TILTING THE TABLE
1. Loosen the table tilt clamps.
2. Adjust the table to the required
angle.
• We recommend that you use
an engineers square to ensure
precise accuracy.
3. Retighten the table tilt clamps.
4. When table is level, adjust the limit
stop bolt so table rests on top of
the bolt.
OPERATION
Before commencing work, ensure the work area is clean and tidy and the
bandsaw table is clear of tools etc. Plan your work carefully and set the
bandsaw up accordingly before switching on.
1. Check the blade is correctly tensioned before use (see page 18).
2. Set the upper blade guide as close as practical to the workpiece, no more
than 3mm (see page 13). This provides the best safety for the operator and
gives more accurate results and greater control.
3. Switch on and allow the saw
blade to reach full speed before
proceeding.
• Use both hands to feed the
workpiece. The work must be
held flat on the table at all
times to prevent the blade from
binding
• Use a steady, even pressure,
just sufficient to keep the blade cutting.
• Always use the rip fence where possible to eliminate any sideways
movement of the work. This is most important when the table is tilted at
an angle.
• Remember that the blade removes material during the cut creating a
gap called the ‘kerf’, which must be allowed for when cutting to exact
sizes. Plan your cut so that the kerf is the scrap side of the line you wish to
cut. Where necessary, allow a little more material for finishing.
