MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Accumulated dust and chips should be removed from inside the bandsaw
frequently as well as emptying the dust drawer. Open the upper and lower
covers, use a soft brush and/or vacuum cleaner to remove sawdust. If
compressed air is used, ensure it is set to no more than 10 psi.
At the end of every work session, clean sawdust away from the motor vents.
CHANGING THE SAW BLADE
1. Remove the D-nut/screw from the
table.
2. Open the upper and lower
covers.
3. Set the upper blade guide to its
lowest position.
4. Loosen the quick-release lever
until the saw blade has
slackened.
5. Remove the saw blade from the
machine.
6. Fit a fresh saw blade, passing it
behind the side guard and
aligning it with the upper and
lower blade guides. Centre the
blade on the rubber tyres of the
wheels. Ensure the teeth are
pointing downwards towards the
table.
7. Tighten the quick release lever.
WARNING: ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE AND DISCONNECT FROM
THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY CLEANING OR
MAINTENANCE TASKS.
WARNING: THE TEETH OF THE BLADE ARE SHARP. TAKE CARE WHEN
HANDLING THE BLADE IN SITUATIONS SUCH AS UNPACKING, MOUNTING
OR REPLACING.
