7.6. Adjusting the machine table (15) to 90° (12/13)
• Move the upper blade guide (11) to the top.
• Undo the fixing handles (18).
• Set the angle (d) between the blade (26) and the table (15).
• Turn the setting wheel (19) to tilt the saw table (15) until it is at an angle of exactly 90° to the
blade (26).
• Re-tighten the fixing handle (18).
• Undo the nut (42).
• Adjust the Allen screw (41) until there is contact with the machine frame.
• Re-tighten the nut (42) to fasten the Allen screw (41).
7.7. Blade selection
The blade supplied with the bandsaw is designed for all-purpose use. When you select a blade you
should have regard to the following criteria:
• Use a narrow blade to cut tighter radii than you can with a wider blade.
• Wide blades are used to saw straight cuts. This is particularly important in cutting wood
because the blade has a tendency to follow the grain of the wood and thereby deviate easily
from the cutting line.
• Finely toothed blades provide smoother cuts but are slower than coarse blades.
7.8. Changing the blade (Figure 14)
• Move the blade guide (11) into a position approximately half way between the saw table (15)
and the machine housing (25).
• Undo the fasteners (13) and open the side cover (12).
• Remove the web panel (4).
• Turn the tightening screw (9) anti-clockwise to remove the tension from the blade (26).
• Remove the blade (26) from the blade pulleys (7, 8) and take out through the slot in the
table (15).
• Fit the new blade (26), aligned centrally on the blade pulleys (7, 8).
The teeth of the blade (26) must point downwards in the direction of the table.
• Tension the blade (26) (see 7.2)
• Close the side cover (12) again.
• Mount the web panel (4) again.
7.9. Changing the rubber tires on the blade pulleys (Figure 15)
After a certain time the rubber tires (3) on the blade pulleys (7/8) will get worn by the sharp teeth
of the blades and must be replaced.
• Open the side cover (12).
• Remove the blade (26) (see 7.7).
• Lift the edge of the tire (3) with a small screwdriver (f) and remove from the blade pulley (8).
• Repeat for the lower blade pulley (7).
• Fit the new tire (3), replace the blade (26) and close the side cover (12).
Attention!
Caution!
Never use warped or lacerated blades!
