OPERATION MANUAL
5.4 ADJUSTING THE SPEED
The band saws listed in this manual are fitted with a pulley
system that allows for two speeds to be available for the
operation. Below are the details for adjusting the speeds.
To change the speed
1. DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SUPPLY
2. With a hex key, loosen the motor positing clamp on the
back of the machine. (Fig. 5.11)
3. Open the bottom door on the machine to gain access to
the belt drive. (Fig. 5.12)
4. Move the V-belt from one set of pulleys to the other set.
5. Re-Clamp the motor, making sure that the V-belt has
been tensioned correctly.
NOTE: A common speed for the band saw is about one
300 meters per minute. Wood can effectively be cut at much
higher speeds, but you should keep it slower because it’s
safer.

5.5 TILTING THE TABLE
WARNING: Always be sure that the machine is
switched off and unplugged before any
adjustment is commenced.
Loosen the locking handle and adjust the table to
the desired angle using the adjuster knob.
Use the angle indicator scale to find the desired
angle. The scale is only used as a guide. For very
accurate angle use a protractor against the blade.
