3. ASSEMBLY
3.1.
Unpacking
3.1.1. Unpack the bandsaw and inspect all parts. If any parts are damaged
contact your distributor.
3.1.2. Unbolt from the transport skid and place on a firm, level surface.
3.1.3. Clean all rust protected surfaces with kerosene, diesel oil, or a mild solvent. Do not use cellulose based
solvents as these will damage painted surfaces.
3.2.
Assembly
3.2.1. Place blocks under each end of the saw base to allow for wheel installation.
Caution: Make
sure the saw is completely supported.
3.2.2. Insert both wheel axles through the holes in the base.
3.2.3. Attach wheels onto both axles and fasten with washers and split pins provided.
3.2.4. Insert the stop rod (fig.1.A) into the cutting base and tighten screw (B).
3.2.5. Locate the material stop (C) onto stop rod and secure it by tightening the thumb screw (D).
3.2.6. Attach the pulley cover (fig.2.1) with the screws and washers provided. Close when attached
and secure with thumb screw (fig.2.2).
3.2.7. Remove the transportation strap and save for later use should the saw need to be moved -
see label on bottom left of blade arm. Adjust arm stop so that toothed edge of blade is just
below level of table. Adjust cut-off switch actuation screw, to the right of arm stop, so that
motor is cut-off at this point but switch is not supporting weight of blade arm.

The SM35CE is designed for light/medium metal cutting work in engineering workshops, garages and metal fabricators, etc.,
in a horizontal
position only.
It is not to be used for cutting any other material, or used in a vertical position. The bandsaw is not suitable for cutting wood
and, if used for this purpose, the insurer will not provide coverage.
The saw arm is fitted with hydraulic damping to prevent it being dropped onto the workpiece and to ensure smooth cutting performance and
the blade guards are redesigned for improved safety. The heavy duty single phase electric motor has an over-current sensor to cut the power in
the event of blade jamming.
The saw is manufactured to comply with Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 1992 (S.I.3073) and is fully CE approved.
