INSTRUCTIONS FOR: 

METAL CUTTING BANDSAW

Model:

SM658

Thank you for purchasing a Sealey quality product. Manufactured to a high standard this product will, if used according to these instructions

and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.

IMPORTANT

BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT, PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.  MAKE CAREFUL NOTE OF SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS,

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS. THIS PRODUCT SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE

DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.

1.1.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY 

WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to read, understand and comply with the following:

You must check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure that they are safe to use. You must inspect power supply leads, plugs and all

electrical connections for wear and damage. You must ensure the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety

devices. An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that an RCD

(Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical products. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged

into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by

contacting your Sealey dealer. 

You must

also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.

1.1.1. The 

Electricity At Work Act 1989

requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by 

a qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.

1.1.2. The 

Health & Safety at Work Act 1974

makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of the appliance 

and the safety of the appliance operator. 

If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.

1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the mains power

supply. See 1.1.1. & 1.1.2. above and use a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).

1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.

1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply, leads, plugs for wear and damage and all electrical connections to 

ensure that none is loose. 

1.1.6.

Important:

Ensure the voltage marked on the product is the same as the electrical power supply

to be used and check that plugs are fitted with the correct capacity fuse. A 13 amp plug may require 

a fuse smaller than 13 amps for certain products

,

see fuse rating at right. 

1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the powered appliance by its power supply lead.

1.1.8. DO NOT pull power plugs from sockets by the power cable.

1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damage leads, plugs or connections. Immediately replace or have repaired by 

a qualified electrician. A U.K. 3 pin plug with ASTA/BS approval is fitted. In case of damage, cut off

and fit a new plug according to the following instructions (discard old plug safely).

(UK only - see diagram at right). 

Ensure the unit is correctly earthed via a three-pin plug. 

a)  Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.

b) Connect the BROWN live wire to live terminal ‘L’.

c)  Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.

After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the outer cable

insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and that the cable restraint is tight.

Double insulated products are fitted with live (BROWN) and neutral (BLUE) wires only. Double insulated products are always marked with

this symbol     . 

To re-wire, connect the brown & blue wires as indicated above. DO NOT 

connect the brown or blue to the earth terminal.

1.1.10. Some products require more than a 13 amp electrical supply. In such a case, 

NO

plug will be fitted. 

You must

contact a qualified electrician to ensure

that a 30 amp fused supply is available. We recommend you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and socket with your electrician.

1.1.11.

Cable extension reels

. When a cable extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A cable reel with an RCD

fitted is recommended since any product which is plugged into the cable reel will be protected. The section of the cores of the cable is 

important and should be no less than 1.5mm

2

. However, to be absolutely sure that the capacity of the cable reel is suitable for this

product and for others that may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm

2

section cable.

1.2. GENERAL SAFETY

p

WARNING!

Disconnect the bandsaw from the power source before servicing, changing accessories or performing any other maintenance.

4

Familiarise yourself with applications, limitations and hazards of the product.

4

Maintain the bandsaw in top condition. Keep it clean and keep blades sharp for best and safest performance. 

4

Use original Sealey spare parts only. Unapproved parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

4

Keep all guards and fixing screws in place, tight and in working order. Check regularly for damaged parts. A guard or any other part

that is damaged should be repaired or replaced before the saw is next used. Check also for proper alignment of moving parts, loose

mountings, or any other condition that could affect the operation of the saw.

4

Ensure that the space allocated for use and maintenance of the bandsaw is adequate, free from unrelated materials and has good lighting.

4

Remove any adjusting keys and wrenches from the saw before operating.

4

Wear approved eye and ear protection when operating the bandsaw. If dust is produced, wear an approved face or dust mask.

4

Keep correct footing and balance at all times.

4

Always secure the workpiece with the vice.

4

Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area, especially when the saw is in operation. 

4

Ensure that large or oversize workpieces are supported at table height. Ensure that you use a suitable support for any workpiece that does

not have a flat surface. Be cautious when cutting workpieces which are irregular in cross-section as the saw blade could be pinched.

p

WARNING!

Round bars and tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to “bite”. 

DO NOT

cut such items

without clamping or blocking the workpiece.

p

WARNING! 

Never force the blade through the workpiece.

8

The bandsaw is designed for light metal cutting work in engineering workshops, garages, metal fabricators, etc. 

DO NOT 

attempt to use

it for any other purpose.
