Attaching the Rip Fence
11. Attach the rip fence by locating the guide pins into
the groove on the width of cut indicator, see Fig. 8,
lower the hook over the back edge of the table and
lock into position with locking lever.
NOTE: when using the bandsaw with the table tilted, the rip
fence must be fitted to the right of the sawblade.
Fig.8
10. Fit the width of cut indicator to the front of the
table using four bolts and washers supplied, ensure
the cut-out is lined up with the ‘T’ slot in the table.
DO NOT overtighten the bolts, the width of cut
indicator must to be removed when changing or
fitting new saw blades

The Bandsaw is now fully assembled and ready for use, as described below.
OPERATION
Before commencing work, ensure the work area is clean and tidy, and the machine table
is clear of tools etc.
Plan your work carefully and set the machine up accordingly before plugging into the mains
electrical supply.
Several types of cut are possible with this saw i.e. rip
cutting, cross cutting, bevel or mitre cutting
It is IMPORTANT to ensure the blade is correctly tensioned
before use. The blade should be taught, but not
excessively so. To check, attempt to twist the blade in
the centre of its run. A little movement is permissable, but
if it is too slack, turn the adjuster, on the top of the
machine clockwise to tension, anticlockwise to slacken.
Experience will allow you to determine the correct
tension. Be aware of blade movement when cutting,
this will inform you as to whether or not blade tensioning
is correct
The upper blade guide should always be set as close
Fig.9
as practical to the workpiece as shown in Fig.9. Not only does this provide the best safety
for the operator, but it also brings the blade guides closer to the work giving more
accurate results and easier control.
To adjust the height of the guide block, turn the adjuster knob on the right hand side of the
upper wheel housing, anticlockwise to lower and clockwise to raise.
With the table installed and correctly positioned, it is necessary to
ensure the saw blade tracks correctly on its pulley wheels. This
adjustment is carried out at the factory, but it is a wise precaution
to check nevertheless. This check is carried out as follows:
12. Open the upper and lower band wheel doors.
13. Slowly rotate the upper band wheel, by hand, in a clockwise direction. Observe the saw
blade, which should run in the centre of both wheels. If the blade begins to run off the wheels,
it will be necessary to carry out the blade tracking adjustment. (see Maintenance for full
details). If the blade runs correctly in the centre of the wheels, then close the doors.
