Tensioning the drive belt
N O T E
Always keep the drive belt correctly tensioned. A belt that is too loose weakens the
power transmission (drive and braking effect), too much tension leads to excessive
stress on the belt (heating).
To control the belt tension, press inwards at the centre of the belt with a force of three to four
kilograms. The tension is OK if the belt does not yield by more than five to six millimetres.
Tension the drive belt:
The tension on the drive belt (3) can be adjusted by
means of the tension roller position (2).
For tensioning:
o Loosen clamping screw (1)
o Move tensioner pulley in direction (+)
o Fix the position of the tensioner pulley by
tightening the clamping screw (1)
To loosen:
o Unscrew the clamping screw (1)
o Move the tensioner pulley in direction (-)
o Fix the position of the tensioner pulley by
tightening the clamping screw (1)

Selection of saw bands
N O T E
Always wear gloves when handling band saw blades. Handle the band saw blades
carefully to prevent damage. Unused, untensioned band saw blades should be folded
and stored securely in a (child-)safe, dry place. Always check saw blades for
damaged teeth and cracks before use!
Select the band saw blade according to the material to be cut. Narrow bandsaw blades are suitable
for curved and circular cuts, wide bandsaw blades for straight cuts. For hard wood you need finer
toothed bandsaw blades, for soft wood you should use coarser toothed bandsaw blades.
