ASSEMBLY & SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE OPERATING BANDSAw
FIGURE 7
Installation of the Belt and Pulley Cover, Belt and Tensioning Belt
To install the belt and pulley cover:
1) Place the belt and pulley cover fixing plate (A) Fig.7 around the pulleys as
shown in Fig.7 and fix it into place using 2 hex. bolts (B).
This Bandsaw comes with 3 blade speeds, the blade speed is determined by the
position of the belt on both pulleys. See chart below for belt position and
resulting blade speed.
To install the belt around the pulleys:
1) First step is to unscrew the belt tension knob (A) Fig.8 in order to bring the
motor assembly/motor pulley (B) Fig.9 closer to the drive pulley (C) Fig.9.
2) Then slide the belt (A) Fig.9 around the appropriate pulleys that will give you
the required blade speed, see chart above.
3) Finally, tighten the belt tension knob (A) Fig.8 to tension the belt. The proper
belt tension is achieved when the belt has a 1/2” deflection when pressed in
the centre.
4) Close belt cover and lock it closed with lock knob.
Adjusting Toggle Switch Auto Shut-off Plate
The auto shut-off plate must be adjusted, so the Bandsaw shuts off
automatically when a cut is complete. To adjust the auto shut-off plate:
1) with the Bandsaw disconnected from the power source, lift the head and then
place the toggle switch (A) Fig.10 to the “On” position.
2) Lower the head slowly to see if the auto shut-off plate (B) will push the toggle
switch down to the “Off” position.
3) If the auto shut-off plate does not push the toggle switch all the way to the “Off”
position, loosen auto shut-off plate bolt (C) and lower plate until it pushes the
toggle switch all the way to the “Off” position.
4) Retighten the auto shut-off plate bolt.
