The bandsaw does not have many parts. The 

major parts are discussed in this manual. If you 

are not familiar with the bandsaw, take the time 

to read this section and become familiar with 

the machine.

1. Tension indicator/window

Tension indicators are designed to indicate 

the compression of a spring. As a rule, the 

greater the spring compression, the greater 

the tension on the blade. The tension scale 

does not register until the blade is relatively 

taut and is located on the inside of the body of 

the bandsaw. The tension scale is a general 

reference and not a rule. It is visible with the 

upper door closed by looking through the 

tension indicator window.

2. Switch

To start the machine press the “I” button on 

the start stop switch. To shut off the machine 

press the “O” on the start stop switch. When 

the safety switch is pressed it stops the power 

to the motor. To reset it, twist and it will pop out 

and allow power to be supplied to the motor.

3. Motor

The bandsaw is supplied with a 2,2kW, 400V 

motor. It drives the lower flywheel through a 

drive belt. 

4. Frame

The frame of the bandsaw is a U-shaped frame, 

which houses all the parts of the machine.

This is the heart of the bandsaw and has to be 

very rigid, as it takes the strain of the blade

being tensioned. 

5. Blade tension handle

The blade tension handle moves the blade 

tension and tilt assembly vertically. The vertical 

action compresses a spring that ensures 

that the blade tension is constant and will 

not change dramatically as the blade length 

increases due to the heat generated by the 

cutting action.

6. Blade tracking window

There is a blade tracking window on the side 

of the frame that allows the edge of the upper 

flywheel to be viewed. This allows the tracking 

of the blade to be achieved with the door 

closed.

7. Cast iron table

The table supports the work piece and can tilt 

(-6 degrees to +45 degrees) to produce cuts at

various angles. It has a groove to the right-hand 

side of the blade, which is used to guide the

miter gauge. In the center there is a table insert 

which the blade passes through. Should the

blade wander off center, this table insert will 

protect the blade from damage, as it is soft and

should not damage the blade. The table also 

supports the adjustable fence, which is used for

parallel cuts. There is a nut and bolt that joins 

both sides of the table and stops the table from

warping. The nut and bolt must always be fitted 

in the table and only removed when removing 

or fitting a blade.

 

8. Blade guide adjustment hand wheel

The upper blade guides are attached to the 

blade guide shaft. The shaft is vertically 

adjustable with a hand wheel. The guides 

should be adjusted so the guides are just 

above the wood being cut. This gives the blade 

maximum stability and is also the safest way to 

operate the bandsaw. 

9. Blade guides

There are two sets of blade guides, one above 

and one below the table. The function of the 

guides is to give the blade stability and ensure 

that the blade movement left/right, forward/

back is kept to a minimum. The guides above 

the table are fitted to a shaft that has vertical 

adjustment. The upper guides are adjustable so 

that the guides are held just above the job being 

cut. This gives the blade the maximum amount 

of stability and also keeps the amount of blade 

that is exposed to a minimum. The guides have 

ceramic inserts that can be adjusted for almost 

zero clearance.

10. Rip fence assembly

The rip fence assembly consists of a guide rail, 

cast knuckle, fence attachment casting, rule

and a high-low fence. The guide rail is attached 

to the table side. It guides the fence assembly

across the table. The cast knuckle slides on the 

guide rail and is lockable in any position to

suit the width of cut. The fence attachment 

casting is attached to the cast knuckle with 

three screws that when loosened allow the 

fence to be adjusted for drift. The fence is 

attached to the fence attachment casting with 

two studded knobs that allow the fence to be 

adjusted laterally across the table to suit the 

job being cut. The fence can be fitted in the low 

position or the vertical (7 1/4“ height) position. 

There is a rule that is fitted to the side of the 

table and can be used as a quick guide on the

distance that th  

The Fence Stop can be used for non through 

cuts and can be set on any length of the fence

with the quick release handle.”e fence is from 

the blade.

Note

. The rule will have to be adjusted each 

time the fence is adjusted for drift, as this will 

change the distance the fence is from the blade.

11. Dust ports 100 mm

The bandsaw produces a lot of sawdust, so 

extraction is very important. This is achieved by

connecting a 100mm dust extraction hoses with 

a minimum capacity of 1699 m

3

/h to the two 

dust ports located at the back of the machine. 

The stronger the suction from the dust collector, 

the better for you and the machine.

12. Quick-release blade tension lever

There is a quick-release tension lever at the 

back of the bandsaw. The lever is a convenient

way of quickly releasing the tension on 

the blade and speeds up blade change 

dramatically.

 

13. Blade-tracking knob

The blade-tracking knob is located at the back 

of the bandsaw and is used to adjust the blade

tracking. The knob must be locked once the 

adjustment is completed.

14. Optional mobility kit

The optional mobility kit is fitted to the base of 

the bandsaw and consists of two fixed wheels 

at the front of the bandsaw and a swivel wheel 

at the back of the band saw. The swivel wheel 

is activated and deactivated with a foot lever. 

With the swivel wheel deactivated, the bandsaw 

sits on two rubber feet. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

15. Optional light

The optional light is fitted with four screws 

through pre-drilled holes at the top of the 

bandsaw. The bandsaw is provided with a 220V 

socket that the light can be connected to.

16. Blade guide shaft lock

The upper blade guide is fixed to the blade 

guide shaft, which is vertically adjustable. Once 

the guides have been adjusted vertically, the 

shaft is locked in position with the lock knob.

17. Flywheel

The blade is suspended over two wheels that 

are covered with rubber called a „tire“. The tire 

cushions the blade and protects the teeth from 

coming in contact with the metal of the flywheel. 

The lower wheel is the drive wheel and is 

attached to the motor with a rubber drive belt. 

The lower flywheel powers the blade and pulls 

the blade down through the work piece. The 

top wheel has two functions. One function is to 

balance or track the blade on the wheels, and 

the second one is to tension the blade. Both 

functions are adjustable.

18. Brake

The bandsaw is provided with a brake that is 

operated by applying the foot pedal. When the 

foot pedal is applied, the power is removed 

from the motor and the flywheel is slowed by 

the disc break.
