6.7 Fitting the optional light

Fixing screws and cable clips

 

 

 

 

 

 

The light is fitted to the top of the bandsaw as 

shown. The light is supplied with a plug. The 

cable must be held in position with the clips 

provided and positioned so that the cable is 

safe and will not in any way come close to the 

blade or cabinet door. 

Above is the suggested cable route. Use the 

sticky cable clamps to secure the cable along 

the top of the bandsaw. Ensure that the cable 

is not over the vertical shaft hole, as it could be 

damaged when the shaft exits the hole.

6.8 Connecting the bandsaw to the 

electricity supply

The bandsaw is supplied pre-wired with a 400V / 

16 Amp plug. To protect the electrical circuit, it is 

recommended that the bandsaw be connected to 

a three-pole 16-amp breaker with class C tripping 

characteristic (16/3/C). Pressing the Start/Stop 

button turns the motor on and off.

7. Testing the bandsaw

1. Close the doors.

2. Check that the red safety switch is in the fully 

out position.

3. Check that the machine is clear of all tools and 

other loose objects.

4. Check that all the adjusting and locking 

handles are tight.

5. Check that there is no blade fitted; it is far safer 

to test the machine without a blade fitted.

6. Connect the bandsaw to the electricity supply.

7. Start the bandsaw by pressing the green start button.

8. The lower flywheel is now turning.

9. Now is the time to check that the stop switch is 

functioning correctly.

10. With the machine running (no blade fitted), 

operate the red stop switch by pressing toward 

the machine. The motor should have the power 

turned off and slow down.

11. If the switches fail to operate correctly, do not use 

the machine until the fault has been corrected.

12. With the motor running, press the red 

emergency stop button. The motor should have 

the power turned off and slow down.

13. With the motor running, press the foot break pedal.

The motor should have the power removed and come 

to a stop.

Should the bandsaw fail the test, it must not be 

used until the fault has been corrected.

 

 

Disconnect the power from the bandsaw

1. Remove the throat plate by removing the 

clamp screw.

2. Remove the table split clamp ratchet handle.

3. Remove the plastic blanking plate.

4. Adjust the side guide and back guide out 

as far as they will go (both upper and lower 

guides). This will ensure that they do not 

interfere with the blade while you are fitting, 

tracking and tensioning the blade.

5. Uncoil the blade. Remember to use gloves 

and safety glasses. The blade may have dirt or

oil on it, so use a clean rag to clean the blade 

by pulling rearwards so that the cloth does not

hook on the teeth

6. Inspect the teeth and the general condition of 

the blade. If the teeth are pointing in the wrong 

direction when you hold the blade up to the 

machine, you will have to turn it inside out.

To do this, hold the blade with both hands and 

rotate.

7. Slide the blade through the table split.

8. Open the blade guard door. Slide the blade 

over the top flywheel and feed through the slot

at the side of the vertical column. Then feed the 

blade into the blade guard slot and close the

blade guard door.

9. Deactivate the quick action blade tension 

lever and rotate the blade tension wheel so that

the blade can fit over the lower flywheel.

10. Activate the quick action blade tension lever.

11. Apply light tension to the blade with the 

blade tension wheel.

7.1 Before starting the bandsaw

Read and understand the instruction manual 

before operating the saw.

1. If you are still not thoroughly familiar with the 

operation of the bandsaw, get advice from a

qualified person.

2. Make sure the machine is properly grounded 

and that the wiring codes are followed.

3. Do not operate the bandsaw while under the 

influence of drugs, alcohol or medicine or if tired.

4. Always wear eye protection, safety glasses 

or a safety shield, and hearing protection.

5. Wear a dust mask; long-term exposure to the 

fine dust created by the bandsaw is not healthy.

6. Remove your tie, rings, watch and all jewelry. 

Roll up your sleeves; you do not want

anything to get caught in the saw.

7. Make sure that the guards are in place and 

use them at all times. The guards protect you

from coming in contact with the blade.

8. Make sure that the saw blade teeth point 

downward toward the table.

9. Adjust the upper blade guard so that it is just 

clearing the material being cut.

10. Make sure that the blade has been properly 

tensioned and tracked.

11. Stop the machine before removing the scrap 

piece from the table.

12. Always keep your hands and fingers away 

from the blade.

13. Make sure that you use the proper size and 

type of blade.

14. Hold the work piece firmly against the table. 

Do not attempt to saw stock that does not

have a flat surface facing down, unless a 

suitable support is used.

15. Use a push stick at the end of a cut. This is 

the most dangerous time because the cut is

complete and the blade is exposed. Push sticks 

are commercially available.

16. Hold the wood firmly and feed it into the 

blade at a moderate speed.

17. Turn off the machine if you have to back the 

material out of an uncompleted or jammed cut.

7.2 Fitting a blade to the bandsaw

A lot of people do not like to change the blades 

and go to great lengths to avoid doing it. To

use the bandsaw to its greatest advantage, you 

will have to use the appropriate blade and

track it quickly. This is a habit that can be easily 

developed. If you use a step-by-step method

of tracking and tensioning, the procedure 

should only take a minute or two. Be careful 

when using blades, especially wide ones. 

Always use gloves and safety glasses.
