INSTALLATION
The machine arrives from the factory in a ready to use position (vertical). Conserve this position during the
unpacking and installation.
An area approximately 1,5m long x 1m wide x 2.1m high is required. See figure 1
Situate a machine over a level and strong surface following the instructions on Fig. 1. Ensure that the machine is
properly seated, if not; adjust the rubber feet to suit (
A
). Observe the working position in figures 1 / 2 / 3.
Check that voltage and frequency are the same as shown on the machine nameplate, as well as whether it is
single or three-phase, with or without neutral.
The installer must ensure the plug is adequately fitted to the main supply to cope
with the conditions existing in the work area.
The machine must be wired to an earth leakage circuit breaker of the appropriate
rating.
Ensure the lighting of the cutting area above 750 Lux.
Open the door of the machine and visually check the band saw is properly fitted on
both the bottom and top pulley. The teeth of the blade should be level with the edge
of the pulley. See Fig. 5.
Check the saw blade tension (see part
CHANGING THE SAW BLADE).
Shut the door, plug the machine to the mains and:
-
press the green start button
-
and immediately the red stop button.
In this way you should observe:
-a. If it is rotating correctly, that is clockwise when facing the machine. On three
phase machines, reserve a phase if it is rotating anti-clockwise.
-b. Make sure the band is running correctly on the pulleys
From this point onwards the machine is considered ready for use.
