6.
Tighten locking nut.
6.2
Mounting
For a firm stand the saw must be
mounted on a stable supporting floor:
1.
Drill four holes in the supporting
floor.
2.
Put fixing bolts through the base
plate and secure with nuts.
6.3
Installing the Saw Table
1.
Fit limit stop screw
to the under-
side of the saw table.
2.
Guide saw table over the band saw
blade and place it on the table trun-
nion.
3.
Attach the saw table with four each
screws
and washers to the
table trunnion.
6.4
Tensioning
the Band Saw
Blade
A
Danger!
Too much tension can cause the
band saw blade to break. Too little
tension can cause the driven band
saw wheel to slip and the band saw
blade to stop.
1.
Raise upper blade guide fully (see
“Operation”).
2.
Checking the blade tension:
−
Check tension by pushing with a
finger, halfway between table and
upper blade guide, against the
side of the blade (the blade
should flex not more than 1-2
mm).
−
Check adjustment at the blade
tension indicator. The scale indi-
cates the correct adjustment in
dependence on the band saw
blade width.
3.
Correct tension if necessary:
−
turning the setting knob
counter-clockwise increases the
blade tension.
−
turning the setting knob
counter-clockwise reduces the
blade tension.
6.5
Fence guide extrusion
installation
•
Fasten the fence guide extrusion
with four thumb screws and
washers to the saw table.
6.6
Rip fence installation
The rip fence can be used on both sides
of the blade.
1.
Place rip fence on rip fence guide.
2.
Tighten lock lever
of rip fence.
6.7
Dust collector connec-
tion
A
Danger!
Some types of saw dust (e.g. of oak,
beech and ash wood) can cause can-
cer when inhaled: always use a dust
collector when working indoors
(required air speed at the saw's suc-
tion connector
≥
20 m/s).
A
Caution!
Operation without a dust collector is
only possible:
−
outdoors;
−
for short-term operation
(up to 30 minutes maximum);
−
with dust respirator.
−
If no dust collector is used chips will
accumulate, which need to be
removed periodically.
Connect dust collector or industrial vac-
uum with a suitable adaptor to the dust
extraction port.
6.8
Changing the Band Saw
Blade
A
Danger!
Risk of injury, even with the band saw
blade at standstill. Wear gloves when
changing blades.
Use only suitable band saw blades
(see “Technical specifications”).
1.
Loosen the four thumb screws and
remove the fence guide extrusion
for the rip fence.
2.
Open housing door.
