Caution!
Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in
accordance with instructions, certain resi-
dual risks cannot be rules out. The following
hazards may arise in connection with the
equipment’s construction and layout:
1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust
mask is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protec-
tion is used.
5. Before starting the equipment
Make sure the machine stands securely, i.e. bolt it
to a workbench or solid base. There are two holes
for this purpose in the machine foot.
•
The saw table must be mounted correctly.
•
All covers and safety devices have to be pro-
perly fitted before the machine is switched on.
•
It must be possible for the blade to run freely.
•
When working with wood that has been pro-
cessed before, watch out for foreign bodies
such as nails or screws etc.
•
Before you actuate the On/Off switch, make
sure that the saw blade is correctly fitted and
that the machine’s moving parts run smoothly.
•
Before you connect the machine to the power
supply, make sure the data on the rating plate
is the same as that for your mains.
6. Assembly
CAUTION!
Pull out the power plug before carrying out any
maintenance, resetting or assembly work on the
bandsaw!
6.1.1 Fitting the rubber feet / tilt guard (Fig.
5a/ 5b)
Secure the four rubber feet (49) to the bottom
side of the equipment using the screw (51), the
washer (43) and the nut (44).
Push the tilt guard (27) into the foot (5) and se-
cure it to the equipment using the Socket head
screw (52), the washer (53) and the nut (54).
6.1.2 Mounting the saw table (Fig. 3 - 4)
•
Remove the web panel (4).
•
Place the saw table (15) onto the machine
housing from the rear. Secure the saw table
using the washers (55), the locking grip (18)
and the locking lever (56).
•
To dismantle, proceed in reverse order.
6.2. Tensioning the blade (Figure 1)
•
CAUTION!
Remove the tension from the
blade if the bandsaw is not going to be used
for some time. Be sure to re-tension the blade
before you start the machine.
•
Turn the tightening screw (9) for tensioning
the blade (26) in a clockwise direction.
•
The correct blade tension can be checked
by applying pressure to the side of the blade
with your finger, somewhere in the middle
between the two blade pulleys (7 + 8). You
should only be able to bend the blade (26)
very slightly (approx. 1-2 mm).
•
When the blade is tensioned enough, it will
produce a metallic sound when tapped.
•
Take the tension off the blade when you do
not want to use it for some time; this will help
to prevent overstretching.
•
Caution!
The blade may break if the tension
is too high. BEWARE OF INJURY! If the tensi-
on is too low, the powered blade pulley (7) will
spin while the blade does not move.
6.3 Adjusting the blade (
fi
g. 1-2)
•
CAUTION! The blade tension has to be set
correctly before you can adjust the blade.
•
Undo the fasteners (13) and open the side
cover (12).
•
Turn the upper blade pulley (8) slowly in a
