WARNING! ENSURE THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE.
6.1.
Changing tyres
Eventually the tyres on the bandsaw wheels will wear due to the constant contact with the blade teeth.
Lift the edge of the tyre with a small screwdriver and the tyre can be worked off the wheel easily. It is recommended that both tyres be
changed at the same time.
6.2.
Blade guides
Blade guides should be inspected regularly for wear or chipping. When replacing guides, replace all guides at the same time, both upper and lower.
6.3.
Table insert
The insert should be inspected regularly and replaced if wear or damage is found.
6.4.
Bearings
All bearings used in the construction of the bandsaw and motor are sealed and lubricated for life.
6.5.
Cleaning
Remove dust and chips from the inside of the bandsaw frequently. Open the front covers and use a brush or vacuum cleaner.
At the end of every work session, clean sawdust away from the motor vents.

5.1.
Cross cutting
To cut wood at right angles to the grain. This type of cut can be made freehand but using the mitre guide ensures accurate results. The
guide can also be adjusted to a 45° angle to produce mitre cuts, or compound mitre cuts with the table tilted. Ensure the work is held
firmly against the table and against the face of the mitre guide.

WARNING!
Keep your fingers away from the blade, particularly at the end of the cut.
5.2.
Freehand
When freehand cutting, select the widest blade suitable for cutting the smallest radius in the work you have planned (see below).
Always feed the work slowly to follow your saw line. Ensure you do not drag the work off-line forcing the blade sideways or twisting it.
It may be helpful to make an initial rough cut about 5mm away from the line. For difficult curves which may be too tight for the blade,
make relief cuts on the face of the curve so that the waste wood will fall away as the final radius is cut.

5.3.
Blade and blade speed selection
5.3.1. The hardness of the workpiece determines the blade speed required. Soft materials (light wood) - high speed, hard materials
(metals) - low speed.
5.3.2. There should be at least three saw teeth in contact with the workpiece at any one time during cutting. Therefore the thinner the
workpiece the higher the blade tpi required.
5.4.
Bevel cutting
When bevel cutting with the table tilted always have the workpiece guide (fence or mitre) on the lower part of the table.
5.5.
Workpiece stability
Any workpiece which does not have a flat surface which will ensure stability on the saw table
must be
held in a suitable device which
will prevent rotation.
