6.6. Adjusting the machine table (15) to 90°
(12/13)
•
Move the upper blade guide (11) to the top.
•
Undo the fixing handles (18).
•
Place the angle (d) between the blade (26)
and the table (15). The angle (d) is not inclu-
ded in delivery.
•
Turn the setting wheel (19) to tilt the saw table
(15) until it is at an angle of exactly 90° to the
blade (26).
•
Re-tighten the fixing handle (18).
•
Undo the nut (42).
•
Adjust the Allen screw (41) until there is con-
tact with the machine frame.
•
Re-tighten the nut (42) to fasten the Allen
screw (41).
6.7. Blade selection
The blade supplied with the bandsaw is designed
for all-purpose use. When you select a blade you
should have regard to the following criteria:
•
Use a narrow blade to cut tighter radii than
you can with a wider blade.
•
Wide blades are used to saw straight cuts.
This is particularly important in cutting wood
because the blade has a tendency to follow
the grain of the wood and thereby deviate ea-
sily from the cutting line.
•
Finely toothed blades provide smoother cuts
but are slower than coarse blades.
Important: Never use warped or lacerated
blades!
6.8. Changing the blade (Fig. 14)
•
Move the blade guide (11) into a position
approximately half way between the saw table
(15) and the machine housing (25).
•
Undo the fasteners (13) and open the side
cover (12).
•
Remove the web panel (4).
•
Turn the tightening screw (9) anti-clockwise to
remove the tension from the blade (26).
•
Remove the blade (26) from the blade pulleys
(7, 8) and take out through the slot in the table
(15).
•
Fit the new blade (26), aligned centrally on
the blade pulleys (7, 8). The teeth of the blade
(26) must point downwards in the direction of
the table.
•
Tension the blade (26) (see 6.2)
•
Close the side cover (12) again.
•
Mount the web panel (4) again.

6.9. Changing the rubber tires on the blade
pulleys (Figure 15)
After a certain time the rubber tires (3) on the bla-
de pulleys (7/8) will get worn by the sharp teeth of
the blades and must be replaced.
•
Open the side cover (12).
•
Remove the blade (26) (see 6.7).
•
Lift the edge of the tire (3) with a small
screwdriver (f) and remove from the blade
pulley (8).
•
Repeat for the lower blade pulley (7).
•
Fit the new tire (3), replace the blade (26) and
close the side cover (12).
6.10. Changing the table insert (Figure 16)
To prevent increased likelihood of injury the table
insert (17) should be changed whenever it is worn
or damaged.
•
Detach the table (15) (see 6.1).
•
Lift out the worn table insert (17).
•
Fit the replacement table insert by following
the above in reverse.
6.11. Extractor sockets
The bandsaw is equipped with extractor sockets
(6) for extracting sawdust and chips.
6.12. Push stick holder (Fig. 6)
•
Mount the push stick holder (45) on the ma-
chine frame (25).
•
When not in use, the push stick must always
be kept on the holder.
7. Control elements
7.1. On/Off switch (Figure 17)
•
To turn the machine on, press the green but-
ton „1" (g).
•
To turn the machine off again, press the red
button „0" (h).
•
Your bandsaw has a switch with undervoltage
release. After a power failure you must re-
activate the switch.
7.2. Parallel stop (Figure 18)
•
Push the clip (21) on the parallel stop (24)
upwards.
•
Move the parallel stop (24) along the table
(15), from either the right or left of the blade
(26), and position as required.
•
Push the clip (21) down to fix the parallel stop
(24). If the clip (21) does not give enough
hold, turn it clockwise several times until the
