5. Engage the Table Lock Handle (16) with the crank and fasten with the spring-loaded hex screw,
(Fig. VIII)
Note:
The Table Lock Handle (16) acts similarly to a ratchet mechanism and it can be loosened
by turning anti-clockwise. Pulling back on the handle, in the direction of the spring-loaded hex
screw, releases its engagement to the threaded crank, allowing quick effortless Work Table (15)
adjustment.
6. Replace the Table Aligning Screw (6) and wing nut, (Fig. I)
7. If necessary, adjust the Table Angle Guide (18) to reflect the actual table tilt position in degrees
Mounting bandsaw to work stand
WARNING:
ALWAYS make sure your bandsaw is securely mounted to a work bench or an
approved work stand. Motor vibration, weight on the work table and other factors may cause the
bandsaw to tip over, slide or walk along the work stand surface during operation. Failure to do so
could result in an accident, resulting in possible serious personal injury.
• The bandsaw must be securely fastened by the four base holes to a work stand or workbench
with heavy duty fasteners (not included). This prevents the bandsaw from tipping over, sliding or
walking/creeping along the work stand/workbench surface during operation
Blade tension
• When the blade is centred on the upper and lower blade wheels, turn the Blade Tension
Adjustment Knob (12) clockwise until the spring begins to compress. Continue tightening until
the blade is tight on the upper and lower blade wheels
• Ensure the blade is tight so that it will not slip on the wheels, but do not over-tighten
Blade tracking
IMPORTANT:
Set the blade tension BEFORE making any tracking adjustments. Check that the blade
guides are not touching the blade.
• By hand, turn the upper blade wheel clockwise and watch the blade position on the surface of
the wheel. If the blade deviates from the centre, tracking adjustment is required
• If the blade moves towards the outside edge of the blade wheel, turn the Tracking Adjustment
Knob (13) clockwise. Continue adjusting until the blade returns to and remains in the centre
of the blade wheel
• If the blade moves towards the inside edge of the blade wheel, turn the Tracking Adjustment
Knob anti-clockwise. Continue adjusting until the blade returns to and remains in the centre of
the blade wheel
• Check the position of the blade on the lower wheel. If the tracking is off, continue to adjust the
Tracking Adjustment Knob until the blade is centred on both blade wheels as they rotate
Adjusting the upper blade guide stabilising bars and
blade guide bracket
IMPORTANT: The upper and lower blade guides and support bearings stabilise the moving blade
during operation under load conditions. These guides must be checked and adjusted before each
use and after blade changes.
Note:
The Blade Guard (3) will need to be removed in order to perform this task. See 'Replacing the
blade' for detailed instructions on how to remove the Blade Guard.
• Loosen the two blade guide adjusting screws, with a hex key, see 'Fig. XII' . Slide each blade
guide stabilising bar towards the Blade (5) so that they are as close as possible to the blade, but
without touching or pinching the blade. Tighten the two blade guide adjusting screws securely
with the hex key
• Loosen the blade guide bracket adjusting screw with the hex key, (Fig. XIII). Move the bracket in
or out until the front of the two blade guide stabilising bars are to the rear of, and not touching,
the blade teeth
• Retighten the blade guide bracket adjusting screw securely with the hex key, (Fig. XIII)
• Refit the Blade Guard (3) if no additional adjustments are required
WARNING:
ENSURE that the two blade guide stabilising bars do NOT touch the teeth of the
saw blade when you are operating the bandsaw and applying pressure into the saw blade with
your workpiece.
Adjusting the upper blade support bearing
Note: The Blade Guard (3) will need to be removed in order to perform this task. See 'Replacing the
blade' for detailed instructions on how to remove the Blade Guard.
1. The blade support bearing keeps the saw Blade (5) from being pushed back when cutting. This
support bearing should be fixed 3mm behind the blade
2. Loosen the Blade Support bearing adjustment screw with the hex key, (Fig. XIV). Position the
blade support bearing 3mm behind the smooth, rear edge of the blade
3. Tighten the support bearing adjustment screw securely with the hex key, (Fig. XIV)
4. Refit the Blade Guard (3) if no additional adjustments are required
Adjusting the lower blade guide stabilising bars,
blade guide and support bearing
• Access to the lower blade guide stabilising bars, blade guide and support bearing, requires
opening the Lower Blade Housing (8)
350W Bandsaw 190mm
• Follow the same steps and sequence used when adjusting the upper blade guide stabilising bars
for adjusting the lower blade guide and support bearing. See 'Adjusting the upper blade guide
stabilising bars and blade guide bracket' , for detailed instructions on adjustment
• To access the blade guide adjusting screw and support bearing adjusting screw, pass the hex key
through the holes in the lower blade wheel housing
Note:
Make sure you have properly adjusted both the upper and lower blade guides. The blade will
be damaged if the blade teeth hit the blade guides.
Squaring the table to the blade
1. Raise the Blade Guard (3) as far as it will go
2. Loosen the Table Lock Handle (16)
3. Set a combination square on the table and align it with the blade
4. Move the Work Table (15) until it is at a 90° angle to the Blade (5). Tighten the Table Lock Handle
(16)
5. Turn the Table Level Calibration Screw (11) until it touches the frame
6. Recheck the adjustment. Zero the Angle Guide (17) to the correct marking on the Table Angle
Guide (18)
Sawdust ejection port
Note:
It is necessary to connect a dust extraction device to the bandsaw, especially when sawing
wood, as dust particles can be harmful.
• The Sawdust Ejection Port (9) blows dust away from the user and the work area
• The opening of the Sawdust Ejection Port measures 1-¼" and may be connected to a standard
wet/dry workshop vacuum system
Attaching the Push Stick Hook (Fig. XVIII)
1. Remove the upper screw on the top hinge
2. Place the Push Stick Hook (23) in position
3. Screw the upper screw back into the top hinge
Operation
WARNING:
ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing protection, as well
as suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
WARNING:
To prevent personal injury, ALWAYS disconnect the plug from the power source
when making any adjustment.
Switching on and off
WARNING:
Before connecting the tool to a power source, make sure that all fasteners and
adjustment screws are tightly secured.
WARNING:
To avoid possible injury, keep the blade wheel housing cover closed, secured in
place and in proper working order while the tool is in operation.
1. Locate the On/Off Switch (10), on the side of the hinged housing cover
2. To switch the bandsaw 'On' press the green 'I' button
3. To switch the bandsaw 'Off' press the red 'O' button
Using the mitre gauge
• The Mitre Gauge (19) can be turned 45° left or right
• To set the angle, loosen the lock knob on the mitre gauge and rotate the Mitre Gauge until it
reaches the desired angle on the angle gauge (Fig. XVI)
• Retighten the lock knob
Using the fence
• To fit the Fence (20) to the table loosen the locking lever by turning it anti-clockwise. Fit the
fence in the desired location on the Work Table (15), and fasten the fence by pushing the lever
down, (Fig. XVII)
• Use a combination square to ensure that the fence is entirely parallel, or perpendicular to the
blade, and fasten securely
Tilting the work table
1. Loosen the Table Lock Handle (16)
2. Tilt the work table until it reaches the required angle
3. Check the angle on the Angle Guide (17). Tighten the work table lock handle
Making a cut
WARNING:
To avoid blade contact and personal injury, adjust the Blade Guard (3) so that it
just clears the upper surface of the workpiece.
WARNING:
Blade teeth are sharp. Always wear suitable protection, such as cut-resistant
gloves, and take care when handling a bandsaw blade.
WARNING:
This bandsaw is only designed to cut workpieces that can be adequately supported
using the attached Work Table (15). Do not attempt to cut workpieces that cannot be securely
supported by the Work Table.
