• Sharpened blades should be more thoroughly inspected before use and replaced
immediately if there is any doubt about their condition and suitability for use.
• In the event blades encounter an embedded object in use that the blades are not suitable
for, blades should be replaced immediately.
• Direction of feed. Always feed work into the blade or cutter against the direction of movement
of the blade or cutter.
• Beware of heat. Cutting tools and workpieces may become hot in use. Do not attempt to change
tools until they have been allowed to cool completely.
• Do not allow dust or swarf to build up. Sawdust is a fire hazard, and some metal swarf is
explosive.
• Be especially careful when cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal cutting are a common
cause of wood dust fires.
• Where possible, use a dust extraction system to ensure a safer working environment.
Bandsaw Safety
Do not use saw bands which are damaged, excessively worn or deformed. Doing so could
cause the band to rupture and be projected in the area of the operator.
Do not operate the bandsaw when the guard protecting the saw band is open. The saw band
mechanism is dangerous when in motion.
Do not attempt to clean the saw band when it is in motion. If tool cleaning is required, switch
off the machine and wait for the saw to stop moving before commencing cleaning procedures.
Always ensure the blade guard is fully down during transportation. An exposed saw blade is
dangerous and could potentially harm the operator or bystanders during transportation.
Do not use a bandsaw with a worn table insert. The table insert provides support to the
workpiece local to the cut, a worn table insert will give inadequate support.
Never use the guards for holding during transportation. Hold the bandsaw at a structurally
reinforced area that is suitable for holding during transportation.

Intended Use
Induction-motor bench-mounted bandsaw with integral table that can be tilted to allow for cutting
at angles up to 45°. Can be used for cutting irregular and curved shapes in wood, plastic, and light
and soft metals only.
NOT INTENDED FOR COMMERCIAL USE. The tool must ONLY be used for its intended purpose. Any use
other than those mentioned in this manual will be considered a case of misuse. The operator, and not
the manufacturer, shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse. The
manufacturer shall not be liable for any modifications made to the tool, nor for any damage resulting
from such modifications.
Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise yourself with all its features and functions.
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or
damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool.
Before Use
WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before attaching or changing
any accessories or making any adjustments.
Table installation
1. Remove the Table Aligning Screw (6) and wing nut from the edge of the Work Table (15) (Fig. I).
2. Remove the spring-loaded hex screw from the shaft of the Table Lock Handle (16), to release and
remove the crank from the Table Lock Handle (Fig. II).
3. Slide the Work Table onto the Lower Blade Housing (8) by passing the blade through the blade
slot in the Work Table (Fig. III). Align the raised mounting rib (Fig. IV) located on the side of the
Lower Blade Housing with the recess located on the rear of the Table Angle Guide (18) (Fig. V).
4. Slide the flat washer over the threaded end of the crank (Fig. VI). Insert the threaded end of the
crank through the curved slot on the Table Angle Guide and screw into the threaded hole (Fig.
VII). Tighten the screw until the mounting rib fully engages with the recessed groove on the Table
Angle Guide.
5. Engage the Table Lock Handle with the crank and fasten with the spring-loaded hex screw (Fig.
VIII).
Note: The Table Lock Handle 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 adjustment.
6. Replace the Table Aligning Screw and wing nut (Fig. I).
7. If necessary, adjust the Table Angle Guide 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 workbench or an
approved work stand. Motor vibration, weight on the Work Table (15) 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.
