SAFETY WARNINGS

CAUTION: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY, AND/OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.

WORK ENVIRONMENT

1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Anyone

entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment.

Distractions can cause you to lose control and fragments of work or a
broken disc may fly away and cause injury.

4. Store power tools properly when not in use. Abrasive products should be
stored in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children.

5. Please read these instructions carefully and retain for future reference.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified

plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.

2. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

3. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cable for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of

electric shock.

4. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or

under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in personal injury.

2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hearing protection
and a workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
plugging in. Plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.

4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. Dress
properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.

6. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Keep the
work area clean and tidy.

ASSEMBLY

PREPARATION

For maximum stability the bandsaw should be bolted firmly to either a
workbench, a suitable stand, or a piece of plywood, 5/8” thick, and the
plywood should be clamped firmly to a workbench, using clamps, whenever
the bandsaw is being used.

The saw must be located in an area large enough to allow you to work freely,
taking into account the likely size of your workpiece, and that there should be
adequate lighting.

Make sure also that an adequate electrical supply is close by. Take extra care
if extension leads are used. Make sure that there is no possibility of tripping
over the lead when moving around the work area.

FITTING THE TABLE

1. Rest the bandsaw on its side,
supported by a block of timber
and protect the casing from
damage with cardboard. Fit the
feet to the bandsaw using the
pan head screws and washers.

2. Remove the D-nut and wing
screw from the table (if fitted).

3. Fit the table to the bandsaw using
socket head M8 x 14 bolts and
8mm flat washers. Ensure the saw blade is central in the table slot.

4. Screw the table stop bolt into the underneath of the table.

5. Re-fit the D-nut and wing screw to the table.

6. Fit the push stick hook to the side
of the machine and tighten using

drawer which can be removed and
emptied as required. This is best
cleared out regularly.

16

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]

USING THE PUSH STICK

The push-stick serves as an extension
of the operators hand as protection
against accidentally touching the
saw blade.

The push-stick should be used if the
rip fence is close to the blade.

When not in use, the push-stick can
be stored on the hook provided on
the bandsaw frame.

PRACTICAL OPERATION

Before commencing work, ensure the work area is clean and tidy and the
machine table is clear of tools etc. Plan your work carefully and set the
machine up accordingly before switching on.

• Check the blade is correctly tensioned before use (see page 13).

• Set the upper blade guide as close as practical to the workpiece. This
provides the best safety for the operator and giving more accurate results
and greater control.

• Adjust the height of the upper blade guide to achieve the best control. The
guideshould always be set to just clear the top of the workpiece.

• Switch on and allow the saw blade to reach full speed before proceeding.

• Use both hands to feed the workpiece. The work must be held flat on the
table at all times to prevent binding of the blade. Use a steady, even
pressure, just sufficient to keep the blade cutting.

• Always use the rip fence or mitre gauge where possible to eliminate any
sideways movement of the work. This is most important when the table is
tilted at an angle.

• Remember that the blade removes material during the cut creating a gap
called the ‘kerf’, which must be allowed for when cutting to exact sizes.
Plan your cut so that the kerf is the scrap side of the line you wish to cut.
Where necessary, allow a little more material for finishing.

• Always use a suitable holding device when cutting round or irregular
shaped timber to prevent twisting of the work piece.

17

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]

TYPES OF CUT

Several types of cut are possible with this saw i.e. rip cutting, cross cutting,
bevel or mitre cutting.

RIP CUTTING

This term refers to cutting timber in the same direction as the grain, rather than
across it. You can rip wood freehand to a drawn pencil line, but best results
are obtained by using the rip fence.

If the table is set level, set the rip-fence to the left hand side of the blade,
allowing you to use your right hand to hold the work firmly against the fence.

The scale on the fence guide rail indicates the distance of the fence from the
saw blade and can be used as shown on page 15.

When cutting a bevel rip, with the table tilted at any angle up to 45o, set the
rip fence to the right hand side of the blade if the width of the workpiece
allows it. With the fence on the ‘downhill’ side of the table, it will help support
the workpiece.

The width of cut indicator (scale) on the guide rail may be used to set the rip
fence to the required cutting position.

Long workpieces may require additional support in the form of blocks or rollers
and may be pulled as well as pushed to pass them through the bandsaw.

CROSS CUTTING

This term refers to cutting timber at right angles to the grain. This type of cut
can also be made freehand, but the mitre gauge is used to ensure accurate

results. The mitre gauge can be adjusted up to 60
with the table tilted, compound mitre cuts.

Make sure the work is held firmly against the table and against the face of the
mitre gauge. Be careful to keep your fingers away from the blade, particularly
at the end of the cut.

o

to produce mitre cuts, and

MITRE CUTTING

Most crosscut work, especially with small pieces is more easily controlled with
the use of a mitre gauge. The mitre gauge is also essential for accurate

compound mitre cuts. The gauge is graduated to 60
hand angles.

o

for both left and right

FREEHAND CUTTING

The ease with which many different and varied shapes can be cut is one of
the most important features of the bandsaw.

18

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]

When freehand cutting, always feed the work slowly so that the blade can
follow the line you wish to cut. Make sure not to drag the work off line, forcing
the blade sideways, or twisting it.

In many cases, it is helpful to rough cut about 6mm away from the line. For
difficult curves which may be too tight for the blade, make relief cuts at 90° to
the face of the curve so that these scraps will fall away as the final radius is
sawn.

Each blade has a minimum radius which it will be able to cut, dependant
upon its width. The blade supplied is 10mm wide and able to cut as little as
50mm radius, beyond which the stress may cause it to break. If using a
different blade, a bandsaw blade radius chart should be consulted.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE AND DISCONNECT FROM
THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY CLEANING OR
MAINTENANCE TASKS.

CLEANING

Accumulated dust and chips should be removed from inside the bandsaw
frequently as well as emptying the dust drawer. Open the upper and lower
covers, use a soft brush and/or vacuum cleaner to remove sawdust. If
compressed air is used, ensure it is set to no more than 10 psi.

At the end of every work session, clean sawdust away from the motor vents.

CHANGING THE SAW BLADE

WARNING: THE TEETH OF THE BLADE ARE SHARP. TAKE CARE WHEN
HANDLING THE BLADE IN SITUATIONS SUCH AS UNPACKING, MOUNTING
OR REPLACING.

1. Remove the D-nut/screw from the
table.

2. Open the upper and lower
covers.

3. Set the upper blade guide to its
lowest position.

4. Loosen the quick-release lever
until the saw blade has
slackened.

5. Remove the saw blade from the
machine.

6. Fit a fresh saw blade, passing it
behind the side guard and
aligning it with the upper and
lower blade guides. Centre the
blade on the rubber tyres of the
wheels. Ensure the teeth are
pointing downwards towards the
table.

7. Tighten the quick release lever.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]

8. Set the blade tracking as described on page 13.

9. Close the upper & lower covers.

10. Adjust the blade tension as described on page 13.

11. Adjust the upper and lower blade guide as described on pages 13/14.

CHANGING THE WHEEL PULLEY TYRES

Eventually the rubber tyres on the bandsaw pulley wheels may wear due to
the constant contact with the blade. Remove the saw blade as described on
page 20, then lift the edge of the tyre with a small screwdriver and carefully
work off the wheel. Ease on the new tyre, ensuring it sits evenly around the
wheel.

We recommend that both tyres

are changed at the same time.
