12. CHANGING THE BLADE SPEED

WARNING:

chine has been unplugged from the electrical supply.

This band saw has two blade speeds:

1620 feet/min for hardwoods, some plastics and certain nonfer-

rous metals.

3340 feet/min for all other timber.

The lower bandwheel has two, integral, multi-vee form pulleys and the motor shaft has a twin multi-vee form pulley.

The drive belt passes around the bandwheel pulley, the motor pulley and the tension wheel. The belt tension is released and applied by using the crank handle (See FIG. 22). This moves the tension wheel and allows the speed to be changed. (See DRIVE BELT POSITIONS HIGH/LOW SPEED on page 11)

OPERATION

WARNING:

Before starting check if any part of your band saw is missing, malfunctioning, has been damaged or broken, such as the motor switch, or other operation control, a safety device or the power cord, turn the band saw off and unplug it until the particular part is properly repaired or replaced.

The saw blade cuts on a continuous downstroke. To avoid injury when hands are unavoidably near to the saw blade, they should be placed on either side of the blade (See FIG. 26), not in line with it (See FIG. 27). Use a push stick whenever possible when working in close proximity to the saw blade.

Start the band saw by pressing the green ON button (See FIG. 28) and wait for the band saw to come to full speed before starting to cut. Never start the band saw with the work piece in contact with the saw blade.

Slowly feed the work piece towards the saw blade, putting only light pressure on it. With both hands, rmly hold the work piece down on the table, and feed it towards the saw blade slowly.

Once the cutting operation is complete turn the band saw off by pressing the red STOP paddle on the switch.

FIG. 26

FIG. 27

Blade

Correct

Blade

Incorrect

For best results the saw blade must be sharp. Select the right saw blade for the job, depending on the thickness of the wood the cut to be made. The thinner and harder the wood, the ner the teeth (14 teeth per inch) of the saw blade. Use a ne tooth blade for cutting sharp curves. For thick wood cutting use less teeth, approximately 4 teeth per inch.

The machine is especially suited for cutting curves, but will also make straight cuts. Do not attempt to turn the work piece without pushing it, as this may cause the work piece to get stuck, or the saw blade to bend.

An accessory rip fence is used to ensure safe and accurate straight cuts of the work piece, usually in the same direction as the grain of the timber. Please see separate instructions provided in the accessory rip fence package.

WARNING:

When sawing with the rip fence and a tilted table, the rip fence must be installed on that side of the table which is tilted downward.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

cleaning or carrying out maintenance work, switch off and disconnect the band saw from the power source.

Never use water or other liquids to clean the band saw. Use a dry brush.

Regular maintenance of the band saw will prevent unnecessary problems.

Keep the table clean to ensure accurate cutting.

Keep the outside of the machine clean to ensure accurate opera-

tion of all moving parts and prevent excessive wear.

Keep the ventilation slots of the motor clean to prevent it from

overheating.

Keep the inside (near the saw blade, etc.) clean to prevent accumulation of dust (See FIG. 29 & 30). Use dust collection if possible.

To prolong the life of the saw blade, when the band saw is not in use for extended periods, release the saw blade tension. Before reusing the band saw ensure that the blade is re-tensioned and tracking is checked.
