1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! Disconnect the bandsaw from the power source before servicing, changing accessories, or performing any other maintenance.
Familiarise yourself with the applications and limitations of the bandsaw, as well as the potential hazards.
maintain the bandsaw in top condition. Keep it clean and keep blades sharp for best and safest performance.
Use original Sealey spare parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Keep all guards and fixing screws in place, tight and in working order. Check regularly for damaged parts. A guard or any other part
that is damaged must be repaired or replaced before the saw is used further. Check also for incorrect alignment of moving parts,
loose mountings, or any other condition that could affect the operation of the saw.
Ensure the space allocated for use and maintenance of the machine is adequate, free from unrelated materials and has good lighting.
Wear approved eye and ear protection when operating the machine. If dust is produced, wear an approved face or dust mask.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area, especially when the saw is in operation.
Remove any adjusting keys and wrenches from the machine before operating.
Ensure that large or oversized workpieces are supported at bed height. Ensure you use a suitable support for any workpiece that
does not have a flat surface. Be cautious when cutting workpieces which are irregular in cross-section as the saw blade could be
pinched before the cut is completed. Any stock such as frame moulding, must lay flat on the table surface and not be allowed to rock.
WARNING! Round bar and tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut and cause the blade to “bite”. DO NOT cut such items
without clamping or blocking the workpiece.
WARNING! Never force the blade through the workpiece.
DO NOT use this bandsaw for anything other than its intended purpose. This bandsaw is designed for light metal cutting work in
engineering workshops, garages, metal fabricators, etc. .
WARNING! The SM35CE.V4 bandsaw must not be used to cut non-metallic materials (including wood). To do so will
invalidate your insurance cover and your warranty and may cause damage and/or personal injury.
DO NOT wear loose or ill-fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other jewellery. Tie up, or adequately cover, long hair.
DO NOT start the bandsaw until the workpiece is secure and the blade has been lowered to just above the workpiece.
DO NOT run the bandsaw with the blade in the raised position.

4.1. Remove the unit from packing and check all items. Any transit damage should be reported your supplier immediately.
4.2. Unbolt the saw from the skid and place it on a level surface. (DO NOT attempt to move or lift the machine without the use of proper lifting
equipment).
4.3. Clean those surfaces coated in rust protection with kerosene or diesel oil. DO NOT use cellulose based solvents such as paint or lacquer
thinners as these will damage the paintwork.
4.4. ATTACH WHEELS
4.4.1. Place sound, suitable blocking under both ends of the saw base to support the unit whilst the wheels are being installed. Use proper
lifting equipment to do this and ensure that the saw remains stable whilst supported.
4.4.2. Slide a wheel onto the end of each axle and retain with the circlips provided. Slide the axles through each end of the saw base until they
protrude from the other side. Slide the remaining wheels onto the axles and retain with circlips. Push the red plastic covers provided
onto each wheel moulding as indicated in fig.1J.
4.5. ATTACH DAmpER CYLINDER
4.5.1. Screw the threaded end of the cylinder support rod into the tapped hole in the machine bed (see fig.1C) and tighten it using a 17mm
spanner applied to the hex section. Slide the damper cylinder assembly onto the rod in the correct orientation as shown in fig.1 (with
valve controls upwards) and screw the 14mm retaining nut into position on the end of the rod (fig.1D). Insert the stepped hinge pin
(fig.1E) through the hole in the end of the piston and swing the cylinder upwards towards the cylinder bracket attached to the main arm.
In order to screw the hinge pin into the bracket it may be necessary to depress the piston. Alternatively get a second person to raise
and support the arm until the hinge pin is aligned with the hole in the bracket. Tighten the hinge pin with a 14mm spanner.
4.6. ATTACH STOCK STOp
4.6.1. Insert the threaded end of the Stock Stop Rod (fig.1A) through the hole in the machine bed adjacent to the damper cylinder and retain it
by fixing a bolt and washer on the inside of the bed. Push the stop onto the rod. Retain it by tightening the hex socket set screw (fig.1B).
5. SET Up & ADjUSTmENTS
5.1. COOLANT TANK pREpARATION
5.1.1. The use of a water soluble coolant will increase cutting efficiency and prolong blade life.
5.1.2. Five litres of soluble cutting oil can be ordered under Sealey Part No. SCO5L (follow
instructions on pack regarding use and precautions). The coolant tank is situated in the base
of the machine and can be accessed through an opening in the back of the base.
5.1.3. Disconnect the machine from the power supply before adding/changing coolant.
5.1.4. Pull the coolant return hose from out of the hole in the top of the tank cover.

5.3. HYDRAULIC FEED SELECTOR OpERATION.
5.3.1. The rate of descent of the main cutting arm is controlled by the
damping cylinder seen in fig.1. By turning the knob ‘F’ in fig.1
clockwise the rate of descent is slowed down. By turning the knob
anticlockwise the rate of descent is increased. The arm can be locked
in any position by turning the hydraulic flow off using tap ‘G’
in fig.1. When the tap is at 90° to the cylinder the flow is off and the arm
will stop moving.
5.4. VICE SET Up & ADjUSTmENT.
5.4.1. The vice has two adjustment positions. One specifically set at 90°
degrees to the blade (see fig.3) and the other for variable angle
cutting (see fig.4).
5.4.2. For a non angled cut the vice should be set up as shown in fig.3.
Loosen pivot bolt ‘J’ and locking nut ‘B’ and adjust the vice face to be
90° to the blade by laying a set square onto the machine bed
as shown in fig.5. Tighten pivot bolt ‘J’ and locking nut ‘B.
5.4.3. When locking bolt ‘F’ is loosened the distance between the vice faces
can be adjusted by winding handle ‘G’. Adjust the position of the stock stop ‘E’ as required. Lay the material to be cut into the
vice and wind handle ‘G’ until the material is firmly clamped between the vice faces. Tighten locking bolt ‘F’.
fig.5
5.4.4. To change the set up to an angled cut the vice should be configured as shown in fig.4. Remove locking nut ‘B’ and its associated bolt
from straight slot ‘A’ and reassemble them into the curved slot ‘C’. Referring back to fig.3 move the pivot bolt ‘J’ to position ‘K’ on the
bed. The vice face will now pivot around bolt ‘J’. Set the vice face to the desired angle using an adjustable square and lock it at the set
position with nut ‘B’ as shown in fig.4. Lay the material to be cut into the vice and wind handle ‘G’ until the material is firmly clamped
between the vice faces. Tighten locking bolt ‘F’.
5.5. ADjUSTING BOW WEIGHT.
5.5.1. Bow weight is one of the most important adjustments on the saw. Incorrect bow weight can result in poor performance including
crooked cuts, tooth stripping, stalling and the blade coming off the blade wheels. The hydraulic feed rate unit will not compensate for
improper bow weight. Bow weight is factory set and should not normally require adjustment.
