Aligning the saw table at right angles
to the bandsaw blade
1.
Raise upper blade guide fully (see
"Operation").
2.
Check bandsaw blade tension (see
"Initial Operation").
3.
Loosen locking screw (37).
4.
Using a try square, set the table at
right angles to the blade and tighten
the locking screw (37) again.

5.
Loosen locking nut (38) and adjust
limit stop screw (39) until it touches
the saw housing.

6.
Tighten locking nut.

Fence guide extrusion
installation
•
Fasten the fence guide extrusion
(40) with four each wing screws and
washers to the saw table.

7.5
Rip fence installation
The rip fence can be installed on either
side of the blade.
1.
Fasten the fence extrusion (41) with
two each
− pan-head screws,
− washers and
− knurled nuts
to the fence guide extrusion.
2.
Fasten the thus assembled rip fence
with
− a pan-head screw,
− a spacer and
− a wing nut
to the fence guide extrusion (42).

Rip fence adjustment
1.
Loosen the two small knurled nuts
(43) approx. one turn.
2.
With the large knurled thumb screw
(44) adjust the fence extrusion to be
at a right angle to the table top.
43

3.
Tighten the two small knurled nuts
(43) again.
Scale installation
•
Affix the self-adhesive scale (45)
with the "0" position in line with the
bandsaw blade. For exact alignment
set the rip fence against the blade.

Dust collector connec-
tion
Danger!
Dust of certain timber species
(e.g. oak, beech, and ash) can cause
cancer when inhaled: Always use a
dust
collector
enclosed spaces (air speed at the
saw's dust extraction port ≥ 20 m/s).
Caution!
41
Operation without a dust col-
lector is only possible:
− outdoors;
− for short-term operation
(up to max. 30 minutes);
− with dust respirator.
− If no dust collector is used chips
will accumulate, which need to be
removed periodically.
Connect dust collector or industrial vac-
uum with a suitable adaptor to the dust
extraction port.
7.7
Bandsaw blade tension-
ing
Danger!
Too much tension can cause
the bandsaw blade to break. Too little
tension can cause the driven band-
saw wheel to slip and the bandsaw
blade to stop.
1.
Raise upper blade guide fully (see
"Operation").
2.
Check tension by pushing with a fin-
ger, halfway between table and
upper blade guide, against the side
of the blade. The blade should flex
not more than 1-2 mm.
3.
Correct tension if necessary:
− turning the setting knob (46)
counter-clockwise increases the
blade tension.
− Turning the setting knob (46)
counter-clockwise reduces the
blade tension.
