•
Check that the voltage on the rating plate is
the same as your supply voltage before you
connect the machine to the power supply.
Warning! Pull out the power plug before doing
any maintenance or assembly work on the equip-
ment.
Caution! Wear safety gloves when contact with
the blade (26) is likely.
5.1 Assembly (Fig. 1-4)
Warning! Make allowance for the weight of the
machine during the assembly work and arrange
for another person to help!
•
Fit the 4 rubber feet (4) to the corners of the
pedestal (5).
•
Use the hexagon screws (48), washers (49)
and nuts (50) to fasten the rubber feet (4)
(see Fig. 2).
•
Push the tilt guard (27) into the recesses
on the rear of the pedestal (5) and secure
it using the recessed head screws (51),
washers (52) and spring washers (53) (See
Fig. 3).
Fitting the saw table (Fig. 4)
•
Remove the web plate (22) by undoing the
wing nuts (55) and holding the countersunk
head screws (54) steady with the hex key
(28).
•
Guide the saw table (15) from the rear of the
machine with the recess past the blade (26)
onto the saw table mount (14).
•
Use the wing handle (18) and the washer (19)
to secure the saw table (15) on the saw table
mount (14).
•
Use the quick-lock lever (20) and the washer
(19) to secure the saw table (15) on the saw
table mount (14).
•
Refit the web plate (22) on the saw table (15).
•
To dismantle, proceed in reverse order.
5.2 Tensioning the bandsaw blade (Fig. 1/5)
•
Important! You must remove the tension
from the blade when the bandsaw is not go-
ing to be used for some time. It is important
therefore to check the blade tension before
you switch on the saw.
•
To be able to check the blade tension, open
the two side covers (12) by slackening the
fastening handles (13).
•
The correct blade tension can be tested by
applying pressure to the side of the blade
with your finger, somewhere in the middle
between the two blade pulleys (7, 8). You

GB
should be able to bend the blade (26) only
very slightly (approx. 1-2 mm).
•
When the blade is tensioned enough, it will
produce a metallic sound when tapped.
•
Turn the tightening screw (9) clockwise to ten-
sion the blade (26).
•
After you have adjusted the blade tension,
check the blade's running position on the two
blade pulleys (7, 8). Adjust the blade if neces-
sary (see 5.3).
•
Close the two side covers (12). Push the side
cover against the machine frame (25) as far
as it will go. The side cover must latch home
with an audible click. Screw the fastening
handle (13) tight with the side cover (12) held
in pressed position.
•
Important! Slacken the blade when you do
not want to use it for some time; this will pre-
vent it from overstretching. Turn the tightening
screw (9) approx. 3 turns counter-clockwise in
order to slacken the blade (26).
•
Warning! The blade might break if the tensi-
on is too high.
•
Warning! If the tension is too low, the pow-
ered blade pulley (7) will simply spin without
the blade moving.
5.3 Adjusting the bandsaw blade (Fig. 1/6)
•
Important! Before the blade can be adjus-
ted, it must be properly tensioned (see 5.2).
•
Open the two side covers (12) by slackening
the fastening handles (13).
•
Turn the upper blade pulley (8) slowly by hand
in clockwise direction until the blade (26) has
settled in a certain position.
•
When tensioned, the blade (26) should rest
on the rubber tire (3) such that it cannot slip
off the rubber tire.
•
Please note as a general rule: The rubber tire
(3) has an outwardly curved shape, i.e. it is
highest at the middle and becomes lower to
the front and to the back. The blade should
always be guided on the saw plate and not on
the teeth. The setting of the teeth is not allo-
wed to be damaged!
•
For narrow blades we recommend positioning
the blade (26) centrally on the rubber tire.
The narrower the blade, the smaller the teeth,
which in turn means that the teeth setting is
also smaller and more sensitive.
•
For wide blades with large teeth we recom-
mend: The blade (26) should rest on the rub-
ber tire (3) without the blade's teeth touching
the tire! The teeth of the blade (26) should
project beyond the rubber tire (3). If not, the
