Care And Maintenance; Changing The Saw Blade - Cocraft HB 10-L Bedienungsanleitung

Remember
• Make sure that the saw blade undamaged and is centred on the blade pulley wheels before
starting to saw.
• Feed the workpiece into the blade carefully making sure not to exert too much pressure.
• Hold the workpiece in both hands if you can or use a push stick if the workpiece is too small.
• Always keep your hands well away from the saw blade and think through the cut before starting.
• For the best results, use a sharp saw blade.
• Select the correct saw blade for the thickness of the workpiece and type of cut.
Thin and hard woods require finer toothed blades than thicker, softer woods.
• Tight radii require a narrower blade than straight cuts.
• Use the guide fence as support for straight cuts.
• Think about a cut before beginning to saw a workpiece, you might need to reposition the workpiece
or turn it over. Mark out the cut on both sides of the workpiece if necessary.
• Never twist the workpiece without it being pressed against the saw blade, otherwise the workpiece
can become stuck or the blade can bend.
• If the bandsaw will not be used for a long time. Release the blade tension using the quick-
tensioning handle.
• Always unplug the bandsaw before making any adjustments or repairs and whenever the saw
is not to be used.
