On/Off Switch; Speed Controller - Triton TRBS12 Bedienungs- & Sicherheitsanweisung

OPERATION
• This machine is fitted with a saw blade
intended only for cutting wood and some
plastics. If planning to cut other materials fit a
saw blade specific for that purpose.
• Before operating, ensure that all safety
warnings contained within this manual are
read and understood.
• Any malfunctions, especially those effecting
the safety of the machine, must be repaired
before use.
• Always position the Saw Blade Guide Assembly
(17) as near to the workpiece as possible when
operating.
• For larger workpieces which cannot be
comfortably managed, ensure appropriate
work support devices are used (ie. Triton Multi-
Stands).
ADJUSTING THE UPPER SAW BLADE GUIDE
ASSEMBLY
The upper blade guide assembly should always
be adjusted just above the workpiece to restrict
any vertical movement during operation. Ensure
that it is not touching the workpiece. It can be set
to accommodate workpieces up to 160mm high.
• Rotate the Height
Adjustment Knob (16)
until the Blade Guide
Assembly (17) is just
above your workpiece.
You can also adjust the
height using the scales
on the side of the guide
assembly for reference.
Align the required scale
setting with the
underside of the wheel
housing.
• Once the height is
adjusted to the desired
position tighten the thumb-nut on the height
adjustment knob.
ON / OFF SWITCH
This bandsaw is fitted with a safety stop panel
which must be raised in order to switch the
machine on.
• Raise the stop button to release the clip at the
base of the panel and lift the panel to access
the green 'on' switch. The panel will lock in the
up position while switching on and must be
lowered before commencing operation of the
machine.
• Hit the large stop panel
to switch the unit off.

SPEED CONTROLLER

The speed can be set within the range of 370 to
750m/min and should be adjusted to suit the type
of material being cut.
• Lower speeds should be used for cutting
materials like aluminium, brass, copper, duro-
plastics and hard synthetic materials.
• Higher speeds should
be used for cutting
wood and similar
materials.
• With the bandsaw
switched on, rotate the
Speed Control Wheel
(28) to set the desired
speed. Rotating the wheel anti-clockwise will
increase the blade speed, and clockwise will
reduce the speed.
Never turn the speed controller when the
bandsaw is not running.
FENCE
The fence is used when
performing ripping
(longitudinal) cuts down
the length of a workpiece.
It can be used on the left,
or the right side of the
saw blade.
