Attachment; Assembly Tools - Parkside PBS 350 A1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Make sure the machine stands securely, i.e. bolt it to a work-
bench or solid base. There are two holes for this purpose in the
machine foot.
• The saw table must be mounted correctly.
• All covers and safety devices have to be properly fitted be-
fore the machine is switched on.
• It must be possible for the blade to run freely.
• When working with wood that has been processed before,
watch out for foreign bodies such as nails or screws etc.
• Before you actuate the On/Off switch, make sure that the
saw blade is correctly fitted and that the machine's moving
parts run smoothly.
• Before you connect the machine to the power supply, make
sure the data on the rating plate is the same as that for your
mains.

ATTENTION!
Before all maintenance, set-up and assembly work on the band
saw, unplug the mains plug.

Assembly tools

1 Open-ended spanner, size 10/13
1 Allen key, size 3
1 Allen key, size 4
1 Allen key, size 5
1 Screwdriver
The saw table is not assembled for packaging reasons.
9.1 Assembling the saw table (Fig. 2-4)
• Remove the wing nut (31), the locking handle (20), the two
washers and the clamping plate (32). (Fig. 2)
• Remove the two knurled nuts (33), the U-reinforcement (34)
and the two countersunk screws M6x16 from the saw table.
(Fig. 3)
• Guide the saw table (7) over the bandsaw blade (21). Fas-
ten it to the two screws on the machine frame with the plate
(32), the two washers, the wing nut (31) and the locking
handle (20). (Fig. 4)
• Fasten the U-reinforcement (34) to the front side of the saw
table with 2 countersunk screws M6x16 and 2 knurled nuts
(33). (Fig. 3)
9.2 Tensioning the saw band (Fig. 1a)
• ATTENTION! If the saw is at a standstill for an extended
period the saw band tension must be relieved, i.e. before
switching the saw on it is necessary to check the saw blade
tension.
• Turn the clamping screw (1) clockwise to tension the band-
saw blade (21). The correct tension of the saw band can be
determined by pressing the finger laterally against the saw
band, roughly centrally between the two saw band rollers
(2+8). The bandsaw blade (21) should only depress slightly
(approx. 1-2 mm) here.
• The sufficiently tensioned saw band makes a metallic sound
when tapped.
• Relieve the saw band tension if it is not in use for an extended
time, so that it does not become overstretched.
• ATTENTION! With high tension, the saw band may break.
RISK OF INJURY! If the tension is too low, the driven saw
band roller (8) may spin, resulting in the saw band coming
to a standstill.
9.3 Adjusting the saw band (Fig. 1a+1b)
• ATTENTION! Before it is possible to implement the saw
band setting, the saw band must be tensioned correctly.
• Open the side covers (11) by undoing the cover locking
mechanisms (10) with the help of the screwdriver (29).
• Slowly turn the saw band roller (2) clockwise. The bandsaw
blade (21) should run centrally on the saw band roller (2). If
this is not the case, the angle of the top saw band roller (2)
must be corrected.
• If the bandsaw blade (21) runs more towards the rear edge
of the saw band roller (2) then the set screw (14) must be
rotated anticlockwise.
• Open the locking screw for the top saw band roller (13).
• Turn the bottom saw band roller (8) slowly by hand, to check
the position of the bandsaw blade (21).
• If the bandsaw blade (21) runs more towards the front edge
of the saw band roller (2) then the set screw (14) must be
rotated clockwise.
• After setting the top saw band roller (2), check the position
of the bandsaw blade (21) on the bottom saw band roller
(8).
• The bandsaw blade (21) should also lie centrally on the saw
band roller (8) here. If this is not the case, the angle of the
top saw band roller (2) must be adjusted again.
• Turn the saw band roller a few times, until the adjustment of
the top saw band roller (2) acts on the saw band position on
the bottom saw band roller (8).
• Tighten the locking screw for the top saw band roller (13).
• Once adjustment is complete, close the side covers (11)
again and secure with the cover locking mechanisms (10)
with the help of the screwdriver (29).
9.4 Adjusting the saw band guide (Fig. 5 - 8)
• Both the support bearing (36 + 42) and the guide pins (37
+ 46) must be readjusted after every saw band change.
• Open the side covers (11) by undoing the cover locking
mechanisms (10) with the help of the screwdriver (29).
9.4.1 Top support bearing (36) (Fig. 5)
• Undo Allen screw for top support bearing (35).
• Move support bearing (36) sufficiently far that it just no long-
er touches the Bandsaw blade (21) (distance max. 0.5 mm).
• Retighten the Allen screw for the top support bearing (35).
9.4.2 Adjusting the bottom support bearing (42)
(Fig. 7)
• Disassemble the saw table as per 9.1 in the opposite direc-
tion.
• Undo Allen screw for bottom support bearing (41).
• Move bottom support bearing (42) sufficiently far that it just
no longer touches the bandsaw blade (21) (distance max.
0.5 mm).
• Retighten Allen screw for bottom support bearing (41).
