Unpacking
• Carefully unpack and inspect your product. Fully familiarise
yourself with all features of the tool.
• If any parts are damaged or missing, return to your retailer
and have them replaced.
Assembly
WARNING: To prevent personal injury, ALWAYS disconnect the
plug from power source BEFORE assembling parts, making
adjustments, or changing blades.
Attaching saw table
• Fig 1: Remove the table aligning screw and wing nut (6) from
the edge of the work table (15).
• Fig 1a: Remove the spring-loaded hex screw (B) from the
handle shaft (16) to release the crank (A) from the table lock
handle.
• Slide the work table onto the lower blade housing (8) by
passing the blade through the blade slot (E) in the work table.
Make sure the raised mounting rib (D) on the side of the
lower blade housing engages with the recessed groove on
the trunnion bracket (18) of the work table.
To secure the table
• Slide the flat washer over the threaded end of the crank (A).
Insert the threaded end of the crank through the curved slot
on the trunnion bracket and into the threaded hole (c-Fig 2)
above the raised mounting rib on the lower blade housing.
Tighten the screw until the mounting rib fully engages with
the recessed groove on the trunnion bracket.
• Engage the handle shaft with the crank and fasten with the
spring-loaded hex screw (B).
• The table lock handle (16) engages when the crank is pulled
6
back towards the spring-loaded hex screw head to lock/
unlock the work table (15).
• Replace the aligning screw and wing nut (6) (see Fig 1).
• If necessary, adjust the angle guide (17) to reflect actual
table tilt position in degrees.
Mounting bandsaw to work stand
WARNING: ALWAYS make sure your bandsaw is securely
mounted to a work bench or an approved work stand. Motor
vibration, weight on the work table and other factors may
cause the bandsaw to tip over, slide or walk along the work
stand surface during operation. Failure to do so could result
in an accident, resulting in possible serious personal
injury.
• The bandsaw must be securely fastened by the four base
holes to a work stand or workbench with heavy duty
fasteners (not included). This prevents the bandsaw from
tipping over, sliding or walking/creeping along the work
stand/workbench surface during operation.
Replacing the blade
• Unscrew the upper (2) and lower cover knobs (7) of the
hinged housing cover (see Fig 3).
• Loosen the blade guard adjusting knob (14) and position the
blade guard (3) half way above the table (see Fig 3a). Tighten
the blade guard adjusting knob (14).
• Loosen the two blade guard mounting screws (G) (Fig 3A)
with the hex key and remove the blade guard (3).
• Remove the table aligning screw (6) from the work table.
• Turn the tension knob (12) anti-clockwise to release blade
tension and remove the old blade.
• Slide the old blade off the upper and lower blade wheels (F)
and through the table slot.
• Guide the new blade through the table slot (E) and on to the
blade wheels (F) so that the teeth are pointing toward the
table slot and downwards towards the work table
(See Fig. 5).
• Centre the blade on the soft, non-slip surface of the upper
and lower blade wheels (F).
• Rotate the wheels clockwise to help guide and centre the
blade on the blade wheels.
Blade tension
• When the blade is centred on the upper and lower blade
wheels (F), turn the blade tension adjustment knob (12)
clockwise until the spring begins to compress.
• Continue tightening until the blade is tight on the upper and
lower blade wheels.
• Ensure the blade is tight so that it will not slip on the wheels,
but do not over-tighten.
Blade tracking
NOTE: Set the blade tension BEFORE making any tracking
adjustments. Check that the blade guides are not touching the
blade.
• By hand, turn the upper blade wheel clockwise and watch
the blade position on the surface of the wheel. If the blade
moves off centre, tracking adjustment is required.
• If the blade moves towards the OUTSIDE EDGE (H) of
the blade wheel, turn the tracking adjustment knob (13)
clockwise. Continue adjusting until the blade returns to and
remains in the centre of the blade wheel.
