General Instructions for 230v Machines (Continued) Routine Maintenance (Continued) Work Place/Environment. The machine is not designed for sub-aqua operation, do not use when or where it is liable to get wet. If the machine is being used outside, and it starts to rain (unusual though this would be in U.K.), cover it up or move it into the dry. If machine has got wet; dry it off as soon as possible, with a cloth or paper towel. Do not use 230Va.c.
Routine Maintenance Initial Assembly instructions (Continued) Daily Assembling the stand •Keep the machine clean •Check the saw blade for missing teeth and cracks in the fabric. •Spray oil the metal surfaces •Lightly oil the main rod of the vice and ease some oil into the locking lever housing. •Check the security of the bolts holding the machine to the stand. Monthly •Remove the fastening bolt from the drive belt and pulley cover, open and check the condition of the drive belt.
Operating instructions Mounting of the Machine Locate the 2 No. M8 bolts etc., put to hand. NOTE. Before lifting the bandsaw ensure that the transportation chain is secured. This will preclude the possibility of the head moving whilst you lift it into place. (See fig 9c) There are no hard and fast rules for using the metal cutting bandsaw. As a general guide the harder the material, the slower the blade speed and the feed rate, conversely for softer material.
Setting up the Machine The machine has been set up in the factory. If, however, you think the settings may have been moved due to a ’knock’ or whatever, proceed to set the machine up as follows:- ! Disconnect the machine from the mains supply. Remove the front cover by undoing the 5 off M4 caphead bolts, remove them and the shakeproof washers, place carefully aside. Clean the machine completely. Withdraw the blade guide assemblies to their furthest extremes, (leaving the maximum expanse of blade exposed.
Parts Identification and Description Machine Illustration of the Metal Cutting Bandsaw (Continued) Please read through the section entitled Identification and Description of Parts, so that you will be familiar with the terminology we will use in the manual, so that you can identify the parts quickly and easily.
Parts Identification and Description (Continued) Height preset (See fig 5) A large bolt threaded into the front part of the quadrant. It strikes against a lower protrusion on the main frame casting. Adjusting the height of the bolt will govern the depth of cut of the saw blade. The Off switch striker can then be adjusted to switch the saw off at this position if so required. As with the switch striker, the preset height bolt is held in position by a lock nut.

Parts Identification and Description (Continued) Drive belt tensioner (See fig8a) There is a bolt fitted through a hole bored and threaded in the front edge of the motor plate. Driving this bolt ‘down’ will cause it to ‘push’ against the main frame and force the motor plate to turn on its axle, forcing the gearbox and motor axle further apart and therefore tightening the belt. Once the belt is tensioned the bolt is held in position with a lock nut.
