• 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.

7. Assembly

Caution!
Pull out the power plug before carrying out any maintenance, resetting or assembly
Attention!
work on the bandsaw!
7.1. Mounting the saw table (Fig. 3 – 5)
• Remove the web panel (4).
• Place the saw table (15) on the machine housing (25) from the right and fasten with 3 fixing
screws (27). Make sure that the blade (26) is positioned exactly in the center of the saw table.
• Re-insert the web panel (4).
• Insert the plastic table insert (17) into the table from above. Do this in such a way that a through-
going slot is the result.
• To dismantle the saw table, proceed in reverse order.

7.2. Tensioning the blade (Figure 1/6)

• CAUTION! Remove the tension from the blade if the bandsaw is not going to be used for some
time. Be sure to re-tension the blade before you start the machine.
• Turn the tightening screw (9) for tensioning the blade (26) in a clockwise direction.
• The correct blade tension can be checked by applying pressure to the side of the blade with your
finger, somewhere in the middle between the two blade pulleys (7 + 8). You should only be able
to bend the blade (26) very slightly (approx. 1–2 mm).
• CAUTION! The blade may break if the tension is too high. BEWARE OF INJURY! If the tension is
too low, the powered blade pulley (7) will spin while the blade does not move.

7.3. Adjusting the blade

• CAUTION! The blade tension has to be set correctly before you can adjust the blade.
• Undo the fasteners (13) and open the side cover (12).
• Slowly turn the upper blade pulley (8) clockwise by hand. The blade (26) should run in the mid-
dle of the pulley. If it does not, you will have to adjust the tilt of the upper blade pulley (8).
• If the blade (26) tends to run to the back of the blade pulley (8), i.e. towards the machine
frame (25), turn the setting screw (22) anti-clockwise while turning the blade pulley (8) by hand
until the blade (26) runs in the middle.
• If the blade (26) tends to run to the front edge of the blade pulley (8), turn the setting screw (22)
in a clockwise direction.
• After setting the upper blade pulley (8) you need to check the blade (26) position on the lower
blade pulley (7). The blade (26) should run in the middle of the blade pulley (7), as above. If it
does not, you will have to adjust the tilt of the upper blade pulley (8) again.
