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.
Check that the voltage on the rating plate is the
same as your supply voltage before you connect
the machine to the power supply.
7. Assembly
CAUTION!
Pull out the power plug before carrying out any
maintenance, resetting or assembly work on the
bandsaw!
7.1 Assembly of the sub-frame and wheels (Fig.
3-5/27)
First attach the legs (21) loosely to the base
plate (5) of the machine using 2 screws for each
leg. Use the round head M8x12 screws to do so.
Screw the 2 long struts (41) and the 2 short
struts (42) loosely to the legs (21). The doubled-
over part of the struts must be at the top.
Attach rubber feet to the legs (21).
Place the machine on the legs.
Align the entire base frame and tighten all
screws.
Screw the wheels (10) on the rear of the
machine to the legs (21) as shown in Fig. 4.
Screw the transport handle (44) to the rear of
the machine using 2 screws (49).
Fasten the holder (29) for the push stick (28) as
follows: Screw the lock nut onto the bolt (29)
and then screw this into the housing until the
push stick (28) can be hung up.
7.2 Assembling the saw table (Figures 6-9)
Slacken the wing nuts (45) on the underside of
the saw table (15) and remove the chain bar (2)
from the saw table.
Lead the blade through the slot (a) in the
machine table and place the machine table on
the table guide so that the clamping screw (47)
fits through the mounting (48).
Screw the saw table tight with the wing nut (18).
Place the chain bar (2) on the saw table (15) so
that the screw heads (50) slide into the guide
slots (51).
Check that the blade (25) runs freely and does
not touch the saw table.
To remove the saw blade guard, proceed in

reverse order.
7.3 Tensioning the blade (Figure 10)
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 (25) 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 (25) 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.

7.4 Adjusting the blade

CAUTION! The blade must be properly clamped
before the blade can be adjusted.
Undo the fasteners (13) and open the side cover
(12).
Turn the upper blade pulley (8) slowly in a
clockwise direction.
The blade (25) should run centrally on the blade
pulley (8).
If it does not, the angle at which the upper blade
pulley (8) tilts must be adjusted.
If the blade (25) runs more towards the rear of
the blade pulley (8), i.e. towards the machine
housing (24), the setting screw (22) must be
turned in an anticlockwise direction. Then turn
the blade pulley (8) slowly with the other hand to
check the position of the blade (25).
If the blade (25) runs towards the front edge of
the belt pulley (8), the setting screw (22) must
be turned in a clockwise direction.
After adjusting the upper blade pulley (8), check
the position of the blade (25) on the lower blade
pulley (7).
Again, the blade (25) should run in the middle of
the blade pulley (7). If it does not, the angle at
which the upper blade pulley (8) tilts must be
adjusted again.
The blade pulley must be turned several times
until the adjustment of the upper blade pulley (8)
has an effect on the position of the blade on the
lower blade pulley (7).
When adjustment has been completed, close
