5.3 Dust connection

The machine is equipped with a dust port dia 100mm (B, Fig 15)
Before initial operation, the machine must be connected to a
dust extractor. The suction should switch on automatically
when the bandsaw is switched on.
The flow rate on the suction port must be 20m/sec.
Flexible hoses must be of non-flammable quality, and must be
connected to the machine ground system.

5.4 Starting operation

You can start the machine with the green on button. The red
button on the main switch stops the machine.

6. Machine operation

Correct working position:
In front of the machine standing in the direction of cutting.
Workpiece handling:
Hands placed flat on the workpiece outside the cutting area.
Feed the workpiece towards the saw blade in the direction of
the saw line, and cut as required by turning to follow the line
drawn. Push the workpiece steadily forward; complete the cut
as a single movement. Do not draw the workpiece back, as this
could cause the sawblade to run off its wheels.
Support long and wide workpieces with helping roller stands.
Operating hints:
Work only with a sharp and flawless sawblade.
Near the cutting area use a push stick to feed.
Use a feeding template to safely guide small and narrow
workpieces.
Use a suitable wedge to prevent round timber from turning
under the pressure of the cut
Workpiece setup:
Fig 15
Bring the upper blade guide to a distance of approx 2-5mm to
the workpiece. (See Fig 16).
For your own safety, always set the saw guide as close to the
workpiece as possible.
To adjust the cutting height release the winged nut (A, Fig 17)
and move the upper blade guide and guard assembly (B).
Blade Drift Compensation:
Blade drift is a frequent problem on rip cuts and during
resawing.
Blade drift may occur when the fence is being used, the blade
begins to wander off the cutting line (Fig 18).
