ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT
SAW BLADE TENSION (Fig. 1 - 6)
WARNING:
IF YOU DON'T USE THE BANDSAW FOR A LONG PERIOD, LOOSEN THE SAW BLADE.
REMEMBER TO CHECK SAW BLADE TENSION BEFORE USING THE MACHINE AGAIN.
WARNING:
IF SAW BLADE TENSION IS TOO TIGHTENED, IT CAN BREAK, WHILE IF IT IS TOO
LOOSEN, THE SAW BLADE CAN DROP OFF THE WHEEL AND STOP.
Note: Saw blade tensioning must be adjusted according to the different width of the blades, in order to
obtain a correct centering, a good performance and a suitable lifetime.
a.
Disconnnect the machine.
b.
In order to check saw blade tension (26) Fig.2, push the saw blade sideways, in the middle betweek the
workbench and the upper blade guide (11) Fig.1: the blade mustn't move more than 1-2 mm.
If necessary, correct saw blade tension:
- by turning saw blade tension adjustment knob (9) Fig.1 clockwise to tighten saw blade.
- by turning saw blade tension adjustment knob (9) Fig.1 anti-clockwise to loosen saw blade.
SAW BLADE ADJUSTMENT
WARNING:
BEFORE SAW BLADE ADJUSTMENT, MAKE SURE THAT SAW BLADE TENSION IS
CORRECT.
a.
Open the door (12) Fig.1 by turning the fasteners (13) Fig.1. with a suitable screwdriver.
b.
Turn slowly the upper saw blade wheel (8) Fig.1 clockwise. The blade must rotate in the middle of upper
and lower wheel rubber coatings (3) Fig.1. When the blade is not centered in the rubber coatings, saw blade
wheels angle must be adjusted. Knob (22) Fig.2 allows to modify upper wheel angle. By modifying wheel
angle, the blade rotates in the middle of wheel rubber coatings:
Rotate knob (22) Fig.2 clockwise to move the saw blade backwards.
Rotate knob (22) Fig.2 anticlockwise to move the saw blade forward.
It is necessary to rotate upper wheel repeatedly in order that upper wheel (8) Fig.1 adjustment makes the saw
blade change its position in the lower wheel (7) Fig.1.
After finishing this operation, lock the adjustment of upper wheel (8) Fig.1 angle by tightening the plastic locking
lever (14) Fig.2 located on the adjustment knob (22) Fig.2. Then, close the doors (12) Fig.1 by locking the
fastneres (13) Fig.1.
