1. Loosen the clamping screw 1 (fig. 12) and tilt the
table to the desired angle.
2.Read the degrees on the scale (2).
3.Tighten the clamping screw (1).
7.3.3. Operation with the diamond saw blade:
For stones, ceramics, glass and fiberglass (42" x
7
/ 64 "
x
1
/ 64 "). A diamond saw band must only be used in
combination with a correctly mounted liquid coolant
system. A liquid coolant kit is available by PROXXON
as an accessory, see also fig. 13. Don´t work with the
diamond saw blade without appropriate cooling.
Note:
For operation with a liquid coolant system we recom-
mend the installation of a Coolant collection tray 3 (fig.
13). This Coolant collection tray is available as an
accessory by PROXXON. To seal the screwing holes
put the band saw on a rubber plate and fasten it with
the wood screws.
Attention!
To install the liquid cooling system follow the enclosed
instructions exactly!
7.3.3.1. Notes on the coolant:
When working with coolant: Use only commercially
available, mineral or synthetic, water soluble coolants.
Concentration: 2 - 5%, depending on material.
Dispose of liquids after work according to instructions
from the manufacturer.
1. Switch the machine on.
2.Open the shut-off valve 1 (fig. 14) and adjust the
flow. Use enough coolant.
7.3.3.2. Working with a diamond saw blade
Caution!
Cutting of radii smaller than 15 mm is not possible
with the diamond saw band (fig. 15).
Do not use diamond saw blades for metal, plastic
materials or wood!
Note:
Only sufficient cooling of the diamond saw blade
ensures better and quicker cutting of glass and ceram-
ics and prolongs the lifetime of the diamond band.
1. Guide the work piece carefully and only with little
force.
2.Close the shut-off valve 1 (fig. 14) after finishing
work or during breaks.
8. Care and Maintenance:
8.1. Checking and adjusting lower blade guide
Warning: Disconnect the machine from the power source!
The machine is fitted with a saw blade
42“ x 13/64“ x 1/64“ from the factory.
5. Unscrew four socket head cap screws from the
housing 2 (fig. 1) and take the cover 1 off.
6.Check the fit of the saw blade in the lower band
guide 1 (fig. 16). The guide slot must be exactly
vertical.
7.Adjust the band guide (only if necessary!) after
loosening the clamping screw 2.
8. Tighten screw 2 and reinstall housing cover..
8.2. Changing the saw blade
Caution!
-Use only spare parts recommended for this MICRO
Band Saw. Follow the instructions that accompany
accessories. Use of improper spare parts may
cause hazards.
-Always pull the mains plug out when changing parts.
-Blade teeth are sharp! Use care when handling the
saw blade. Failure to comply may cause serious
injury.
1. Unscrew four socket head cap screws 2 (fig. 17)
and take the housing cover 1 off.
2.Unscrew the brass screw 1 (fig. 18).
3.Loosen the clamping screw 3 (fig. 17) for half a turn.
4. Turn the knob 4 until the saw blade can be
removed from the wheels 2 and 3 (fig. 18).
5. Insert the new saw blade into the sawing gap with
the non-toothed side forward and the teeth point-
ing downwards (towards the sawing table).
Note:
There is a possibility that the saw blade has ”turned
over”.
In such a case make sure to turn the saw blade back.
The teeth must point to the front and downwards.
When changing to a wider or narrower saw blade the
saw blade guide must be adjusted accordingly (see
”Checking and adjusting the blade width ”).
6.After changing the blade you always should check
tension of the saw band. See 6.2.4.
7.Turn the knob 4 (fig. 17) until the saw blade is light-
ly tensioned.
8. Tighten the clamping screw 3 (fig. 17) and reinstall
the brass screw 1 (fig. 18).
Caution!
Extreme tensioning can cause damage to the machine
and breaking of the saw blade.
9. Install the housing cover 1 (fig. 17) and fasten the
socket head cap screws 2.
Note:
The saw blade must not run sideways off the wheels.
You find further instructions in the chapter "6.2.4.
Adjusting tension of the saw blade" on page 9.
