BLADE CUTTING DIRECTION
- Press trigger switch (J) to start operation.
- If cutting pipe with thin walls, reduce the saw arm
descent rate by adjusting the flow control valve (A)
- Press the emergency push button (K) down to shut
off all functions. To release the emergency push
button rotate the mushroom shaped button (K)
clock-wise. The button will pop up and then the
cutting cycle can be restarted.
- In general, start cuts by slightly turning hydraulic flow
control valve (A) counter-clockwise from 2 to 3 to
control the saw arm descent rate. If the arm
descends too quickly, turn the hydraulic flow
regulation valve (B) clockwise all the way back to stop
its descent. A saw arm dropping too quickly can
cause the blade to stall on the work piece and the
machine will shut off. Push down on emergency
push button (K) to immediately stop all machine
functions.

B. Auto cutting operation
- Close the hydraulic flow control valve (A) by turning
the valve clockwise all the way to the end.
- Raise the saw arm.
- Lift the spring knob (S) to release the pin from its slot.
This will free the fork handle (C). Move the handle
to the auto position (C2). Lift the spring knob (S)
and secure its pin into its slot.
- Use manual/auto selector (D) to select auto.
- Select cutting speed by turning speed selector (F).
Turtle is low speed, rabbit is high speed, and ‘O’ is
neutral.
- Turn main connect switch (G) to the ON position.
Check that the indicator light (H) is on.
- Load work piece and clamp it properly.
- Press start/reset button (E) to start machine. Check
that the blade is running in the correct direction.
- Slightly pull the saw arm down to get rid of air
bubbles from the hydraulic cylinder.
- Adjust hydraulic flow control valve (A) by slightly
turning the valve counter-clockwise to let saw arm
descend and start cutting.
- Press the emergency push button (K) down to shut
off all functions. To release the emergency shut off
rotate emergency push button (K) clock-wise. The
button will pop up and then the cutting cycle can be
restarted.

4 ADVICE ON USING YOUR BANDSAW
4.1 Recommendations and advice for using the
machine
The machine has been designed to cut metal building
materials, with different shapes and profiles, used in
workshops, turner's shops and general mechanical
structural work,
Only one operator is needed to use the machine, that
must stand as shown in the picture.
- Before starting each cutting operation, ensure that
the part is firmly clamped in the vice and that the end
is suitably supported.
- These figures below show examples of suitable
clamping of different section bars, bearing in mind the
cutting capacities of the machine in order to achieve a
good efficiency and blade durability.
