Upper blade guide adjustment
WARNING.
Always ensure that the saw is switched
off and unplugged from the power supply before making
any adjustments.
1. The upper blade guide (16) protects against unintentional
contact with the saw blade.
2. In order for the upper blade guide to provide adequate
protection against contact with the band saw blade (22),
it must always be set as close as possible against the
workpiece (maximum distance 3mm).
3. To adjust the height of the
upper blade guide, first
release the blade guide
height adjustment lock (18)
by turning approx. 1 turn in an
anti-clockwise direction, and
then rotate the blade guide
height adjustment knob (17).
Rotate in a clockwise direction
to move the blade guide up; rotate in an anti-clockwise
direction to move the blade guide down. After adjustment,
rotate the locking knob (18) in a clockwise direction.
4. The upper blade guide consists of a thrust bearing that
supports the band saw blade from the rear and two
guide pins that provide lateral support, these need to be
readjusted after every band saw blade change or tracking
adjustment.
Thrust bearing adjustment
1. To adjust the thrust bearing
loosen the thrust bearing
locking screw using the 3mm
hex key (32) supplied.
2. Adjust the thrust bearing
position until it is 0.5mm
away from the band saw
blade. When the band saw
blade is turned by hand it
should not make contact with the thrust bearing.
3. Tighten the thrust bearing locking screw.
