Garrick BS260, Instruction Manual

WARNING! 

Ensure the blade teeth rotate in the correct direction 

(see the arrow on the flywheel safety guard—Fig.6) 

·

  Tighten the band by means of the special handwheel   

(3 Fig.10); 

· 

Close the flywheel safety guard and secure it with the 

special clamps. 

WARNING! 

Ensure that the microswitch located under the 

handwheel is pressed by the stop (1 fig.7) on the 

handwheel otherwise the machine will not function. 

The band is perfectly tensioned when the microswitch 

is pressed by the stop of the handwheel. If the 

flywheel safety guard is not properly closed the 

machine does not work because of the safety 

microswitch. (1 Fig.8) 

THIS OPERATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT WHEN 

THE MACHINE BOW IS IN STANDBY POSITION AND 

THE SAW BLADE IS AT A STANDSTILL. DISCONNECT 

THE MACHINE.

4.12 ADJUSTING THE FRONT BLADE GUIDE UNIT

WARNING! 

This adjustment must be repeated every time the 

section of the workpiece changes. 

To get the maximum accuracy and safety during the cut 

(i.e with a very small portion of blade not covered by the 

guard) the blade guide unit must be as possible to the 

piece to be cut. 

Release the blade guide arm by operating the piece to be cut.   

This way the arm will not make contact with the piece 

during its stroke; then retighten the arm. 

4.13 STOP THE SAW

To stop the saw band from rotating while operating simple 

release the handgrip control (1 Fig.1). 

The machine can also be brought to a stop by pushing the 

emergency (6 Fig.1). 

The machine can also be brought to a stop by turning the 

total switch (8 Fig.1) to position “OFF” (or “0” ). 

The machine can also stop when the cut I completed.
