Attach the rule to the table with the fixings
supplied. Do not fully tighten the bolts, as the

suit the blade, which will be detailed later in the
manual.

6.5 Fitting the fence
1.
Fit the fence bar to the table with the screws
and spacers supplied.
Note
. The distance between the fixing holes and
the end of the bar is not symmetrical, and the end
that has the longest distance must be at the back
of the bandsaw (closest to the column).
2.
Slide the fence support onto the fence bar and
fit the fence support clamp screw.
3.
Slide the fence onto the clamping strip.
4.
Lift the fence just clear of the table and secure
it in position with the clamping screws.

The fence support and the fence are held off
the table with a nylon-support Allen screw. This
screw ensures that the fence and the fence
support do not damage the table. The screw is
adjustable to compensate for wear.
Note
. The fence clamp screw is shown
removed.

6.6 Fitting the table insert
The machine is supplied with a removable table
insert that is held in position with a screw. The
table insert is removed when blades are removed
or fitted to the machine. The insert is made of
soft aluminium so that if the blade wanders
and contacts the insert, there is less chance
of damaging the blade. Adjusting screws are
provided to adjust the insert vertically level with
the table. The insert comes factory set, but should
adjustment become necessary, place the insert
in the table with the screw fitted. Place a straight
edge across the table and insert and adjust the
screws so that the table insert is level with the top
of the table.

6.7 Fitting the optional light

The light is fitted to the top of the bandsaw as
shown. The light is supplied with a plug. The
cable must be held in position with the clips
provided and positioned so that the cable is
safe and will not in any way come close to the
blade or cabinet door.
Above is the suggested cable route. Use the
sticky cable clamps to secure the cable along
the top of the bandsaw. Ensure that the cable
is not over the vertical shaft hole, as it could be
damaged when the shaft exits the hole.
6.8 Connecting the bandsaw to the
electricity supply
The bandsaw is supplied pre-wired with a 230V /
16 Amp plug. To protect the electrical circuit, it is
recommended that the bandsaw be connected
to a 16-amp breaker with class C tripping
characteristic (16/1/C). Pressing the Start/Stop
button turns the motor on and off.
7. Testing the bandsaw
1. Close the doors.
2. Check that the red safety switch is in the fully
out position.
3. Check that the machine is clear of all tools and
other loose objects.
4. Check that all the adjusting and locking handles
are tight.
