Saws - 93762 (4.37 mb)

(See Figure H.) Turn on the Bandsaw. The Saw 2. Blade (82) is tracking properly when the back of the Blade is just touching the edge of the Blade Wheel (37) flange. The back of the Blade should not be rubbing against the flange. (See Figure P.) If adjustment is necessary, the Blade 3. Guide Bearings (88, 92, 100, 104) should be clear of the Saw Blade (82). (See Figure N.) HEX BOLT (21) LOWER SCREW (22) BLADE TENSIONADJUSTING KNOB(34) BLADE WHEEL(37) FIGURE O 4. Loosen the middle Hex Bolt (21) to a point where it is loose but snug. (See Figure O.) With the Bandsaw running, turn the 5. lower Screw (22) until the Saw Blade (82) is tracking properly, making sure Blade tension is maintained by turning the Blade Tension Adjusting Knob (34). (See Figure O.) Re-tighten the middle Hex Bolt (21) 6. when adjustment is complete. (See Figure O.) Adjusting The Blade Tension: BLADE TENSION ADJUSTING KNOB (34) BLADE WHEEL (37) BLADE WHEEL (54) SAWBLADE(82) BLADE BACK COVER (114) FIGURE P 1. Turn the Blade Tension Adjusting Knob (34) clockwise to increase tension on the Saw Blade (82). Turn the Blade Tension Adjusting Knob counterclockwise to decrease tension on the Saw Blade. Correct tension is acquired when the Saw Blade is just tight enough so that no slippage occurs between the Saw Blade and the Blade Wheels (37, 54). (See Figure P.) When the Bandsaw is not in use over 2. long periods of time, release the tension on the Saw Blade (82). Adjusting The Feed Rate: FIGURE QHANDLE(127) The feed rate of the Body Frame (60) can be adjusted by turning the Handle (127) clockwise to decrease the feed rate or counterclockwise to increase the feed rate. Do not turn the Handle more than one turn at a time. Excessive feed pressure can break the Saw Blade (82). Insufficient feed pressure dulls the Saw Blade rapidly. (See Figure Q.) Adjusting The Blade Guide Brackets: BLADE GUIDE BRACKETS(90, 102) GUIDE ADJUSTING KNOB (45) FIGURE R 1. The Right Blade Guide Bracket (90) and Left Blade Guide Bracket (102) are adjustable by loosening the Guide Adjusting Knob (45) and sliding the Brackets up or down to accommodate the depth of the workpiece. (See Figure R.) The Blade Guide Brackets (90, 102) 2. should be set as close as possible to the workpiece, without interfering with the workpiece or contacting the Machine Bed (142). (See Figure R.) Once the adjustment is made, make 3. sure to re-tighten the Guide Adjusting Knob (45). (See Figure R.) Basic Bandsaw Operation -- Vertical Position: 1. WARNING! Always wear ANSI- approved safety impact eye goggles when operating the Bandsaw. Do not plug the Power Cord Plug 2. into an electrical outlet until all necessary adjustments (as previously discussed in this manual) have been made. FIGURE SSAW BLADE(82) VERTICAL CUTTING PLATE (189) POWER SWITCH (164) BODY FRAME (60) SUPPORT PLATE (150) LOCKING PIN (153) 3. Raise the Body Frame (60) to its full vertical position, making sure it locks in place by turning the Support Plate (150) to the right until it firmly locks into the Body Frame and inserting the Locking Pin (153). (See Figure S.) Once all necessary adjustments to 4. the Bandsaw have been made, plug the Power Cord Plug into the nearest 120 volt, grounded, electrical outlet. Turn the Power Switch (164) to its 5. “ON” position. (See Figure S.) 6. CAUTION! Cut only flat workpieces when the Bandsaw is in its vertical position. Never attempt to cut pipes or other round objects with the Bandsaw in its vertical position. Before cutting, turn on the Bandsaw 7. and check for excessively loose Saw Blade (82) tension or machine vibration. If this is found, turn off the Bandsaw and correct the problem before using. (See Figure S.) Set the workpiece on the Vertical Cut8. ting Plate (189), making sure to keep downward pressure on the workpiece throughout the cutting process. (See Figure S.) When cutting a large workpiece, 9. make sure its entire length is properly supported. If necessary, use a roller stand (not included) with a larger workpiece. Allow the Saw Blade (82) to turn up 10. to full speed before feeding the workpiece into the Saw Blade. (See Figure S.) 11. WARNING! Keep hands and fingers safely away from the cutting area. Feed the workpiece into the Saw 12. Blade (82) gradually. Do not force the Bandsaw to remove material faster than it is designed to cut. (See Figure S.) Never attempt to remove mate13. rial stuck in the moving parts of the Bandsaw while it is plugged in and running. Turn off the Bandsaw if the workpiece is to be backed out of an uncompleted cut. Once the cut is made, turn the Power 14. Switch (164) to its “OFF” position. Then, unplug the Power Cord Plug from its electrical outlet. (See Figure S.) Wait until the Saw Blade (82) comes 15. to a complete stop. Then, remove the workpiece and scrap material from the Vertical Cutting Plate (189). (See Figure S.) Remove the Locking Pin (153) and 16. turn the Support Plate (150) to the left. Then, lower the Body Frame (60) to its horizontal posi...
