If faults are detected that cannot be rectified in
accordance with this operator’s manual, contact
your nearest authorised service representative.
Daily Maintenance
1. Check that nuts and screws are tight.
2. Height adjustment mechanism:
Clean both the screws and the guides. See
page 34.
3. Adjust the bandsaw blade tension. See page
21.
4. Check that the bandsaw blade’s cleaning
system works. If the cleaning fluid is depleted
on an ongoing basis, then the cleaning
system works.
5. Clean any sawdust from the bandsaw blade
guides.
6. Check that all safety devices are undamaged
and work. Check:
• Start/stop devices
• Electrical contacts
• Band wheel guards
• Safety switch for the band guards
• Rail stop
• Rail guards
• Belt guard
• Electrical cables and electrical connections
7. Set and sharpen the bandsaw blade as
required. When cutting timber with a normal
sand content and hardness, these actions
should be carried out after about 1 hour of

ling, etc are not included). See pages 30-32.

2. Clean the inside of the bandsaw’s cleaning
fluid tank.
3. Check cables and connections.

bearing damage. Replace the wheels if
needed. See page 18.
5. Adjust the play on the bearings that run
against the underside of the rails. See page
18.
6. Check the bolted joints on the rail sections.
See page 16.
