Vertical Bow Position

1. The band saw can be placed in vertical

position to facilitate blade changes,

maintenance, etc. Unscrew the knob (Figure

22) and slide it out to disengage the

hydraulic cylinder.

2. Raise the bow all the way.

3. The stop screw (Figure 23) has been pre-

set at the factory. If further adjustments are

needed, loosen the hex nut and rotate the

screw as needed. Re-tighten the hex nut.

Operation

Important: This band saw is designed for dry

cutting operations only.

General Operating Procedure:

1. Verify that all guards, covers, etc. are in

place and in working order, the blade is

tensioned properly, and the blade guides

are set correctly.

2. Position belt on the pulleys to achieve

desired speed. Close pulley guard when

finished.

3. Place workpiece in vise and tighten vise.

The workpiece should be fitted directly

between the jaws without adding other

objects.

When the workpiece to be cut is a profiled

section, flat piece or special shape, refer to

the examples shown in Figure 24 for proper

clamping positions. The top row shows

acceptable clamping positions, the bottom

row shows unacceptable positions.

If the thickness of the profiled section is very

thin, a piece which duplicates the profile

should be fitted inside the workpiece itself,

to prevent the workpiece being crushed

between the jaws.

Never hold a workpiece by

hand when cutting it – the workpiece should

be firmly secured in the vise. Do not reach

into the cutting area during cutting

operations.

4. Pull up the paddle switch to start blade

movement.
