Always read and understand all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

• Work Area Safety: Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
• Electrical Safety: Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces.
• Personal Safety: Always wear eye protection, hearing protection, and a dust mask when operating the bandsaw. Secure loose clothing, jewelry, and long hair. Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times.
• Power Tool Use and Care: Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
• Bandsaw Specific Safety: Ensure the blade is correctly tensioned and aligned before operation. Keep hands clear of the blade path. Use push sticks when cutting small pieces. Never remove cut material until the blade has come to a complete stop.

3. Setup

3.1 Unpacking and Assembly

1. Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Place the bandsaw on a stable, level workbench.
3. Attach the work table to the main unit, ensuring it is securely fastened and level.
4. Install the rip fence and miter gauge as per the diagrams in the full manual.

3.2 Blade Installation and Tensioning

The bandsaw typically comes with a blade pre-installed. However, for replacement or initial setup, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the power cord is disconnected.
2. Open the blade covers.
3. Carefully place the blade around the upper and lower wheels, ensuring the teeth point downwards towards the table.
4. Adjust the blade tensioning knob until the blade is taut but not overly stressed. Refer to the tension indicator if available.
5. Adjust the blade guides (both upper and lower) so they are close to, but not touching, the blade sides. The rear thrust bearing should be just behind the blade.
6. Close the blade covers securely.

3.3 Power Connection

Connect the bandsaw to a suitable 230 Volt power supply. If the power plug is not compatible with your local outlets (e.g., a UK plug), use an appropriate and certified adapter.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Operation

1. Ensure all safety precautions are observed.
2. Turn on the bandsaw using the power switch. Allow the blade to reach full speed before beginning a cut.
3. Gently feed the workpiece into the blade, applying steady, even pressure. Do not force the material.
4. Guide the material smoothly through the blade, following your marked line.
5. Once the cut is complete, turn off the bandsaw and wait for the blade to stop completely before removing the workpiece or offcuts.

4.2 Using the Rip Fence

The rip fence is used for making straight, parallel cuts. Adjust the fence to the desired width from the blade and secure it firmly.

4.3 Using the Miter Gauge

The miter gauge allows for accurate angled cuts. Insert the miter gauge into the slot on the work table, set the desired angle, and lock it in place. Use it to guide the workpiece for cross-cuts or angled cuts.

4.4 Bevel Cuts

The work table can be tilted to make bevel cuts. Loosen the table locking mechanism, adjust the table to the desired angle (up to 45 degrees), and re-secure the lock. Always perform a test cut on scrap material to verify the angle.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your bandsaw.

5.1 Cleaning

• Always disconnect the power before cleaning.
• Regularly clear sawdust and debris from the work table, blade area, and motor vents.
• Utilize the dust extraction port by connecting it to a suitable vacuum system to minimize airborne dust.

5.2 Blade Replacement

Replace dull or damaged blades promptly. Follow the blade installation steps in Section 3.2 in reverse to remove the old blade, then install the new one. Ensure the new blade is the correct size (1425 mm) and type for your application.

5.3 Blade Guide Adjustment

Periodically check and adjust the blade guides and thrust bearings to ensure they provide proper support without binding the blade. Incorrect adjustment can lead to poor cut quality and premature blade wear.
