INSTALLING A BLADE There are a variety of different types of bandsaw blades on the market to suit various cutting applications. Your results may vary based on usage, experience and personal preference. Ask your local tool dealer for suggestions for bandsaw blades in 0.035” (0,9 mm) thickness and 3/4” (19 mm) width x 93” (2360 mm) length. Note: Generally speaking, because one wheel height is somewhat adjustable (to allow for blade tensioning), a blade length variation of plus or minus 1/2” from the “ideal blade length” can be accommodated.

1. Lift the arm into the vertical position. Loosen the lock 2. Loosen the blade by turning the tensioning handle knob A and then push the guard down as shown. counterclockwise. Remove the two lock knobs B and open the blade cover.

12 MAKE SURE THE MACHINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORM- ING ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENTS.

ADJUSTING BLADE TENSION A properly tensioned blade is critical to obtaining maximum performance from any bandsaw. A properly tensioned blade will last longer and be much less likely to break prematurely. If the blade tension is too loose you will notice that the blade will have a tendency to drift or slip off-line when cutting and you will have more difficulty controlling your cuts. A blade that is tensioned too tightly will break prematurely. The following information can be used as a guideline or starting point to assist you in determining ideal blade tension.This bandsaw is equipped with a blade tension scale, which can be used as a reference for the ideal tension with various blade widths. To adjust the blade tension 1. Lower the arm into the horizontal posi- C tion. 2. Turn the handle A clockwise to ten- A sion the blade or counterclockwise to loosen. The white mark B shoud be cen- B tered in the shaded zone C of the tension indicator. 3. Make a test cut on a sample piece and if needed, re-adjust the blade tension. Note: To check the blade tension, apply gentle finger pressure on the blade side facing you. The blade should not move more than 0.004”. A

ADJUSTING BLADE TRACKING The upper wheel is aligned at the factory, but it may eventually be necessary to re-adjust the alignment after a long period of use or after maintenance. This potential misalignment can be corrected by adjusting the tilt of the upper wheel.

1. Shut off the hydraulic downfeed control valve and 2. Loosen the two bolts F with a 14 mm wrench. lift the arm into the vertical position. Loosen lock knob D and slide the blade guard down as shown. Remove the two lock knobs E and open the blade cover.

ADJUSTING THE BLADE GUIDES

The guide bearings K keep the blade from moving from side to side during the cutting and must be adjusted close to the blade (but not touching the blade) in order to ensure accurate cuts. The space between each guide bearing and the blade must not exceed 0.001”. If less space is left, the blade will get stuck or jammed between the bearings. Too much friction will cause blade to overheat and break. Note: Before adjusting the blade guides, make sure the blade is tensioned and tracking properly. Re-adjust the blade guides after each blade tension or tracking adjustment.

Note: The blade guides must remain at least 1/32” behind the blade teeth to prevent damage to the blade as shown E ADJUSTING THE BLADE GUARDS The blade guards should be adjusted based the dimensions of the workpiece. LEFT SIDE RIGHT SIDE To prevent the blade (which is flexible and which would not otherwise be supported) from slipping out of po- H sition during cutting, and to reduce risks of injuries, a I minimum amount of blade should be exposed. For a straight cut and to reduce the risk of twisting, loosen lock knobs I & J and position the blade guards G & H as close as possible to the workpiece, then retighten the lock knobs.

The bolt-down tab and anchor bolt A can be used to A help keep the machine immobilized by either lower- ing the bolt against the floor to act as another point of contact with the floor, or for permanent installations, by drilling into the floor and bolting the machine in place.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CHECKLIST BEFORE STARTING

VERIFY ALL CHECK POINTS BEFORE STARTING. FAILURE TO COMPLY CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES.

1. Make sure you and any assistants are wearing safe and appropriate workshop attire. 2. To reduce the risk of damage to the machine, as well as potential for personal injury, after initial set-up as well as before each use, make sure that everything is securely installed and that all fasteners and moving parts on this machine are locked in place before starting the machine. 3. Make sure to have on safety glasses as well as hearing or/and respiratory protection at all times when using the machine. 4. Check the level of coolant in the tank and fill it as necessary. The level should be between 3 liters (minimum) and 5 liters (maximum). 5. Use only recommended parts and accessories. The use of parts or accessories NOT recommended by GENERAL® INTERNATIONAL may result in a risk of injury or damage to the machine. 6. Be sure that adjusting wrenches, tools, drinks and other clutter are removed from the machine and/or the table surface before operating.

OPERATIONS STEP-BY-STEP

NEVER USE THE SAW WITHOUT ALL GUARDS AND COVERS IN PLACE BEFORE STARTING THE SAW. BE SURE THAT THE BLADE IS NOT ALREADY IN CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE.

For horizontal cuts 1. Raise the saw arm by the handle and lock it in position by shutting off the hydraulic downfeed control valve. 2. Trace the cutting line on your workpiece with a pencil and clamp the material firmly in the vise to ensure a straight cut through the material. Make sure the workpiece is properly secured in the vise. Refer to the chart below for proper stock placement in the vise. Note: Use the work stop to make repeat cuts to the same length.

3. Adjust the blade guards as close as possible to the workpiece. 4. Start the machine. 5. Allow the blade to come to full speed, then begin the cut by opening the hydraulic downfeed control valve and letting the head down slowly onto the workpiece. Re-adjust the cutting feed rate if needed. Note: Do not drop or force the head onto the workpiece. 6. Wait for the automatic shutdown of the saw before carefully removing the workpiece from the vise.

BURN DANGER: DO NOT USE BARE HANDS TO TOUCH THE WORKPIECE AT THE CUT LOCATION UNTIL IT HAS COOLED.

18 OPERATIONS STEP-BY-STEP (CONTINUED)

NEVER USE THE SAW WITHOUT ALL GUARDS AND COVERS IN PLACE. BEFORE STARTING THE SAW BE SURE THAT THE BLADE IS NOT ALREADY IN CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE.

For vertical cuts 1. Shut off the hydraulic downfeed control valve and lift the arm into the vertical position. 2. Make sure that the vertical table is securely installed so that it will adequately support the workpiece. 3. Adjust the blade guards as close as possible to the workpiece to minimize side-to-side blade movement. 4. Start the machine. Note: Don’t turn on the coolant pump. 5. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by hand. Keep your fingers away from the blade and always hold the workpiece securely against the table. 6. Stop the machine once finished. MAINTENANCE

MAKE SURE THE MACHINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORM- ING ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENTS.

CLEANING Cleaning the bandsaw is relatively easy. After using your bandsaw, sweep up and discard any excess metal and chips and debris. For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section. Daily: Monthly: • Check for loose mounting bolts • Inspect V-belt tension, damage, or wear • Check the blade for damage • Clean the vise screw with air compressed as shown and lubricate with an all-purpose oil. • Check for worn or damaged electrical wires • Check for any other unsafe conditions • Clean the metal blade brush

LUBRICATION 1. Periodically clean the filter and the recovery tray. Fill the tank with coolant so that the level of liquid coolant is between 3 and 5 liters. 2. Machine gears are mounted in an oil-bath. You don’t need to fill it up, except in case of gear box leak or overheating. 3. Change the oil once a year by replacing it with a 80W/90 oil as follows: A a. Remove bolts A with a 10 mm wrench and then remove the gear box cover to drain the gear box. B b. Reinstall the cover and then remove plug B. Fill the gear box with until it reaches the hole and then retighten the plug B.

19 MAKE SURE THE MACHINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORM- ING ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENTS.

CHANGING THE BELT & ALIGNING THE PULLEYS

A D

B C

TIP: CHECK THE TENSION BY PUSHING GENTLY THE BELT WITH YOUR FINGER. THE BELT SHOULD NOT MOVE MORE THAN 1/2”.

1. Lower the arm into the horizontal position and loosen the jam nut and bolt A with a 12 mm wrench. E 2. Loosen jam nuts B and bolts C with a 12 mm wrench until the motor base can be moved. 3. Open the pulley cover and change the belt. Note: if there is not enough slack to move the belt, loosen tension screws C as needed. 4. Place a straightedge on the two pulleys as shown D to verify their alignment. F 5. If the pulleys are not aligned, loosen the four bolts E and F located on the motor mounting plate, and then re-position the motor along the slotted mounting holes so that the pulleys are aligned. 6. With the pulleys aligned, retighten the four bolts E and F. 7. Retighten the two bolts C alternating one turn at a time until the belt is tensioned properly. Then secure the motor in position by tightening the jam nuts B and the jam nut and bolt A. 8. Close the pulley cover.
