The welded body, which is made of square tubes and shaped-steel, ensures enough stability.

The table, cast from grey-iron with webs on the back side of it making it have enough mechanical strength, can be tilted according to your requirement. A fence can also help you to work more easily and accurately.

The upper and lower saw wheels of spoke type are of grey iron, and both are supported by sealed bearings to prevent dust and to decrease noise level.

Two cloth-based saw-guides can limit the band saw always in the right way. The upper guide can be adjusted to suit wood thickness.

V. Transmission system The motor is mounted on the side surface and can be moved up and down for V-belt tension adjustment. The lower wheel is driven directly by the motor.

VI. Electrical system This machine is for used on 380V/50Hz, alternating current.

Grounding: In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding conductor. A plug with a grounding pin must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with green and yellow striped insulation is the electrical grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any four-pronged plug be removed. Serious injury may occur.

Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any plug be removed. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.

Check with a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only extension cords that have grounding type plugs and receptacles that accept the plug on the machine.

To prevent accident, the “off” button must be pushed when the machine doesn't work or after power interrupt.

VII. Handling and installation After being unpacked, the machine can be lifted directly through the two rings on its top. This machine should be installed on a flat and concrete ground to ensure working stability.

VIII. Operations 1. The saw band should be tensioned properly after finding abnormal band vibration or after replacing a new saw band.

2. There is an upper saw-wheel tilting device to adjust the parallel of two wheels.

3. The saw teeth should be located one tooth’s protrude to the edge of the wheel.

4. To get a smooth saw movement and to prevent saw vibration, the clearance between guides should be around 0.1-0.2mm.

5. The distance between rollers and saw band should be about 3-5mm. The upper guide should be located according to the thickness of the wood to be sawed.

6. After completing all the adjustment, turn the wheel by hand to test, then close the door, test run to be sure no any problem before operation.
