1.11 MACHINE DESCRIPTION The bandsaw is made up of two main parts: the machine body (5) complete with motor and drive system (7) which is joined, by means of a swivel support (9), to the bottom section, made up of a base (13) and vise (11). 2. INSTALLATION 2.1. CONTENTS OF THE PACKAGING • 1 bandsaw / handles and hardware • 1 Stock stop assembly • User Manual 2.2. REMOVING THE PACKAGING Remove the box used to protect the machine during transport.
LIES COMPLETELY ON THE GROUND AND IS NOT AT ANY POINT RAISED IN THE AIR. Specific characteristics of the electrical system DANGER - WARNING THE SAW'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS FITTED WITH A DEVICE WHICH AUTOMATICALLY OPENS THE CIRCUIT IF THE VOLTAGE DROPS BELOW A MINIMUM SET LIMIT AND INHIBITS AUTOMATIC RESET OF OPERATING CONDITIONS WHEN THE VOLTAGE RETURNS TO THE SET RATED LEVELS. - SHOULD THE MACHINE SUDDENLY CUT OUT THERE IS NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
To adjust the cutting angle, proceed as follows: a) Loosen the locking knobs b) turn the swivel support using the handgrip; c) stop rotation when the pointer is aligned with the selected position on the graduated scale on the base; d) Lock the swivel support by tightening knobs. 3.3. ADJUSTING THE SLIDING BLADE GUIDE POSITION DANGER - CAUTION PERFORM ADJUSTMENT OPERATIONS WHENEVER YOU PREPARE A WORK PROCESS a) Loosen knob that is locking blade guide.
4. OPERATIONS DANGER - WARNING THE MACHINE IS EQUIPED WITH A MAIN POWER SWITCH (located on control box 8) TO BE ACTIVATED BEFORE THE WORK OPERATION. ONCE WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED, TURN OFF THE MAIN POWER SWITCH. DANGER - CAUTION • Never wear gloves while operating saw. • Before making a new cut, always remove the cut part left from the previous cut. • Keep hands well away from the cutting area.
NOTES The cutting head must be raised to the maximum up position then brought down to un-lock the head lock feature. Do not force the head down as this may damage the saw. 4.2 USE AS AN AUTONOMOUS CUTTING SAW a) Secure the workpiece to be cut in the vise using the vise adjusting screw (12) or quick release lever (14). Set your cutting pressure as described above. b) With the cutting head at its maximum height carefully lower the cutting head until the blade is approx. ¼” above the workpiece.
NOTES The characteristics of the blade must be compatible with the technical specifications. The SE-5X6 RCT has reverse cutting technology and the teeth of the blade points forward and rotates toward the front of the saw. If the blade is not welded for reverse cutting technology, a standard blade that is reversed and inside out will also work. CAUTION must be taken when reversing the blade and is not recommended for safety.
