Lower the upper wheel using the blade tension handle on the top of the bandsaw and remove the cardboard packing.

Extension table fitted. Attach table with bolts but do not over tighten. Using a straight edge (as shown) move the extension so that it is leveled with the table. There are two small allen screws (allen wrench not provided) that can be adjusted to bring the table parallel to the main table. When parallel and leveled with the main table, tighten bolts. The action of tightening the bolts may move the table position so refinement in adjustment may be necessary.

REV. 1

Remove the locking nuts, washers and grease. Move the center nut as far as it can go towards the fence rail. Fit the locking nuts/washers to the two outside bolts from the underside of the table. Fit the fence to the rail and line it up with the miter slot. Adjust the nuts so that the fence is parallel with the miter slot. An easy way, is to fit a steel straight edge in the miter slot and adjust the nuts so that the fence contacts all along the straight edge. Tighten the nuts and re-check that the fence is parallel with the miter slot.

Check that the fence touches the table at one point only (see above) this will reduce friction when moving. If the fence is not as shown, loosen the nuts under the table. Move the rail up or down and retighten. Tighten the center bolt nuts. Care must be taken to tighten from both the underside of the table and the outside at the same time to avoid bending the rail and/or putting strain on the cast iron table.

Introduction Welcome to a new era in band sawing. You have purchased a bandsaw with a revolutionary blade guide system (patent pending) that is designed to give you many years of safe, high-quality band sawing. Most blade guide systems are designed to support the blade on the sides and either above or below the side guides to support the back of the blade. This can allow the blade to twist as pressure from the wood being cut pushes against the back blade guide. The surround guide eliminates this by supporting the blade above and below the back blade guide, giving the blade unsurpassed stability. The surround guide also incorporates patented ceramic as the blade support material. The advantage of this material is its ability to resist wear and , with care, should give you years of safe service. 1. As with the roller guide systems, the Surround Guide System will damage your bandsaw blade if it is not adjusted correctly. The guide blocks must not come in contact with the blade teeth., it is advised that you run the blade by hand with the guide blocks completely clear of the blade, and only when you are completely sure that the blade is running consistently in the correct position, then adjust the surround guide blocks as detailed in this manual. 2. When fitting a new blade to your bandsaw, adjust the guide blocks and run the blade by hand through the guide blocks for at least two complete revolutions. NOTE: the weld on the new blade may not be perfectly aligned and the misalignment could hit the ceramic blocks (side and back), causing damage to the blocks and/or the blade. If the blade has a bad weld, return it to your blade supplier, or side dress and file the rear edge as needed. 3. The back blade guide is manufactured from ceramic, so as the blade is pushed against it, friction between the blade and ceramic occurs. This action generates a certain amount of sparks. This is normal and will reduce as the back blade guide smoothes out the back of the blade. 4. The back blade guide will slowly form a small groove as the blade is used. It is recommended that for approximately every 8 hours of use the guide be rotated 15 degrees. This will insure that the groove does not become too deep and will greatly extend the life of the guide. 5. The Surround Guide System can be used on blades ¼” – ¾”.

REV. 1

6. The Surround Guide System uses ceramic to support and guide the blade. This has many advantages, (very poor conductor of heat, very resistant to wear, etc.). The disadvantage is that it is brittle, so the guides must never be dropped, exposed to hard knocks or hit with hard objects. Any of the above actions may cause the ceramic to chip or break and will detract from the performance of the surround guide system. Any mistreatment of the guide system will render the warranty null and void. The side guide blocks must be tightened before running the machine to avoid jamming the blade and damaging the machine and/or guide blocks. 7. When cutting gummy or green wood, the blade can become covered with resin. You will find that with the Surround Guide System the ceramic blocks remove the resin as the blade is moved through the guide blocks and keep your blade clean over that part of the blade. For this reason it is recommended that the blocks be adjusted close to the teeth of the blade but must not contact them as the ceramic will break or dull the teeth. 8. Be sure to release the blade tension when finished working or at night.

Blade Tensioning Procedure Remove the aluminum throat plate and wooden baffle. Move the upper and lower blade guides back so that they are NOT in contact with the blade. 1. Install blade onto both tires. a. If blade is narrower than ¾”, center blade on tires. b. If blades are ¾” or wider, install with blade teeth hanging over the tires. 2. Apply partial tension until blade stays on tires. 3. Look at upper wheel as thought it is a clock, at 9’O clock position, measure 3” down on the blade. Apply pressure using (1) finger to deflect blade towards frame of saw. a. Narrow blades: (up to 3/8” ) Blade deflects ¼” b. Medium blades: (1/2, ¾) Blade deflects 3/16” After setting the tension, then adjust tracking to maintain position on wheel assy using the tracking knob at the back of the bandsaw. Rotate wheels by hand before starting to ensure blade tracking/tension are correct.

View with the side guides removed. It is not necessary to remove the side guides when adjusting the upper or lower guide. Loosen the allen screw at the back (see next image) and adjust. To bring the back blade guide so that the blade is centered, move the back blade guide forward so that it loosens the lock screw (see image on page 20), it just touches the back of the blade. Tighten the lock screw.

REV. 1

Loosen the lock screw and move the guide assembly so that the ceramic blocks are positioned just behind the gullet of the blade. Nip the lock screw, unlock the guide shaft and move it down so that the guide touches the table. Adjust the guide so that it is parallel to the table. Move the guide shaft up and fully tighten the locking screw with the allen wrench as shown above.

REV. 1

Push one guide block so that both ceramic blocks just touch the blade, then tighten the lock bolt. Place a $ dollar bill or piece of paper of similar thickness between the guide block and the blade. Bring the other guide block in so that it touches the blade. Tighten the lock screw. Remove the $ dollar bill and rotate the wheel slowly by hand so that the blade completes two complete revolutions freely.

Re-fit the blade guard.

Loosen the back blade guide clamp screw and move the back blade guide back so that it is NOT in contact with the blade.

Loosen the clamp screws and move the guide forward so that the ceramic blocks are just behind the gullet of the blade and clamp in position. Make sure that when you clamp the guide it is squared with the blade.

Refit the wooden baffle. NOTE: the factory cut slot may need to be cut to suit the blade that you are using.

Re-fit the throat plate. The throat plate is provided with three leveling screws. To adjust it, flush with the tabletop. NOTE: the table is made of cast iron, which will move with time. This could mean that the throat plate has become tightened. If this occurs, rub the outside edge of the throat plate on fine Emery paper to reduce the outside diameter.

To open the door, loosen the clamp screws and move the blanking plate down.

NOTE: only a QUALIFIED electrician should connect the electricity supply to your machine (cable approximately 6 feet long). It has a green/yellow earth/ground wire. The blue and brown wires are 220V wires. Plug is not supplied and your electrician will have to fit a plug to suite your 220V outlet.

REV. 1

The upper guide post is factory set so that the blade guides run up and down parallel to the blade. If adjustment is required, adjustment screws are provided for forward, back, left and right.
