The figures quoted are emission levels and are not necessarily safe working levels. Whilst there is a correlation between the emission and exposure levels,
this cannot be used reliably to determine whether or not further precautions are required. Factors that influence the actual level of exposure of the workforce
include the characteristics of the work room and the other sources of noise, etc., i.e. the number of machines and other adjacent processes. Also the
permissible exposure level can vary from country to country. This information, however, will enable the user of the machine to make a better evaluation of the
hazard and risk.

The table trunnion has 4 holes as shown in Fig 8.1 and the underside of Fig 8.1
the table has 4 corresponding threaded holes as shown in Fig 8.2. Place
the table onto the trunnion, taking care to pass the blade through the table
slot without damaging it.

Ensure the blade is centrally aligned with the blade slot.

Secure the table in place using 4 hex head socket screws,washers and
spring washers as shown in Fig 8.3. Do not fully tighten until the table is

aligned with the

Aligning the Table to the Blade Fig 8.2

For accurate cutting the table must be parallel to the bandsaw blade. Place
a straight edge along the blade as shown in Fig 8.4 then measure the
distance between the straight edge and the mitre fence slot in the table as
shown. When the distances are equal at the front and back of the mitre slot
the screws can be tightened fully.

Once tightened, check the alignment and re-adjust if necessary.

Positioning the Table at 90º to the Blade

Loosen the table locking lever as shown in Fig 8.5 and use the box wrench
to tilt the table to gain access to the underside.

8. Assembly
Place the M8 nut onto the M8 x 50 hex head bolt and attach to the Fig 8.6
underside of the table as shown in Fig 8.6. This bolt acts as a table stop to
ensure the table returns to the correct position when it is required to be at
90º to the blade. Table stop bolt
Set the stop bolt so that the table is 90º when in contact with the swivelling and nut
heel block. This is rotated out of the way of the stop bolt when you require
the table to be set beyond 0º on the angle scale of the trunnion.
Swivelling
Set the table at 90º to the blade using a square as shown in Fig 8.7. Secure heel block
it in place then adjust the screw so that it touches the top of the lower
band wheel box. Secure the screw in place by tightening the nut against the
table surface.

If necessary the angle scale pointer can now be adjusted to point to 0º as

shown in Fig 8.8 using a Phillips screwdriver. Fig 8.7
Installing the Rip Fence
Fit the rip fence rail to the table as shown in Fig 8.9 using the nuts and
washers supplied with the rail in the order shown in Fig 8.10.

8. Assembly
Ensure the rip fence rail is parallel to the table by measuring the Fig 8.11
distance between them at one end as shown in Fig 8.11 and ensure the
measurement is the same at the opposite end as shown in Fig 8.12.

Important: Ensure at this stage the table levelling pin is

installed as shown in Fig 8.13.

To ensure the height of the rail is parallel to the table lay a steel
i
rule on the table surface as shown in Fig 8.14 and measure the distance
between the rule and the rail.

Repeat this process at the opposite end of the table as shown in Fig 8.15, Fig 8.12
ensuring both measurements are equal.

Fitting the Fence Fig 8.16
Place the rip fence mount onto the rail as shown in Fig 8.16.

Slide the rip fence onto the mount as shown in Fig 8.17. Ensure the rip
fence is placed fully onto the mount and locates over the protrusion as
shown in Fig 8.18.

Secure the rip fence in place using the fence lock knob as shown in Fig
8.19. The fence and mount assembly is secured in place on the rail using the
position lock knob as shown in Fig 8.19.

The fence can also be fitted as shown in Fig 8.20. This position allows the
guides to move much further down to support the blade when cutting
thinner materials.

8. Assembly
The fence features a pad at each end as shown in Fig 8.21. This raises the Fig 8.21
fence from the table to minimise contact and improve travel of the fence
across the table and mitre slot.

The height of the fence should be parallel with the table as shown in
Fig 8.22. If adjustment is required, change the height of the rip fence rail as
previously described until the fence is positioned as shown.

Mounting the Rip Fence to the Right Hand Side of the Blade
To support work when cutting with the table tilted, the rip fence can be
placed to the right hand side of the blade.

Remove the rip fence from the mount. Fully unscrew the fence lock knob
and remove the knob assembly and T bar as shown in Fig 8.23. Re-fit to the
opposite side of the fence mount as shown in Fig 8.24.

Fit the new blade to the bandsaw, ensuring the teeth of the blade point
downwards and towards the front of the machine as shown in Fig 9.5.

Note: If the new blade is the same size and type as the old
blade, the blade tension and guide positions may not necessarily
need adjusting. Fig 9.3

9. Operation and Bandsawing Practice
Tensioning the Bandsaw Blade Fig 9.6
Re-engage the cam tension lever and if necessary adjust the tension knob
to apply the correct tension to the blade.

To check the tension of the blade, set the blade guides to their highest
position and apply a reasonable amount of pressure using a push stick.
A correctly tensioned blade will move approximately 4 mm as shown in
Fig 9.6. Do not overtighten the blade as shown in Fig 9.6 as this could
damage it.

The machine features a blade tension indicator as shown in Fig 9.7. This
gives an approximate guide to the tension required for a variety of blade
sizes.

Bandsaw blade tension can be subject to personal preferences and Fig 9.7
opinions vary on the best ways to measure the tension and of what the
correct tension should be. If the blade is cutting accurately then this is the
best indication that the tension (and overall machine setup) is correct. If
adjusting the blade tension does not correct a poorly performing blade, this
could indicate that the blade needs replacing.

If the machine is not in use for long periods, slacken the tension to avoid
placing unnecessary pressure on the blade and the bandsaw itself.

Tracking the Bandsaw Blade

A correctly tracked blade will sit centrally on the band wheels as shown in
Fig 9.8.

To aid tracking there is an inspection window on the side of the upper band
Fig 9.8
wheel box as shown in Fig 9.9 which allows the blade position to be seen.

The bandsaw is fitted with an electromagnetic brake to stop the machine Blade
within a set time when the stop button is depressed which in turn locks
the motor and band wheels until turning the machine on again. To be able Rubber

Fig 9.12
Setting the Blade Guides
Once the blade is installed, tensioned and tracked the guides must be set
correctly around it.

There are 2 sets of guides on the bandsaw, one above the table and one
below. Both sets comprise of a pair of guides on either side of the blade Side guide
and a rear guide. All guides are spring-loaded for easy adjustment.

The side guides should be positioned so they are just behind the blade
gullet. This will ensure the teeth do not catch on the guides during
operation. See Fig 9.12.

In addition, the side guides should also be positioned as close to the blade
as possible but without touching the blade. The guides should not be
touching the blade when the machine is running and not under load as Fig 9.13
constant contact will reduce the life span of the blade, See Fig 9.13. Side guides

The rear guide must also be placed as close as possible to the blade but not
be touching it, see Fig 9.14.

Replacing the Drive Belt i i

To replace the drive belt first remove the band saw blade following
section 9 on changing the bandsaw blade.

Slacken the two 16 mm hexagon bolts marked A & B in Fig 10.1. Using a
16 mm wrench turn the tensioning nut marked C Fig 10.1 anti-clockwise to
lower the motor which in turn slackens the belt.
If nuts A & B are slack but the motor doesn’t move when loosening the
adjusting nut C you may have to push on the drive belt between the two A B
pulleys. This has the effect of shortening the belt and will pull the motor
down towards the lower wheel.
Lift the belt off the motor pulley and drop it over the back onto the motor
shaft. This will allow enough slack for you to remove the lower band wheel.

Remove the hex head socket screw with a 6 mm hex wrench and take off
the washer from the lower band wheel hub, Fig 10.2. Carefully pull the
wheel from the shaft as shown in Fig 10.3 and remove the drive belt.

Before replacing the band wheel it is advisable to clean out any

build up of saw dust as access is much easier.
Fig 10.2
Place the new drive belt over the motor shaft at the rear of the motor
pulley. Replace the band wheel and secure using the washer and hexagon
i
head socket screw. At this point you may find that the spacer between the
two bearings has moved out of line so as you place the band wheel back
on the shaft you can place your finger in the bearing centre and re align the
spacer while re mounting. Through the cast holes in the lower band wheel
you can now place the drive belt back onto the pulley and onto the motor
pulley.

Tensioning the Drive Belt

Once the belt is mounted back on the pulleys you can re tension it by
turning the tensioning nut marked C, Fig 10.1 clockwise. Tension the belt
until there is about 6 mm/1/4” of movement at the centre point between
the two pulleys Fig 10.4. Then tighten the two hexagon bolts marked A &
B Fig 10.1 and re check the tension. Once this has been done you can now
replace the blade. Fig 10.3

Removing the blade before removing the table insert will

eliminate the risk of injury from the blade.

Push the table insert up and out from the underside of the table and fit the
new table inserti by pressing firmly down into place. Table insert

Cleaning the Table

Regular cleaning of the table will ensure optimum performance of the
machine. Remove all dust and resin using white spirit then coat the table
with Record Power CWA195 Silicone Spray. The silicone spray will repel dust
and resin, helping the timber to move freely on the table.

Only apply silicone spray if you are sure it will not affect any Fig 10.17
surface finish that will be applied to your project afterwards.

Mechanical Motor Brake

Check the function and effectiveness of the motor brake on a weekly basis.

Test the brake with the blade mounted and correctly tensioned. Allow the
machine to run up to full speed and then press the stop button on the
switch. The blade should come to a complete stop within 10 seconds of the
button being pressed.

If the brake does not bring the machine to a complete stop within 10
seconds, then the brake unit will require adjustment. The brake unit is
located at the rear of the motor behind the motor fan. To gain access to the
brake, first remove the three pozi pan head screws that secure the motor fan Fig 10.18
cover to the motor and remove the fan cover, Fig 10.17.

Locate the central locking plate in the centre of the motor fan. Loosen the 2
outer socket head cap screws and remove them completely from the locking
plate, Fig 10.18.

The brake can now be adjusted by turning the central screw in a clockwise
direction Fig 10.19 to increase the effectiveness of the brake. Check the air
gap between the brake components using a set of feeler gauges. Set the air
gap to 0.3 mm - 0.4 mm for optimum performance of the brake.

Fig 10.19

10. Maintenance
When the brake has been correctly adjusted, re-fit the two socket head Fig 10.20
screws to the central locking plate. Further slight adjustment of the locking
plate may be required so that the holes in the locking plate line up correctly
with the corresponding threaded holes in the motor fan, Fig 10.20.

Re-fit the fan cover to the motor and secure with the three pozi pan head
screws.

Expected life of the brake components is 100,000 start/stop cycles. If the

brake can no longer be adjusted to allow the machine to stop within the
required time, the brake unit should be replaced. If replacement parts are
needed, please contact Record Power Ltd or their representative in your
country for further assistance.

The machine must not be used if the mechanical brake does not function
correctly. Fig 10.21

Safety Devices Microswitch

The machine is fitted with various safety devices which should be checked
weekly to ensure that they function correctly.

The doors of the machine are fitted with interlocking micro-switches

designed to stop the machine if the doors are opened when the machine is
in use, Fig 10.21.

Testing of the micro-switches is best done without the blade fitted to the
machine.

To perform the test, first close both doors and start the machine. With the
machine running, open the upper door. The machine should stop as the
door is opened. If the machine fails to stop, the micro-switch may require
adjustment or cleaning in order for it to work correctly. If the micro-switch
is found to be faulty, then it must be replaced immediately with a direct
replacement part.

Repeat the same test with the lower door.

Finally, with the machine switched off, open both the upper and lower
doors, and attempt to start the machine. The machine should not start. If
the machine does start, the micro-switches may be faulty and should be
replaced immediately.

If either of the micro-switches is found to be faulty or defective, the machine

must not be used until suitable replacement parts have been fitted and
proved to be working correctly.
