Frequently Asked Questions - BS 125M Holzmann

How to change the saw blade?

Wear gloves. Turn the saw arm to the high position, remove the 6 cover screws, loosen the tension with button (9), remove the old blade. Install the new blade in the correct direction of the teeth, rotate the wheel to align it, then tighten the tension. Reassemble the cover.

How to adjust the cutting angle?

Loosen the clamping lever (4), turn the saw arm to the desired angle (0-60°), then retighten the lever.

What regular maintenance is necessary?

Clean the machine after each use. Lubricate the moving parts after 10 hours of use, then every 3 months. Adjust the guide rollers every month. Check the screws and blade condition before each operation.

What are the important safety precautions?

Always unplug the machine before any adjustment or maintenance. Wear gloves to handle the blade. Wait for the blade to completely stop before removing the workpiece. Do not use to cut materials other than those specified (metals).

Why does my machine not start?

Check the electrical connection, fuse, and power cord. If the cord is damaged, replace it. Make sure the machine is properly plugged in and the socket is powered.

How to adjust the blade tension?

4 ELECTRIC CONNECTION

The machine may be connected solely to a circuit with short circuit protection.

The power socket must match with the power plug off he machine. If it does not, let the power plug be adapted by a qualified electrician.

The power plug must be grounded/earthed.

If you are not sure, that all these prerequisites are fulfilled, let the power circuit, -plug and -socket be checked by a qualified electrician.

WARNING

Operating a non-grounded/earthed machine inhibits the risk of ELECTROCUTION!

-which may lead to severe injuries and even death!

5 OPERATION

ATTENTION

Prior to any checks or adjustments disconnect the machine from the power supply!

This prevents the risk of accidental start-up.

Before first use:

Remove the thin corrosion-prevention layer from the not-painted machine parts.

Do not use Nitrite-Solvents or other aggressive solvents. Do not use water.

The use of thinners, gasoline aggressive Chemicals or abrasives destroys the surface and leads to fastened corrosion later on.

Prior to every usage:

Check the machine for loose or missing screws, for damaged parts, check the condition of the saw blade

Assure yourself, that all tools etc.. apart from the workpiece itself are removed from the machine!

Perform a cut

Loosen the clamping lever(4) and swing the saw arm to the desired angle. Tighten the clamping lever again to fasten the saw arm in the chosen position.

Swing the saw arm into the upmost position.

Place the workpiece according to the desired cutting line and fix it with the vice

Loosen the saw blade guide (7) and move it approx. 2cm near the workpiece.

Für cutting workpieces of same length, adjust the workpiece stop (5) accordingly.

Now adjust the speed governor (3) to the desired feed rate.

Press the green button (2).

Take the feeding handle (1) and press the start button on it. Wait until the blade reaches its full speed.

Perform the cut. You should adjust the feed dependent from the material.

Stainless steel, bronze: very slow feed

Steel, brass: slow feed

Aluminium: moderate feed

WARNING

Wait until band stop and saw arm in upper position before removing the cut workpiece and/or placing a new workpiece into the vice.

INFORMATION

If you do not use anymore the band saw the same day, loosen the saw blade with the knob(9) a bit.

MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION

Don't clean or do maintenance on the machine while connected to the power supply:

Damages to machine and injuries might occur due to unintended switching on of the machine!

The machine requires barely no maintenance.

However, if malfunctions and defects occur, let them be serviced by trained persons only.

Clean your machine regularly after every usage—it prolongs the machines lifespan and is a prerequisite for a safe working environment.

Before first operation as well as later on every 100 operation hours you should lubricate al connecting part (if required, remove beforehand with a brush all swarfs and dust).

Check regularly the condition of the security stickers. Replace them if required..

Check regularly the condition of the guiding rollers of the saw blade. The good condition and perfect adjusting of the guiding rollers is essential for a smooth band saw transport and a clean cut.

Store the machine in a closed, dry location. Do not expose it to high levels of humidity.

Maintenance and servicing plan

Check for loose or lost screws	Prior to operation
Check for damages of any machine part	Prior to operation
Clean machine After operation
Lubricate all moving parts (esp. Gear box)	After first 10 operating hours, later every 3 months
Adjust guiding rollers Every month

Cleaning

Clean the machine from dust and metal swarfs with a wet cloth.

Apply a thin layer of corrosion protection onto the non-painted surfaces.

ADVICE

The usage of solvents, aggressive chemicals or abrasives damages the surface!

Saw blade change

ALWAYS WEAR SECURITY GLOVES WHEN TOUCHING THE SAW BLADE

Swing the saw arm entirely up.

Remove the 6 screws oft he saw arm cover and remove the cover.

Spin the blade wheel again and check, if the blade is running straight.

Mount the saw arm cover back.

Adjust guiding rollers

The band saw blade is guided by rollers (7)

The bearings of the rollers are factory-set.

If you notice bad cutting results due to instable band run, the rollers might be responsible for hat.

You can adjust the band run by loosening the tightening screws of the rollers and adjust the rollers.

Replace the bearings of the saw blade guide rollers at least once a year.
