14.1 Operating notes

Perform all machine settings with the machine being disconnected from the power supply!

TAKE ATTENTION when cutting long workpieces without additional support! Hazard of machine damage and injuries through upbouncing workpiece. Therefore: always support long overhanging workpieces additionally

Let the engine run full speed when you begin to cut a work a workpiece

Loosen the lock with the quick-release lever. Swing the table to the angle adjustment knob to the desired angle. Fix the table with the table locking handle in front of the first section The desired angle is expediently to be checked by test cuts

14.2.2 Aligning the saw band / tilt adjustment

If the bandsaw blade is not running in the center on the rollers, is corrected by adjusting the inclination of the caster the position of the saw blade. Open the upper and lower rollers cover (Fig. A) Turn by hand slowly in the upper roller clockwise. The saw blade to run centered on the rubber pads of the caster. If this is not the case, the inclination angle of the upper Sägebandrolle must be corrected. Loosen the lock (Fig.B) using the rotary knob.

After setting and before switch on turn the upper wheel roll by hand a few times to see if the band saw runs out of the rollers. If this is the case, the blade must be aligned again.

Check the blade tension before any operation

Too much tension: The band saw blade can break Too less tension: The band saw blade can slip and stop

The ideal voltage is in the range between worktable and the upper saw band at about 2mm. If this is not the case, loosen or tighten the bandsaw blade as follows: Clamping by turning the knob clockwise. Relax by turning it counterclockwise.

Sawband guidance can be adjusted only after the sawband direction and the sawband tension has been proofed. Before you adjust the sawband guidance switch off the machine and wait until the sawband is standing completely still.

Upper blade guide The height of the guide must be adjusted prior to each work so that the saw band about 10 mm ends to the workpiece. The Locking knob loosen and adjust the appropriate level with the Adjusting knob and then secure again. Loosen the screw (A), and adjust guide bearing position, so that guide bearing is positioned 1or 2mm from teeth of blade. Retighten the bolt (A). Loosen the screw (B), and adjust trust bearing to a position of 0.5mm from rear of blade. Retighten the knob (B). Loosen the socket head screw (C), and adjust guide bearing to a position 0.5mm away from blade. Retighten the socket head screw (C).OPERATION HOLZMANN MASCHINEN GmbH www.holzmann-maschinen.at 40 HBS 230HQ Lower blade guide (Fig.l) The lower blade guide must be readjusted after each band saw blade change or tracking adjustment. Through the hole (B) and (E), use hex wrench to loosen socket bolts, adjust guide block (D) and thrust bearing (C) just like adjusting upper blade guide. Loosen the screw (A), and adjust the guide bearing to a position 0.5mm away from blade. Retighten the screw (A).

To use the miter gauge fence, slide it into the slot provided. To adjust the angle of the miter cut, loosen lock, move the miter gauge to the desired position (60 °) and fix him afterwards.

The push stick protects against contact with the saw band

The push stick must always be used when the distance between Band saw blade and and rip fence is less than 150mm. If the sliding floor is not used to deposit on the hook If damaged, the push stick must be immersed immediately

Put the workpiece securely on the table on Observe the workpiece from start to finish exactly Saw the section without interruption in a train Turn off the machine after work immediately

14.3.5 Connecting to dust collector

At an extraction suction can be connected. If this is not required, the wood chips collect in the loading below the lower tape roll. This dust drawer is to be emptied after use of the machine.

Don’t clean or do maintenance on the machine while it is still connected to the power supply: Damages to machine and injuries might occur due to unintended switching on of the machine! Therefore: Switch the machine off and disconnect it from the power supply be-fore any maintenance works or cleaning is carried out

The machine does not require extensive maintenance. If malfunctions and defects occur, let it be serviced by trained persons only. Before first operation as well as later on every 100 operation hours you should lubricate all con- necting parts (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 saw band and the saw band guide. The good condition and perfect adjustment of the guiding rollers is essential for a smooth band guidance and a clean cut. Store the machine in a closed, dry location. NOTICE Clean your machine regularly after every usage – it prolongs the machines lifespan and is a pre-requisite for a safe working environment. Repair jobs shall be performed by respectively trained professionals only!
