MAINTENANCE OF THE SAW BLADE

 

CARE AND STORAGE

 

• The saw blade must be adjusted so that it is within the guide bearings and in the centre of the guide wheel peripheral lining. Under no circumstances must the teeth of the saw blade go over the edge of the wheel lining. If this occurs, the saw blade will deform and crack

• The distance between the rear edge of the saw band and the bearing guide wall should be 1 mm when the BANDER 300 is running at idle. The rear edge of the saw blade should contact the bearing guide wall only when cutting. Otherwise, the rear edge of the saw blade and the guide bearings overheat, resulting in fatigue of the guide bearing material and saw blade cracks

• If the BANDER 300 is not used for a long period of time, it is recommended to loosen the tension on the saw blade, both to prevent uneven deformation of the guide wheel lining and because the saw blade heats up during cutting or at high ambient temperatures and shrinks when the temperature drops. If the saw blade is tightly tensioned during cutting, it will become unduly tight when it cools down and may break prematurely

• Always use a sharp saw blade to achieve a good quality and clean cut.

1. Cutting dry and hard wood: saw blade 1710 x 6 x 0,65; 6 TpI
2. Cutting wet and dry wood for narrow curves: saw blade 1710 x 6 x 0,65; 4 TpI
3. Universally for cutting dry and wet wood, curves, longitudinal and transverse cuts: 1710 x 8 x 0.65; 4 TpI
