made.
Caution: Ensure the blade is not pinched by rotating the
band saw wheel one or two times by hand.

Adjusting the rip fence
WARNING. Always ensure that the saw is switched off
and unplugged from the power supply before making any
adjustments.
The rip fence allows you to make parallel cuts in a sheet
of wood, all at the same width.
1. Adjust the rip fence (13) to the required width and
secure it in position using
the rip fence locking
handle (14).
2. The rip fence can be
positioned on both sides
of the blade
3. Ensure that the fence rests
against the wood along its
entire length to give a
consistent parallel cut.
It may be necessary to rotate the lever anti-clockwise
to be able to slide the rip fence over the table and
then clockwise before locking the lever over, so that the
rip fence is fully tightened in place.
