5. Malangizo Ogwiritsira Ntchito
Familiarize yourself with the controls and adjustments before making any cuts.
5.1 Kuyatsa/Kuzimitsa
Locate the main power switch, typically a large red button for emergency stop and a green button for start. Ensure the work area is clear before starting the machine.
5.2 Adjusting Blade Guides
The blade guides (upper and lower) must be adjusted to be just clear of the blade, providing support without causing friction. This prevents blade deflection and ensures straight cuts.
5.3 Table Tilt Adjustment
The work table can be tilted for angled cuts. Loosen the locking mechanism beneath the table, adjust to the desired angle (up to 45 degrees), and then securely tighten the lock. The machine features continuous table adjustment.

5.4 Using the Rip Fence and Cross-cut Gauge
The rip fence is used for making straight, parallel cuts. Position it at the desired distance from the blade and lock it in place. The cross-cut gauge (miter gauge) is inserted into the table slot and used for making accurate cross-cuts and angled cuts across the width of the workpiece.
5.5 Ntchito yodula
Place the workpiece firmly on the table. Turn on the machine and allow the blade to reach full speed. Feed the workpiece slowly and steadily into the blade, applying even pressure. Always keep your hands away from the blade path and use a push stick when necessary.

6. Kusamalira
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your band saw. Always disconnect the machine from the power supply before performing any maintenance.
6.1 Kuyeretsa
After each use, clean the machine to remove sawdust and debris. Use a brush or vacuum cleaner. Do not use solvents that could damage painted surfaces or plastic components.
6.2 Kusintha kwa Blade
Blades will dull over time and need replacement. Follow the instructions for releasing blade tension, removing the old blade, and installing a new one. Ensure the new blade is correctly seated on the wheels and properly tensioned.
6.3 Belt and Pulley Inspection
Periodically inspect the drive belt and pulleys for wear or damage. A worn belt can lead to reduced power and inconsistent blade speed. Replace if necessary.
