4. Configuração e montagem
Before initial operation, the band saw requires assembly of its stand and proper installation of the blade and accessories.
4.1 Montagem do suporte
Carefully unpack all components. Assemble the stand according to the diagrams provided in the separate assembly instructions. Ensure all bolts and nuts are securely tightened. The stand provides a stable base for the band saw and includes wheels for easy repositioning.
Figure 4.1: The integrated wheels and handle allow for easy tilting and movement of the band saw.
4.2 Mounting the Band Saw Unit
Once the stand is assembled, carefully lift the band saw unit and secure it to the stand using the provided hardware. Ensure it is firmly attached and stable before proceeding.
4.3 Instalação e tensionamento das lâminas
Refer to the specific blade installation instructions for your model. Proper blade tension is crucial for accurate cuts and blade longevity. Adjust the blade tension knob until the blade is taut but not overly stressed.
4.4 Conexão da Extração de Poeira
The Scheppach Basa3 12 is equipped with a dust extraction port. Connect a suitable dust collection system or shop vacuum to this port to minimize sawdust accumulation and improve air quality during operation.

5. Instruções de operação
Familiarize-se com os controles e ajustes antes de fazer qualquer corte.
5.1 Ligar/Desligar
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 Operação de corte
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. Manutenção
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 Limpeza
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 Substituição da lâmina
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.
