Fitting Blade To Sharpener
Dinasaw® Bandsaw Sharpener
BLADE FITTING:
The saw blade is held in position against the rear of the Sharpener by 4 magnets, while three flat magnets are fixed to the top of the adjustable support plate. (see Fig. 3)
These hold the back edge down. Three telescoping arms support the rest of the blade on 3 plastic guides. (see Fig 1)
Set the height of support plate so the bottom of the tooth gullets clear the top of rear plate by approximately 2-3mm, ensuring the support plate is parallel to the top of the grinder.
The telescoping blade supports must hold the return of the blade “comfortably” without trying to lift the blade off the support plate or push it too far out of shape. (See Fig. 4 &5)
Rusted, gummed or kinked blades will not travel smoothly and will have to be cleaned or repaired before sharpening.
The magnetic sensor switch sits on top of the support plate. Placing the magnet supplied on the inside face of the blade will stop the machine when the magnet presents next to the sensor. This switch is fragile so use care when fitting or removing blades.
