Clarke 6460141 CBS250C 250mm Bandsaw Stand F.A.Q.

How do I change the blade on the Clarke 6460141 CBS250C Bandsaw?

To change the blade, first ensure the bandsaw is unplugged. Open the blade guard and release the tension by turning the tension knob. Carefully remove the old blade from the wheels, and install the new blade, ensuring it is correctly aligned on the wheels and within the blade guides. Re-tension the blade and close the guard.

What is the correct method to adjust the blade tension?

Blade tension can be adjusted by using the tension knob located at the top of the bandsaw. Turn the knob clockwise to increase tension and counterclockwise to decrease it. Proper tension is achieved when the blade does not deflect more than 1/4 inch when pressed in the middle.

How do I align the bandsaw blade properly?

To align the blade, first ensure the blade is properly tensioned. Adjust the tracking knob located at the back of the upper wheel until the blade runs centrally on the wheel. Fine-tune the blade guides to ensure they are close to the blade without touching.

What maintenance is required for the Clarke 6460141 CBS250C Bandsaw?

Regular maintenance includes cleaning sawdust from the bandsaw, lubricating the moving parts, checking the blade for wear, and ensuring the blade is properly tensioned and aligned. Periodically inspect the wheel tires for wear and replace if necessary.

How can I troubleshoot if the bandsaw is not cutting straight?

If the bandsaw is not cutting straight, check the blade tension and alignment. Ensure the blade is sharp and the guides are properly adjusted. Also, verify that the workpiece is being fed evenly and that the table is perpendicular to the blade.

What should I do if the motor is not starting?

If the motor is not starting, check the power supply and ensure the saw is plugged in. Inspect the fuse or circuit breaker and reset if needed. If the issue persists, consult the user manual or contact Clarke customer support for further assistance.

How do I clean the Clarke 6460141 CBS250C Bandsaw?

To clean the bandsaw, first unplug it from the power source. Use a brush or vacuum to remove sawdust and debris from the interior and exterior surfaces. Wipe down the table with a damp cloth and ensure that the blade and guides are free of residue.

Can I use the bandsaw to cut metal?

The Clarke 6460141 CBS250C Bandsaw is primarily designed for cutting wood. Cutting metal requires a specific blade designed for metal and may require adjustments to speed settings, if available. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines before attempting to cut metal.

How do I properly store the bandsaw when not in use?

When storing the bandsaw, ensure it is unplugged, clean, and dry. Release the blade tension to prolong blade life. Cover the machine with a dust cover or cloth to protect it from dust and debris. Store it in a dry location to prevent rusting.

What safety precautions should I take when using the bandsaw?

Always wear safety goggles and hearing protection. Keep hands away from the blade and use a push stick when necessary. Ensure the work area is clean and well-lit. Never leave the bandsaw running unattended, and always disconnect power before making adjustments.
