• Always hold the workpiece so that your fingertips point away from the bandsaw.
• Safely fold unused band saw blades and store them in a dry place.
• Check the saw blade before use. Do not use faulty band saw blades.
• Wear protective gloves when handling the band saw blade.
• Use the push stick to manually feed narrow workpieces.
• Using workpieces longer than the saw work table may cause tilting at the end of the cutting operation.
• Lower the band saw guard as close as possible to the workpiece for all cutting procedures.
• The workpiece must always be guided with both hands and heels flat on the saw table.
• When sawing, the workpiece must always be guided by its longest side.

Switching On & Sawing

FAQs

Q: Can the Ronix 5720 cut curves?

Indeed. The band saw can cut complex forms and smooth curves in soft plastic and wood by employing thin blades (6–10 mm) and changing speed suitably.

Q: What is the warranty for the Ronix 5720?

A one-year limited warranty covering manufacturing faults is included with the saw. Misuse, overloading, and incorrect blade installation are not covered by the warranty.

Q: Can the band saw cut curves in thick wood?

Yes, but keep your feed moderate and steady and use a thinner blade (6–8 mm) for heavy timber. Specialised blades or extra support may be needed for tight turns.

Q: Can I use the saw for angled bevel cuts?

Indeed. Use a mitre gauge or fence to guide the workpiece after adjusting the table tilt angle and securing it in place.

Q: Can the saw handle long wooden boards?

Because the Ronix 5720 is a small band saw, very long boards might need additional support on both ends to avoid bending or binding while being cut.

Q: What should I do if the motor overheats?

As soon as possible, unplug and turn off the saw. Give the motor 15 to 20 minutes to cool. Look for potential causes such as blade friction or binding.

Q: How do I ensure safe operation when cutting small pieces?

To guide small workpieces, use push sticks or blocks.  Keep your hands at least 100 millimetres away from the blade. Slowly and steadily feed the substance.

Q: What is the ideal blade speed for different materials?

Softwood: 1,200–1,600 RPM, 1,000–1,400 RPM for hardwood, 1,000–1,200 RPM for plastic
800–1,000 RPM for non-ferrous metal
