Replacement 15UF (standard) or 20UF (older models) leaded motor starter capacitor for the Elektra Beckum BAS 315 316 Bandsaws. If your bandsaw makes a humming sound and doesn't work when you press the start button, this part may be the cause. This unit is on the side of the motor and connects with two wires. Bandsaw motor not starting #650773. 18 Jan 2012, 17:04 #650773. I am having difficulty sorting problem on my Elektra Beckum BAS315 bandsaw. On start up I get a humming noise, but motor does not spin up. I can get it going by pushing the blade with a stick- it then functions perfectly.

Important

Before installing the Precision Blade Guide, the saw band guard must be
shortened by 45 mm, so the blade can still be changed when the Precision
Blade Guide is installed.
Loosen wing nut (135) and set blade guard ass'y (12) to lowest position, until
standard roller guide ass'y rests on the table. Remove the 4 raised countersunk
head screws (212) with Philips #2 screwdriver. Use a hacksaw to cut off
45 mm from the saw band guard as indicated in the drawing below.
Reinstall saw band guard.
