Operation - Parkside PBS 350 A1 Instrucciones De Utilización Y De Seguridad

• Turn the top saw band roller (2) a few times in a clockwise
direction.
• Check the setting of the top guide pins (38) again and ad-
just if necessary.
• If necessary, adjust the top support bearing (36) (8.4.1).
8.4.4 Adjusting the bottom guide pins (46)
(Fig.7+8)
• Disassemble saw table (7)
• Undo screw for bottom retainer (43) (Allen key, size 5)
• Move bottom retainer (47), bottom guide pins (46), until
the front edge of the bottom guide pins (46) is approx. 1
mm behind the tooth base of the saw band.
• Retighten screw for bottom retainer (43).
• ATTENTION! The saw band will be unusable if the teeth
touch the guide pins with the saw band running.
• Undo Allen screws for bottom guide pins (45).
• Slide the two bottom guide pins (46) sufficiently far in the
direction of the saw band that the distance between the
guide pins (46) and Bandsaw blade (21) is max. 0.5 mm.
(Saw band must not jam)
• Retighten Allen screws for bottom guide pins (45).
• Turn the bottom saw band roller (8) a few times in a clock-
wise direction.
• Check the setting of the bottom guide pins (46) again and
adjust if necessary.
• If necessary, adjust the bottom support bearing (42)
(8.4.2).
8.5 Adjusting the top saw band guide (5) (Fig. 9)
• Undo locking handle for saw band guide (23).
• Turn the adjustment handle for the saw band guide (22) to
lower the saw band guide (5) as closely as possible (dis-
tance approx. 2-3 mm) over the material to be cut.
• Retighten locking handle (23).
• Check the setting before every cutting process and adjust
if necessary.
8.6 Adjusting the saw table (7) to 90° (Fig. 10+11)
• Set the top saw blade guide (5) fully upwards.
• Undo locking handle (20) and wing nut (31) (Fig. 2).
• Place the angle bracket between the Bandsaw blade (21)
and saw table (7). Angle bracket not included in the scope
of supply.
• Tilt the saw table (7) by turning, until the angle to the
Bandsaw blade (21) is precisely 90°. If the saw table is
already on the screw (49) and a 90° angle cannot be set,
undo the nut (50) and shorten the screw (49) by turning in
a clockwise direction.
• Retighten the locking handle (20) and wing nut (31).
• Also undo the nut (50).
• Adjust the screw (49) sufficiently that the saw table touch-
es the underside.
• Retighten the nut (50) to fix the screw (49) in position.
8.7 Which saw band to use
The saw band supplied in the band saw is intended for uni-
versal use. The following criteria should be considered when
selecting the saw band:
• It is possible to cut tighter radii with a narrow saw band
than with a wide saw band.
• A wide saw band is used if a straight cut is required. This is
important in particular when cutting wood. The saw band
has a tendency to follow the wood grain and therefore
deviates easily from the desired cutting line.
• Fine-toothed saw bands cut more smoothly, but also more
slowly than coarse saw bands.
Attention: Never use bent or torn saw bands!
8.8 Replacing the saw band (Fig. 1a+1b+14)
• Set the saw band guide (5) at approx. half height between
the saw table (7) and machine frame (15).
• Undo the cover locking mechanisms (10) and open the
side covers (11).
• Remove U-reinforcement (34) as described in 8.1.
• Relieve the Bandsaw blade (21) tension by turning the
clamping screw (1) anti-clockwise.
• Remove the Bandsaw blade (21) from the saw band rollers
(2+8) and through the slot in the saw table (7).
• Place the new Bandsaw blade (21) centrally on both saw
band rollers (2+8). The teeth of the Bandsaw blade (21)
must point downwards in the direction of the saw table
(Fig. 6).
• Tension the Bandsaw blade (21) (see 8.2)
• Close the side cover (11) again.
• Re-install the U-reinforcement (34).
8.9 Replacing the table insert (Fig. 13)
In case of wear or damage, the table insert (6) must be re-
placed; otherwise there is an increased risk of injury.
• Remove the worn table insert (6) by lifting it up and out.
• Installation of the new table insert takes place in reverse
order.
8.10 Extraction nozzle (Fig. 1b)
The band saw is equipped with an extraction nozzle (19) Ø
40 mm for chips.
Only operate the device with a suitable extraction system.
Check and clean the suction channels at regular intervals.
8.11 Push Stick retainer (Fig. 12)
The Push Stick retainer (48) is pre-mounted on the machine
frame. If unused, the Push stick (26) must always be stowed
in the Push Stick retainer.

9. Operation

9.1 On/Off switch (12) (Fig. 15)
• To turn the machine on, press the green button „I".
• To turn the machine off again, press the red button „0".
• The band saw is equipped with an undervoltage switch.
With a power failure, the band saw must be switched back
on again.
9.2 Parallel stop (Fig. 16)
• Press the clamping bar (25) of the parallel stop (24) up-
wards
• Slide the parallel stop (24) left or right of the Bandsaw
blade (21) on the saw table (7) and set to the desired
measurement.
