• Check the setting of the bottom guide pins (56)
again and adjust if necessary.
• If necessary, adjust the bottom support bearing
(52) (8.8.2).
8.9 Adjusting the top saw band guide (5) (Fig. 11)
• Undo locking handle for saw band guide (28).
• Turn the adjustment handle for the saw band guide
(27) to lower the saw band guide (5) as closely as
possible (distance approx. 2-3 mm) over the mate-
rial to be cut.
• Retighten locking handle (28).
• Check the setting before every cutting process and
adjust if necessary.
8.10 Adjusting the saw table (7) to 90°
(Fig. 2+12+13)
• Set the top saw blade guide (5) fully upwards. (8.9)
• Undo locking handle (22) and wing nut (21) (Fig. 2).
• Place the angle bracket between the Bandsaw
blade (26) and saw table (7). Angle bracket not in-
cluded in the scope of supply.
• Tilt the saw table (7) by turning, until the angle to
the Bandsaw blade (26) is precisely 90°. If the saw
table is already on the screw (58) and a 90° angle
cannot be set, undo the nut (59) and shorten the
screw (58) by turning in a clockwise direction.
• Retighten the locking handle (22) and wing nut (21).
• Also undo the nut (59).
• Adjust the screw (58) sufficiently that the saw table
touches the underside.
• Retighten the nut (58) to fix the screw (59) in posi-
tion.
8.11 Which saw band to use
The saw band supplied in the band saw is intended
for universal 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.
m ATTENTION! Never use bent or torn saw bands!
8.12 Push Stick retainer (Fig. 14)
The Push Stick retainer (60) is pre-mounted on the
machine frame. If unused, the Push stick (29) must
always be stowed in the Push Stick retainer.
8.13 Replacing the table insert (Fig. 15)
In case of wear or damage, the table insert (6) must
be replaced; 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.

8.14 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 (18).
• Undo the cover locking mechanisms (12) and open
the side covers (13).
• Remove the screw M6x35 (36) with two washers
(37) and the nut (38) of the table. (Fig. 3)
• Relieve the Bandsaw blade (26) tension by turning
the clamping screw (1) anti-clockwise.
• Remove the Bandsaw blade (26) from the saw band
rollers (2+9) and through the slot in the saw table (7).
• Place the new Bandsaw blade (26) centrally on
both saw band rollers (2+9). The teeth of the Band-
saw blade (26) must point downwards in the direc-
tion of the saw table (Fig. 6).
• Tension the Bandsaw blade (26) (see 8.6)
• Close the side cover (13) again.
• Mount the M6x35 bolt (36) to the table with two
washers (37) and the nut (38). (Fig. 3)
8.15 Extraction nozzle (Fig. 1b)
The band saw is equipped with an extraction nozzle
(24) Ø 40 mm for chips.
Only operate the device with a suitable extraction
system. Check and clean the suction channels at
regular intervals.
8.16 Mitre gauge (optional) (25) (Fig. 23)
• Slide lateral stop (25) into a groove (A) in the saw
bench.
• Release the grip screw (E).
• Turn the lateral stop (C) until the desired angular
dimension has been set. The arrow (F) on the lat-
eral stop indicates the set angle.
• Retighten the grip screw (E).
• The stop rail (B) can be slid against the lateral
stop (C). To do so, loosen the knurled screws (D)
and slide the stop rail (B) into the desired position.
Tighten the knurled screws (D) again
m ATTENTION! Do not slide the stop rail (B) too far
in the direction of the saw blade.
m ATTENTION! When working with the machine, all
protective devices and guards must be fitted.
The upper and lower bandwheel is protected by a
fixed guard and an articulated cover. When opening
the cover, the machine is switched off. Starting is
possible only with closed cover.
