than 150mm
When the push stick is not used, it can be stored
on the hook provided at the band saw frame
Replace push stick if damaged
14.3.5 Sawing
Set upper blade guide 3mm above the workpiece.
Place workpiece on the table.
Plug in.
Start saw.
Cut workpiece in a single pass.
Switch off if no further cutting is to be done immediately afterwards.
14.3.6 Dust collector
The band saw provides a dust port (Fig.u;1u). It should be connected with dust collector when
sawing wood.
If you do not have dedicated band saw extraction, there is another chance to get rid of the saw
dust. Most of debris except usual dust drifts would fall through a grating into the dust drawer
(Fig.v; 1v). It can be easily pulled out and cleaned.
