• In order to cut dovetail tenons and teeth or wedges,
bring the saw table into the corresponding position
on the angle scale.
• For arced and irregular cuts, push the workpiece
evenly using both hands with the fingers together.
Hold the workpiece with your hands on a safe area.
• Use a pattern for repeated arced or irregular cuts.
• Insure that the workpiece does not roll when cutting
round pieces.
Attention! After every new setting, we recommend
performing a test cut, in order to check the dimen-
sional settings.
• With all cutting processes, the top saw band guide
(5) must be positioned as close as possible to the
workpiece (see 9.5).
• The workpiece must always be guided with both
hands and kept flat against the saw table (7). This
prevents the Bandsaw blade (22) from jamming.
• Forward feeding should always take place with an
even pressure, which is just sufficient for the saw
band to cut through the material with ease without
becoming blocked.
• Always use the parallel stop (25) for all cutting pro-
cesses that it can be used for.
• It is better to perform a cut in a single working step
than in multiple steps, which may require that the
workpiece be drawn back. However, if it is not pos-
sible to avoid drawing the workpiece back then the
band saw must be switched off first. Only draw the
workpiece back once the bandsaw blade (22) has
come to a standstill.
• When sawing, the workpiece must always be guided
by its longest side.
ATTENTION! When processing narrower workpiec-
es it is essential to use a Push stick. The Push stick
(27) must always be stored within reach, on the Push
Stick retainer (48) provided for this purpose on the
side of the saw.
11.1 Performing longitudinal cuts (Fig. 20)
Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction.
• Position the longitudinal fence (25) on the left side
(if possible) of the Bandsaw blade (22), in accord-
ance with the desired width.
• Lower the saw band guide (5) onto the workpiece
(9.5).
• Switch on the saw (see 10.1).
• Press one edge of the workpiece against the longi-
tudinal fence (25) with the right hand, whilst the flat
side lies on the saw bench (7).
• Slide the workpiece at an even feed rate along the
longitudinal fence (25) into the Bandsaw blade (22).
• Important: Long workpieces must be secured
against tipping at the end of the cutting process
(e.g. with reel-off stand, etc.)
11.2 Performing angled cuts (Fig. 19)
• Set saw bench to desired angle (see „Angled cuts").
• Perform the cut as described under „11.1".
When producing angled cuts, only use the parallel stop
to the right of the saw band.
11.3 Freehand cuts (Fig. 21)
One of the most important features of a band saw is
the ease with which it can cut curves and radii.
• Lower the saw band guide (5) onto the workpiece
(see 9.5).
• Switch on the saw.
• Press the workpiece firmly onto the saw bench (7)
and slowly slide into the Bandsaw blade (22).
• In many cases it is helpful to roughly saw curves
and corners approximately 6 mm from the line.
• If it is necessary to saw curves that are too tight for
the saw band used, auxiliary cuts must be sawn up
to the front face of the curve, so that these fall off as
wood waste when the final radius is sawn.
12. Transport
The machine must only be lifted and transported on
its frame or the frame plate. Never lift the machine at
the safety devices, the adjusting levers, or the sawing
table.
During the transport the saw blade protection must be
in the lowest position and near the table.
Never raise at the table! Unplug the machine from the
mains during transport.
13. Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING! Prior to any adjustment, maintenance or
service work disconnect the mains power plug!
Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor hous-
ing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the
equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with com-
pressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device immediately
each time you have finished using it.
