10.3. Angled cuts (Fig. 17)
In order to execute angled cuts parallel to the Band-
saw blade (21), it is possible to tilt the saw bench (7)
forwards from 0° - 45°.
• Undo locking handle (20) and wing nut (31).
• Tilt saw bench (7) forwards, until the desired angle
is set on the degree scale (17).
• Retighten the locking handle (20) and wing nut (31).
• Attention: With a tilted saw table (7), the parallel
stop (24) must always be fitted to the right of the
Bandsaw blade (21) in the working direction. This
prevents the workpiece from slipping.

11. 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 saw-
ing 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.

12. Working instructions

The following recommendations are examples of the
safe use of band saws.
The following safe working methods should be seen
as an aid to safety. They cannot be applied suitably
completely or comprehensively to every use. They
cannot treat every possible dangerous condition and
must be interpreted carefully.
• Connect the machine to a suction unit when working
in closed rooms. A suction device which conforms
with commercial regulations must be used for suc-
tion in commercial areas.
• Loosen the sawband when the machine is not in
operation (e.g. after finishing work). Attach a no-
tice on the tension of the saw band to the machine
for the next user.
• Collect unused sawbands and store them safely in
a dry place. Check for faults (teeth, cracks) before
use. Do not use faulty sawbands!
• Wear suitable gloves when handling sawbands.
• All protective and safety devices must be securely
mounted on the machine before beginning work.
• Never clean the sawband or the sawband guide
with a hand-held brush or scraper while the saw-
band is running. Resin-covered sawbands impair
working safety and must be cleaned regularly.
• For your own protection, wear protective glasses
and hearing protection. Wear a hairnet if you have
long hair. Roll up loose sleeves over the elbows.
• Always position the sawband guide as near the
workpiece as possible when working.
• Insure sufficient lighting in the work area and
around the machine.
• Always use the fence for straight cuts to keep the
workpiece from tipping or slipping away.
• When working on narrow workpieces with manual
feed, use the push stick.
• For diagonal cuts, place the saw bench in the appro-
priate position and guide the workpiece on the fence.
• In order to cut dovetail tenons and teeth or wedg-
es, bring the saw table into the corresponding po-
sition on the angle scale.
28 GB
• For arced and irregular cuts, push the workpiece
evenly using both hands with the fingers togeth-
er. 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 cut-
ting 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 (21) 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 (24) 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 (21) has
come to a standstill.
• When sawing, the workpiece must always be guid-
ed by its longest side.
• Attention! When processing narrower workpieces
it is essential to use a Push stick. The Push stick
(26) must always be stored within reach, on the
Push Stick retainer (48) provided for this purpose
on the side of the saw.
12.1 Performing longitudinal cuts (Fig. 18)
Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction.
• Position the longitudinal fence (24) on the left side
(if possible) of the Bandsaw blade (21), 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 lon-
gitudinal fence (24) 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 (24) into the Bandsaw blade (21).
• Important: Long workpieces must be secured
against tipping at the end of the cutting process
(e.g. with reel-off stand, etc.)
12.2 Performing angled cuts (Fig. 17)
• Set saw bench to desired angle (see „Angled
cuts").
• Perform the cut as described under „Performing
longitudinal cuts".
When producing angled cuts, only use the parallel
stop to the right of the saw band.
12.3 Freehand cuts (Fig. 19)
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.
