Lower guide fingers (Fig. 14)
Set the lower guide fingers (g) to the corresponding
sawblade width. The front edges of the guide fingers
must not exceed the tooth base of the sawblade.
When the guide fingers slightly touch the sawblade,
tighten the set screws (h).
The sawblade must not jam!
8.6 Sawblade changing (Fig. 8-15)
Attention: Pull the mains plug!
Wear protective gloves when changing the saw
blade! Risk of injury!
Loosen the four knurled screws on the guide rail
•
for the lengthwise aligning stop. (Fig. 7)
Remove the guide rail. (Fig. 8)
•
Open the saw band guard, top and bottom.
•
Relieve the saw band tension with the clamping
•
screw (9), remove the band. Fig. 9
•
Insert a new saw band.
Side correction (Fig. 9)
The sawblade should run in the centre of the band
•
wheels.
Turn the upper band wheel by hand in the cutting
•
direction, and make the side correction by means
of the handle (K).
Attention! The saw band should run over the cen-
•
tre of the band wheel after multiple turns. Visual
inspection!
Turn the band wheel by hand in the cutting direc-
•
tion while determining the final tension with the ten-
sion screw (9). The degree of tensioning depends
on the sawblade width. Wide sawblades must be
tensioned more than narrow ones.
After successful setting firmly tighten the locknut
•
(M). Close the guard.
Attention: Too strong a tensioning will cause prema-
ture breaking.
•
Fit the guide rail for the lengthwise aligning stop in
reverse order (Fig. 7+8)
After termination of the work, always relieve the
•
tension by releasing tension bolt (9).
8.7 Storing the push rod (Fig. 15)
In order to have the push rod (N) to hand at all times,
hang it on the device (i) intended for this, at the top
left side of your band saw.
8.8 Transverse cutting gauge (optional) (Fig. 16)
Slide lateral stop (j) into a groove (k) in the saw
•
bench.
•
Release the grip screw (l).
Turn the lateral stop (j) until the desired angular
•
dimension has been set. The arrow on the lateral
stop indicates the set angle.
Retighten the grip screw (l).
•
The stop rail (n) can be slid against the lateral
•
stop (j). To do so, loosen the knurled screws (m)
and slide the stop rail (n) into the desired position.
Tighten the knurled screws (m) again

GB
Attention! Do not slide the stop rail (n) too far in the
•
direction of the saw blade.
8.9 On/Off switch (Fig. 1)
To turn the machine on, press the green button
•
„1" (8).
To turn the machine off again, press the red but-
•
ton „0"(8).
The band saw is equipped with an undervoltage
•
switch. With a power failure, the band saw must
be switched back on again.
Attention!
When working with the machine, all protective devic-
es 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.
9. 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.
10. 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 comprehen-
sively to every use. They cannot treat every possible
dangerous condition and must be interpreted care-
fully.
Connect the machine to a suction unit when work-
•
ing in closed rooms. A suction device which con-
forms with commercial regulations must be used
for suction 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.
