value is set on the angle scale (16).
•
Re-tighten the wing handle (18).
•
Important: With the saw table (15) tilted,
place the parallel stop (24) to the right of
the blade (26) looking in the direction in
which you are working, on the side pointing
downwards (provided the workpiece is wide
enough) in order to stop the workpiece from
slipping off.
6.5 Cross stop (Fig. 1)
•
Push the cross stop (10) into the groove in
the saw table (15).
•
You can use the cross stop (10) to perform
angle cuts transverse to the blade (26).
•
Undo the locking screw (52).
•
Set the cross stop to the desired angle.
•
Re-tighten the fastening screw (52).
Danger!
Never use the cross stop (10) and the parallel
stop (24) simultaneously. If you use the parallel
stop (24) and the cross stop (10) simultaneously
to guide the workpiece there will be a greater risk
of the blade getting jammed and causing kick-
back!
7. Operation
Warning!
•
After every new adjustment we recommend
you to make a trial cut in order to check the
new settings.
•
For all cutting operations it is important to
position the blade guide (11) as close as pos-
sible to the workpiece (see 5.5).
•
Always guide the workpiece with both hands,
holding it flat on the table (15) in order to pre-
vent the blade (26) from jamming.
•
Feed the workpiece at a uniform speed that
enables the blade to cut through the material
without difficulty and without blocking.
•
Always use the parallel stop (24) or the cross
stop (10) on all cuts for which they can be
used.
•
It is better to make a complete cut in one
pass rather than in a stop-and-go operation in
which the workpiece might need to be pulled
back. If you have to pull back the workpiece
nevertheless, switch off the bandsaw first and
wait for the blade (26) to stop before pulling
the workpiece back.
•
The workpiece must always be guided by its
longer side during cutting.

Danger! When cutting narrow workpieces, it is
essential to use a push stick. The push stick (35)
must always be kept close at hand in its holder
(36) on the side of the saw.
7.1 Making longitudinal cuts (Fig. 19)
This entails cutting through the workpiece in its
longitudinal direction.
•
As far as possible, place the parallel stop (24)
to the left of the blade (26) for the width requi-
red.
•
Lower the blade guide (11) onto the workpie-
ce. (See 5.5.)
•
Switch on the saw.
•
Press the edge of the workpiece with your
right hand to hold it securely against the par-
allel stop (24) and flat on the table (15).
•
Guide the workpiece along the parallel stop
(24) and into the blade (26) at a uniform
speed.
•
Important: Long workpieces must be se-
cured against falling off at the end of the cut
(e.g. with a roller stand etc.)
7.2 Making angular cuts (Fig. 20)
•
Set the saw table to the desired angle (see
6.4).
•
Carry out the cut as described in (7.1).
7.3 Making cross cuts (Fig. 21)
•
Push the cross stop (10) into the groove in
the saw table (15) and adjust to the required
angle. (See 6.5.)
•
Lower the blade guide (11) onto the workpie-
ce. (See 5.5.)
•
Press the workpiece firmly against the cross
stop (10).
•
Switch on the saw.
•
Push the cross stop (10) and the workpiece
toward the blade in order to make the cut.
•
Warning! Always hold the guided part of the
workpiece. Never hold the part which is to be
cut off.
•
Push the cross stop (10) forward until the
workpiece is cut all the way through.
7.4 Free-hand cuts (Fig. 22)
One of the most outstanding features of a band-
saw is the ease with which it allows you to cut
curves and radii.
•
Lower the blade guide (11) onto the workpie-
ce. (See 5.5.)
•
Switch on the saw.
•
Hold the workpiece firmly on the table (15)
and guide it slowly into the blade (26).
