Preparing for startup
 To obtain a perfect working of the machine follow the
following advices:
 Place the saw in a place that fulfils the following conditions:
 secured against slipping
 free of vibrations
 even
 free of tripping hazards
 adequate light
 Before each use, check
 Connection cables for defects (cracks, cuts, etc.)
Do not use any defective cables.
 the table insert for its proper condition
 the saw band for its faultless condition
 that all doors are closed
 whether the pushstick is to hand
 Do not use any deformed or damaged saw bands.
 Replace a worn-out or damaged table insert immediately.
 When the machine is not used open-air it must be con-
nected on both suction sockets with a splinter extraction
system (i.e. portable small dust extractor).
Start-up

Electric supply
Compare the voltage listed on the machine's type plate, e.g.
230 V, with the mains voltage and connect the machine to a
suited and and properly earthed electrical socket.

AC-motor
Use an electrical socket with a rated voltage of 230 V with a
fault-current circuit breaker (30 mA).

Main fuse: 10 A slow
Use an connecting or extension cable in compliance with IEC
60245 (H 07 RN-F) having a core cross-section of at least:
 1.5 mm² for cable lengths up to 25 m
 2.5 mm² for cable lengths over 25 m
ON/OFF switch
Do not use any device where the switch can not be
switched on and off. Damaged switches must be repaired
or replaced immediately by the customer service.
Switching on
Press the green button ( I ) on switch.

Restart protection in case of power failure
The device cuts off automatically in case of power failure. To
restart, first push the red button ( 0 ) and then the green button
( I ).
Switching off
Press the red button ( 0 ) on switch.
Saw band selection
Consider when selecting the saw band,
 that no edgeless or damaged saw bands are used.
 that the selection of the saw band and the number of revo-
lutions is suitable for the material to be cut.
The saw band delivered by standard is suitable for wood and
most plastics.
Connect splinter extraction
In closed rooms work only with a splinter extraction
(air speeds at suction socket of the saw  20 m/sec.).
Sawing without splinter extraction only
 for short-time service (up to 30 min.)
 or with a protective mask
 or open-air

If you do not connect splinter extractor sawdust will con-
centrate which you have to remove regularly.
Connect sawdust extraction system or small dust extractor
with a suitable adapter to the sawdust suction socket.
Settings on the saw
Saw band tension
A too high stress can result in the break of the saw band.
A too less stress can result in the drive wheel sliding
through and then result in the stop of the saw band.
You can check the stress:
Put the upper saw band coping (19) completely upwards
(see „Adjustment of the upper saw coping) and press with
the finger in the middle between the saw table and the
upper saw coping transversally against the saw band
 it shall only be possible to push the saw band in laterally by
3 – 5 mm.
With the adjusting wheel (1) the stress of the saw band
can be corrected.
Increase stress (+)
 turn adjusting wheel clockwise
Reduce stress (-)
 turn the adjusting wheel anti-clockwise
Incline of the upper band saw roll
Open the upper case door (2) to be able to check the run
of the saw band by turning the band saw roll (17)
manually and clockwise.
