ENGLISH

− work support – for long stock,

which would otherwise fall off

the table on completion of the

cut;

− dust collector;

− an appropriate jig when cutting

round stock, to keep it from

turning;

− a suitable guide for firm sup-

port when cutting thin stock

layed on edge.

• Before starting work, check to

see that the following are in

proper working order:

− band saw blade;

− upper and lower blade guard.

• Replace damaged parts immedi-

ately.

• Assume correct work position

(the band saw blade's teeth must

point towards the operator).

• Never cut several work pieces at

the same time – and also no bun-

dles containing several individual

pieces. Risk of personal injury if

individual pieces are caught by

the saw blade uncontrolled.

c

Entangelement hazard!

• Do not wear loose clothing, jewel-

lery, or gloves, which may get

caught and wound up by revolv-

ing machine parts.

• Contain long hair with a hairnet.

• Never cut stock to which ropes,

cords, strings, cables or wires are

attached or which contain such

materials.

Upper blade guide adjustment

The height of the upper blade guide (60)

needs to be adjusted:

− prior to every cutting operation, to

accommodate the height of the work

piece (the upper blade guide should

be set approx. 3 mm above the work

piece);

− after adjustments of band saw blade

or saw table (e.g. band saw blade

change, tensioning of the band saw

blade, saw table alignment).

A

Danger!

Turn the machine OFF and wait

for the band saw blade to stop before

adjusting the upper blade guide or

the saw table.

1. Set the upper blade guide (60) with

the setting knob (61) to the desired

height.

8.1 Sawing

1. If necessary, adjust the table tilt.

2. Select rip fence and table tilt for the

type of cutting operation to be car-

ried out.

A

Hazard generated by a jam-

ming workpiece!

When sawing with the rip fence and a

tilted saw table, the rip fence must be

installed on that side of the saw table

which is tilted downward.

3. Set upper blade guide 3 mm above

the work piece.

3

Note:

Always make a trial cut in a piece

of scrap to verify settings; correct if nec

-

essary before cutting the work piece.

4. Place work piece on the saw table.

5. Plug in.

6. Start saw.

7. Cut work piece in a single pass.

8. Switch off if no further cutting is to

be done immediately afterwards.

A

Danger!

Prior to all servicing:

1. Switch machine OFF;

2. Wait until the saw has come to a

complete stop.

3. Unplug power cable;

− Check to see that all safety devices

are operational again after each

service.

− Replace defective parts, especially

of safety devices, only with genuine

replacement parts. Parts not tested

and approved by the manufacturer

can cause unforeseen damage.

− Repair and maintenance work other

than described in this section should

only be carried out by qualified spe

-

cialists.
