The band saw is used for the longitudinal and trans- verse cutting of timbers or wood-like workpieces. Round materials may only be cut using suitable hold- ing devices. The machine may only be used in the intended man- ner. Any use beyond this is improper. The user/opera- tor, not the manufacturer, is responsible for damages or injuries of any type resulting from this. Only saw bands that are suitable for the machine may be used. An element of the intended use is also the observance of the safety instructions, as well as the assembly instructions and operating information in the operating manual. Persons who operate and maintain the machine must be familiar with the manual and must be informed about potential dangers. 261GB In addition, the applicable accident prevention regula- tions must be strictly observed. Other general occu- pational health and safety-related rules and regula- tions must be observed. The liability of the manufacturer and resulting dam- ages are excluded in the event of modifications of the machine. Despite use as intended, specific risk factors cannot be entirely eliminated. Due to the design and layout of the machine, the following risks remain: Hearing damage when the necessary hearing pro- tection is not used. Harmful emissions of wood dusts during use in en- closed areas. Risk of accident due to contact with the hands in the uncovered cutting area of the tool. Danger of injury during a tool change (cutting haz- ard). Danger due to the ejection of workpieces or parts of the workpiece. Crushing of fingers. Danger due to kick-back. Tilting of the workpiece due to insufficient work- piece support surface. Touching the cutting tool. Ejection of branches and workpiece parts. Please observe that our equipment was not designed with the intention of use for commercial or industrial purposes. We assume no guarantee if the equipment is used in commercial or industrial applications, or for equivalent work.

5. Safety information

À ATTENTION! The following basic safety measures must be observed when using power tools for protec- tion against electric shock, and the risk of injury and fire. Read all these notices before using the power tool and store the safety instructions well for later ref- erence. Safe work

1. Keep the work area orderly

- Disorder in the work area can lead to accidents.

2. Take environmental influences into account

- Do not expose power tools to rain. - Do not use power tools in a damp or wet environ- ment. - Make sure that the work area is well-illuminated. - Do not use power tools where there is a risk of fire or explosion.

3. Protect yourself from electric shock

- Avoid physical contact with earthed parts (e. g. pipes, radiators, electric ranges, cooling units).

Keep other persons away. Do not allow other persons, especially children, to touch the power tool or the cable. Keep them away from your work area. Securely store unused electric tools Unused power tools should be stored in a dry, elevated or closed location out of the reach of children. Do not overload your power tool They work better and more safely in the speci- fied output range. Use the correct power tool Do not use low-output power tools for heavy work. Do not use the power tool for purposes for which itis not intended. For example, do not use hand- held circular saws for the cutting of branches or logs. Do not use the electric tool to cut firewood. Dress properly Do not wear wide clothing or jewellery, which can become entangled in moving parts. When working outdoors, anti-slip footwear is recommended. Tie long hair back in a hair net. Use protective equipment Wear eye protection. Wear a mask when carrying out dust-creating work. . Connect the dust extraction device If connections for dust extraction and a collect- ing device are present, make sure that they are connected and used properly. When processing wood, materials similar to wood, and plastics. operation in enclosed spac- es is only permitted with the use of a suitable extraction system. Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is not intended Do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the outlet. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges. . Secure the workpiece Use the clamping devices or a vice to hold the workpiece in place. It is thus held more securely than with your hand and allows the machine to be operated with both hands. An additional support is necessary for long workpieces (table, trestle, etc.) in order to pre- vent the machine from tipping over. Always press the workpiece firmly against the working plate and stop in order to prevent bounc- ing and twisting of the workpiece. . Avoid abnormal posture Make sure that you have secure footing and al- ways maintain your balance.

- Protective devices or other parts with minor - Avoid awkward hand positions in which a sud- den slip could cause one or both hands to come into contact with the saw blade. Take care of your tools - Keep cutting tools sharp and clean in order to be able to work better and more safely. - Follow the instructions for lubrication and for tool replacement. - Check the connection cable of the power tool regularly and have it replaced by a recognised specialist when damaged. - Check extension cables regularly and replace them when damaged. - Keep the handle dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Pull the connector out of the socket - Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed wood pieces from the running saw blade. - When the power tool is not in use or prior to maintenance and when replacing tools such as saw blades, bits, milling heads. - Ifthe saw blade jams during cutting due to ex- cessive feeding force, switch off the device and disconnect it from the mains. Remove the work- piece and make sure that the saw blade runs freely. Switch the device on and carry out the cutting operation again with reduced feeding force. Do not leave a tool key inserted - Before switching on, make sure that keys and adjusting tools are removed. Avoid inadvertent starting - Make sure that the switch is switched off when plugging the plug into an outlet. Use extension cables for outdoors - Only use approved and appropriately identified extension cables for use outdoors. - Only use cable reels in the unrolled state. Always remain attentive - Pay attention to what you are doing. Remain sensible when working. Do not use the power tool when you are distracted. Check the power tool for potential damage damage must be carefully inspected to ensure that they function correctly and as intended prior to continued use of the power tool. - Check whether the moving parts function fault- lessly and do not jam or whether parts are dam- aged. All parts must be correctly mounted and all con- ditions must be fulfilled to ensure fault-free op- eration of the power tool. - The moving protective hood may not be fixed in the open position. GB127

Damaged protective devices and parts must be properly repaired or replaced by a recognised workshop, insofar as nothing different is speci- fied in the operating manual. Damaged switches must be replaced at a cus- tomer service workshop. Do not use any faulty or damaged connection cables. Do not use any power tool on which the switch cannot be switched on and off.

The use of other insertion tools and other acces- sories can entail a danger of injury.

22. Have your power tool repaired by a qualified

electrician This power tool conforms to the applicable safe- ty regulations. Repairs may only be performed by an electrician using original spare parts. Oth- erwise accidents can occur. Additional safety instructions + Wear protective gloves for all maintenance work on the saw band! When cutting round or irregular shaped wood, use a device to prevent the workpiece turning When cutting boards on edge, use a device to pre- vent the workpiece kicking back. To comply with the dust emission values for wood- working and for safe operation, a dust extraction system with an air speed of at least 20 m/s should be connected. Pass the safety instructions on to all persons who work on the machine. Never use the saw to cut firewood. The machine is equipped with a safety switch against reactivation if the voltage drops. Before commissioning, check that the voltage on the device type plate corresponds to the mains voltage. Only use the cable drum when unrolled. Personnel working on the machine must not be dis- tracted. Observe the direction of rotation of the motor and saw band. Safety equipment on the machine must not be dis- assembled or made unusable. Do not cut workpieces that are too small in order to keep them secure in your hands. Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed wood pieces from the running saw band. The applicable accident prevention regulations and the other generally accepted safety rules must be observed. Observe the instructions of the employers’ liability insurance association (VBG 7). Set the adjustable guards such that they are as close as possible to the workpiece. 28|GB À ATTENTION! Secure long workpieces against tipping at the end of the cutting process. (e.g. roller stand, etc.) The saw band guard (4) must be in the lower posi- tion during transport of the saw. Protective covers must not be used for transport or improper operation of the machine. Deformed or damaged saw bands may not be used. Replace the worn table inlay. Never operate the machine when the door protect- ing the saw band or the guard is open. Make sure that the choice of saw band and speed is suitable for the material to be cut. Do not start cleaning the saw band until it has come to a complete stop. Use a push stick when making straight cuts in small workpieces against the parallel stop. Wear gloves when handling the saw band and rough materials! During transport, the saw band guard should be in the lowest position and close to the saw table. For mitre cuts with an inclined saw table, the paral- lel stop should be placed on the lower part of the saw table. Never use guards for lifting or transport. Be sure to use and properly adjust the saw band guards. Keep your hands at a safe distance from the saw band. Use a push stick for narrow cuts. Store the push stick on the holder provided for it on the machine so that you can reach it from your normal working position and always have it to hand. In the normal working position, the operator is in front of the machine. À WARNING! This power tool generates an elec- tromagnetic field during operation. This field can im- pair active or passive medical implants under certain conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operat- ing the power tool. Residual risks The electric tool has been built according to state- of-the-art and the recognised technical safety rules. However, individual residual risks can arise during operation. + Danger of injury for fingers and hands due to the running saw band with improper guiding of the workpiece. Injuries due to the workpiece being ejected at high speed due to improper holding or guiding, such as working without the stop. Risk to health from wood dust or wood chippings. It is essential that personal protective equipment, such as eye protection, is worn. Use a suction sys- tem!

Injuries due to defective saw band. Check the in- tegrity of the saw band regularly. Danger of injury for fingers and hands when chang- ing the saw band. Wear suitable work gloves. Danger of injury when the machine is switched on from the running saw band. Hazard due to electrical power with the use of im- proper electrical connection cables. Danger to health from running saw band due to long hair and loose clothing. Wear personal protec- tive equipment such as a hair net and close-fitting work clothing. Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met, some non-obvious residual risks may still re- main. Residual risks can be minimised if the “General safety instructions” and the “Proper use” are ob- served along with the whole of the operating in- structions.

Push the table width enlargement fully onto the ta- ble (Fig. 4.3) in order to fix the two bolts (39) on both sides. (Fig. 4.4) Be sure to fit the bolts (39) on both sides. The two bolts are used to limit the extension of the table width enlargement.

8.3 Fitting the parallel stop (Fig. 5)

Fit the parallel stop (14) by positioning it at the back and fixing the clamping lever (42) in place down- wards. When dismantling, pull the clamping lever (42) up- wards and remove the parallel stop (14). The clamping force of the parallel stop can be ad- justed at the rear knurled nut (41).

8.4 Setting the cutting width (Fig. 5 + 5.1)

The parallel stop (14) must be used when cutting sections of wood lengthways. Place the parallel stop (14) on the guide rail (43) to the left or right of the sawing blade. 2 scales are printed on the guide rail for the paral- lel stop (43), which show the distance between the stop rail and sawing blade. Adjust the parallel stop (14) to the required dimen- sion in the window (44) and use the clamping lever (42) to fix in place for the parallel stop. (fig. 5)

8.5 Using the table width enlargement (Fig. 6-6.2)

- Always use the table width enlargement (8) with particularly wide workpieces. - Loosen the clamping lever (10) and pull the table width enlargement out far enough so that the work- piece to be sawn can lie on it without tipping. (Fig. 6.2)

8.6 Clamping the saw band (fig. 1)

À ATTENTION! If the saw is at a standstill for an extended period the saw band tension must be relieved, i.e. before switching the saw on it is nec- essary to check the saw blade tension. Turn the clamping screw (1) clockwise to tension the saw band (26). The correct tension of the saw band can be determined by pressing the finger laterally against the saw band, roughly centrally between the two saw band rollers (2+9). The saw band (26) should only depress slightly (approx. 1-2 mm) here. The sufficiently tensioned saw band makes a me- tallic sound when tapped. Relieve the saw band tension if it is not in use for an extended time, so that it does not become over- stretched. À ATTENTION! With high tension, the saw band may break. RISK OF INJURY! If the tension is too low, the driven saw band roller (9) may spin, resulting in the saw band coming to a standstill. 301 GB

8.7 Setting the saw band (fig. 1 + 1a)

Angle bracket not included in the scope of supply. Tilt the saw table (7) by turning, until the angle to the saw band (26) is precisely 90°. If the saw table is already on the screw (58) and a 90° angle cannot be set, undo the nut (59) and shorten the screw (58) by turning in a clockwise direction. Retighten the locking handle (22) and wing nut (21). Also undo the nut (59). Adjust the screw (58) sufficiently that the saw table touches the underside. Retighten the nut (59) to fix the screw (58) in posi- tion.

8.11 Which saw band to use

The saw band supplied in the band saw is intended for universal use. The following criteria should be considered when selecting the saw band: It is possible to cut tighter radii with a narrow saw band than with a wide saw band. A wide saw band is used if a straight cut is required. This is important in particular when cutting wood. The saw band has a tendency to follow the wood grain and therefore deviates easily from the desired cutting line. Fine-toothed saw bands cut more smoothly, but also more slowly than coarse saw bands. À ATTENTION! Never use bent or torn saw bands!

8.12 Push rod retainer (fig. 14)

The push rod retainer (60) is pre-mounted on the ma- chine frame. If unused, the push rod (29) must always be stowed in the push rod retainer.

8.13 Replacing the table insert (fig. 15)

In the event of wear or damage the table inlay (6) must be replaced; otherwise there is an increased danger of injury. + Remove the worn table insert (6) by lifting it up and out. + Installation of the new table inlay takes place in re- verse order. GB|31

8.14 Replacing the saw band (Fig. 1a+ 1b +16)

Set the saw band guide (5) at approx. half height between the saw table (7) and machine frame (18). Undo the cover locking mechanisms (12) and open the side covers (13). Remove the bolt M6x35 (36) with two washers (37) and the nut (38) from the table. (fig. 3) Relieve the saw band (26) tension by turning the clamping screw (1) counterclockwise. Remove the saw band (26) from the saw band roll- ers (2+9) and through the slot in the saw table (7). Place the new saw band (26) centrally on both saw band rollers (2+9). The teeth of the saw band (26) must point downwards in the direction of the saw table (fig. 6). Tension the saw band (26) (see 8.6) Close the side cover (13) again. Fit the bolt M6x35 (36) with two washers (37) and the nut (38) to the table. (fig. 3)

8.15 Suction port (fig. 1a)

The band saw is equipped with an extraction nozzle (24) S 40mm for chips. Only operate the device with a suitable extraction system. Check and clean the extraction channels at regular intervals.

8.16 Transverse cutting gauge (25) (optional)

(Fig. 23) Slide the transverse cutting gauge (25) in the groove (A) of the saw table. Release the grip screw (E). Turn the transverse stop (C) until the desired angle has been set. The arrow (F) on the transverse stop indicates the set angle. Retighten the grip screw (E). The stop rail (B) can be slid against the transverse stop (C). To do so, loosen the knurled screws (D) and slide the stop rail (B) into the desired position. Tighten the knurled screw (D) again À ATTENTION! Do not slide the stop rail (B) too far in the direction of the saw blade. À ATTENTION! All protective devices and covers must be installed before any work is carried out on the machine. The top and bottom band wheel is clad by a firmly attached protection and a moveable housing cover. The machine is switched off when the housing cover is opened. It can only be switched on with the cover closed.

+ Itis possible to switch the saw on by pressing the green “l” button. +_In order to switch the saw off again, it is necessary to press the red “0” button. 321GB + The band saw is equipped with an undervoltage switch. With a power failure, the band saw must be switched back on again.

9.2 Parallel stop (fig. 5 + 18)

Place the parallel stop (14) on the guide rail (43) to the left or right of the sawing blade. Press the clamping bar (42) down to fix the parallel stop (14) in place. The clamping force of the parallel stop can be adjusted at the rear knurled nut (41). Make sure that the parallel stop (14) always runs parallel to the saw band (26).

9.3 Angled cuts (fig. 20)

In order to execute angled cuts parallel to the saw band (26), it is possible to tilt the saw bench (7) for- wards from 0° - 45°. + Undo locking handle (22) and wing nut (21). + Tilt saw bench (7) forwards, until the desired angle is set on the degree scale (35). + _Retighten the locking handle (22) and wing nut (21). À ATTENTION! With a tilted saw table (7), the paral- lel stop (14) must always be fitted to the right of the saw band (26) in the working direction. This prevents the workpiece from slipping. 10.Working instructions The following recommendations are examples for safe use of the band saws. The following safe working methods are considered to contribute to safety but may not be appropriate, fully or extensively applicable for every use. They cannot cover all possible hazardous conditions and must be interpreted carefully. When working in enclosed spaces, connect the machines to a suction system. Ifthe machine is not in operation, e.g. work is com- plete, slacken the saw band. Attach a correspond- ing note on the tensioning of the saw band to the machine for the next user. Store unused saw blades folded up and safely in a dry place. Check for faults (teeth, cracks) before use. Do not use defective saw bands! Wear suitable gloves when handling saw bands. Before starting any work, all protective and safety devices must be in place. Never clean the saw band or the saw band guide with a hand-held brush or scraper if the saw band is running. Resinous saw bands jeopardise work safety and must be cleaned regularly. Wear safety goggles and hearing protection when working for your personal protection. Wear a hair net with long hair. Roll loose sleeves up above the elbows. Always position the saw band guide as close as possible to the workpiece when working.

Make sure that the lighting conditions in the work- ing and surrounding area of the machine are suf- ficient. Always use the parallel stop for straight cuts in or- der to prevent the workpiece from tilting or slipping. Use the push stick for processing narrow workpiec- es with manual advance. For angled cuts, move the saw table into the ap- propriate position and guide the workpiece on the parallel stop. In order to cut dovetail tenons and teeth or wedges, bring the saw table into the corresponding position on the angjle scale. On curved and irregular cuts, advance the work- piece using both hands, keeping your fingers closed. Keep your hands on a safe area of the workpiece. For repeated cutting of curve, irregular cuts, use an auxiliary template. Secure the workpiece against turning when cutting round pieces of wood. À ATTENTION! After every new setting, we recom- mend performing a test cut, in order to check the di- mensional settings. With all cutting processes, the top saw band guide (5) must be positioned as close as possible to the workpiece (see 8.9). The workpiece must always be guided with both hands and kept flat against the saw table (7). This prevents the saw band (26) 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 (14) 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 saw band (26) has come to a standstill. When sawing, the workpiece must always be guid- ed by its longest side. À ATTENTION! When processing narrower work- pieces it is essential to use a push rod. The push rod (29) must always be stored within reach, on the push rod retainer (60) provided for this purpose on the side ofthe saw. 101 Carrying out longitudinal cuts (fig. 19) Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction. + Position the parallel stop (14) on the left side (if pos- sible) of the saw band (26), in accordance with the desired width. Lower the saw band guide (5) onto the workpiece. (see 8.9) Switch on the saw. (see 9.1) Press one edge of the workpiece against the paral- lel stop (14) with the right hand, whilst the flat side lies on the saw bench (7). Slide the workpiece at an even feed rate along the parallel stop (14) into the saw band (26). Important:Long workpieces must be secured against tipping at the end of the cutting process (e.g. with reel-off stand, etc.)

10.2 Carrying out angled cuts (fig. 20)

+ Set saw bench to desired angle (see 9.3). + Perform the cut as described under 10.1. When producing angled cuts, only use the parallel stop to the right of the saw band.

10.3 Freehand cuts (fig. 21)

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 8.9) Switch on the saw. Press the workpiece firmly onto the saw bench (7) and slowly slide into the saw band (26). In many cases it is helpful to roughly saw curves and corners approximately 6 mm from the line. Ifitis necessary to saw curves that are too tight for the saw band used, auxiliary cuts must be sawn up to the front face of the curve. The final radius can be subsequently sawn out.

10.4 Executing cuts using the cutting gauge (fig.

22 + fig. 23) + Set transverse cutting gauge (25) to the desired angle (see 8.16) + Perform the cut as described under 10.1. 11.Electrical connection The electrical motor installed is connected and ready for operation.
