9.1 Assembling the saw table (Fig. 2-4)

• Remove the wing nut (31), the locking handle (20), the two washers and the clamping plate (32). (Fig. 2)

• Remove the two knurled nuts (33), the U-reinforcement (34) and the two countersunk screws M6x16 from the saw table. (Fig. 3)

• Guide the saw table (7) over the bandsaw blade (21). Fas- ten it to the two screws on the machine frame with the plate (32), the two washers, the wing nut (31) and the locking handle (20). (Fig. 4)

• Fasten the U-reinforcement (34) to the front side of the saw table with 2 countersunk screws M6x16 and 2 knurled nuts (33). (Fig. 3)

9.2 Tensioning the saw band (Fig. 1a)

• 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 necessary to check the saw blade tension.

• Turn the clamping screw (1) clockwise to tension the band- saw blade (21). 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+8). The bandsaw blade (21) should only depress slightly (approx. 1-2 mm) here.

• The sufficiently tensioned saw band makes a metallic sound when tapped.

• Relieve the saw band tension if it is not in use for an extended time, so that it does not become overstretched.

• ATTENTION! With high tension, the saw band may break. RISK OF INJURY! If the tension is too low, the driven saw band roller (8) may spin, resulting in the saw band coming to a standstill.

9.3 Adjusting the saw band (Fig. 1a+1b)

9.6 Adjusting the saw table (7) to 90° (Fig. 10+11)

• Set the top saw blade guide (5) fully upwards.

• Undo locking handle (20) and wing nut (31) (Fig. 2).

• Place the angle bracket between the bandsaw blade (21) and saw table (7). Angle bracket not included in the scope of supply.

• Tilt the saw table (7) by turning, until the angle to the band- saw blade (21) is precisely 90°. If the saw table is already on the screw (49) and a 90° angle cannot be set, undo the nut (50) and shorten the screw (49) by turning in a clockwise direction.

• Retighten the locking handle (20) and wing nut (31).

• Also undo the nut (50).

• Adjust the screw (49) sufficiently that the saw table touches the underside.

• Retighten the nut (50) to fix the screw (49) in position.

9.7 Which saw band to use

The saw band supplied in the band saw is intended for uni- versal 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 devi- ates easily from the desired cutting line.

• Fine-toothed saw bands cut more smoothly, but also more slowly than coarse saw bands. Attention: Never use bent or torn saw bands!

9.8 Replacing the saw band (Fig. 1a+1b+14)

• Set the saw band guide (5) at approx. half height between the saw table (7) and machine frame (15).

• Undo the cover locking mechanisms (10) and open the side covers (11).

• Remove U-reinforcement (34) as described in 9.1.

• Relieve the bandsaw blade (21) tension by turning the clamping screw (1) anti-clockwise.

• Remove the bandsaw blade (21) from the saw band rollers (2+8) and through the slot in the saw table (7).

• Place the new bandsaw blade (21) centrally on both saw band rollers (2+8). The teeth of the bandsaw blade (21) must point downwards in the direction of the saw table (Fig. 6).

• Tension the bandsaw blade (21) (see 9.2)

• Close the side cover (11) again.

• Re-install the U-reinforcement (34).

9.9 Replacing the table insert (Fig. 13)

• In case of wear or damage, the table insert (6) must be re- placed; otherwise there is an increased risk of injury.

• Remove the worn table insert (6) by lifting it up and out.

• Installation of the new table insert takes place in reverse or- der.

9.10 Extraction nozzle (Fig. 1b)

• The band saw is equipped with an extraction nozzle (19) Ø 40 mm for chips.

• Only operate the device with a suitable extraction system. Check and clean the suction channels at regular intervals.

9.11 Push Stick retainer (Fig. 12)

• The Push Stick retainer (48) is pre-mounted on the machine frame. If unused, the Push stick (26) must always be stowed in the Push Stick retainer.9GB/IE/NI

• The band saw is equipped with an undervoltage switch. With a power failure, the band saw must be switched back on again.

10.2 Parallel stop (Fig. 16)

• Press the clamping bar (25) of the parallel stop (24) up- wards

• Slide the parallel stop (24) left or right of the Bandsaw blade (21) on the saw table (7) and set to the desired measure- ment.

• Press the clamping bar (25) down to fix the parallel stop (24) in place. In order to increase the clamping force of the clamping bar (25), rotate it clockwise until the parallel stop is sufficiently fixed in place.

• Make sure that the parallel stop (24) always runs parallel to the bandsaw blade (21).

10.3 Angled cuts (Fig. 17)

In order to execute angled cuts parallel to the bandsaw blade (21), it is possible to tilt the saw bench (7) forwards from 0° - 45°.

• Undo locking handle (20) and wing nut (31).

• Tilt saw bench (7) forwards, until the desired angle is set on the degree scale (17).

• Retighten the locking handle (20) and wing nut (31).

• Attention: With a tilted saw table (7), the parallel stop (24) must always be fitted to the right of the bandsaw blade (21) in the working direction. This prevents the workpiece from slipping.

11. 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 comprehensively to every use. They cannot treat every possible dangerous condition and must be interpreted carefully.

• Connect the machine to a suction unit when working in closed rooms.

• Loosen the sawband when the machine is not in operation (e.g. after finishing work). Attach a notice 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 sawband is running. Resin-covered sawbands impair working safety and must be cleaned regularly.

• For your own protection, wear protective glasses and hear- ing protection. Wear a hairnet if you have long hair. Roll up loose sleeves over the elbows.

• Always position the sawband guide as near the workpiece as possible when working.

• Insure sufficient lighting in the work area and around the machine.

• Always use the fence for straight cuts to keep the workpiece from tipping or slipping away.

• When working on narrow workpieces with manual feed, use the push stick.

• For diagonal cuts, place the saw bench in the appropriate position and guide the workpiece on the fence.

• In order to cut dovetail tenons and teeth or wedges, bring the saw table into the corresponding position on the angle scale.

• For arced and irregular cuts, push the workpiece evenly us- ing both hands with the fingers together. Hold the workpiece with your hands on a safe area.

• Use a pattern for repeated arced or irregular cuts.

• Insure that the workpiece does not roll when cutting round pieces.

• Attention! After every new setting, we recommend per- forming a test cut, in order to check the dimensional settings.

• With all cutting processes, the top saw band guide (5) must be positioned as close as possible to the workpiece (see 9.5).

• The workpiece must always be guided with both hands and kept flat against the saw table (7). This prevents the band- saw blade (21) 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 (24) for all cutting processes 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 possible to avoid drawing the workpiece back then the band saw must be switched off first. Only draw the workpiece back once the bandsaw blade (21) has come to a standstill.

• When sawing, the workpiece must always be guided by its longest side.

• Attention! When processing narrower workpieces it is es- sential to use a Push stick. The Push stick (26) must always be stored within reach, on the Push Stick retainer (48) provided for this purpose on the side of the saw.

11.1 Performing longitudinal cuts (Fig. 18)

Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction.

• Position the longitudinal fence (24) on the left side (if pos- sible) of the Bandsaw blade (21), in accordance with the desired width.

• Lower the saw band guide (5) onto the workpiece (9.5).

• Switch on the saw (see 10.1).

• Press one edge of the workpiece against the longitudinal fence (24) with the right hand, whilst the flat side lies on the saw bench (7).

• Slide the workpiece at an even feed rate along the longitudi- nal fence (24) into the Bandsaw blade (21).

• Important: Long workpieces must be secured against tipping at the end of the cutting process (e.g. with reel-off stand, etc.)10 GB/IE/NI

11.2 Performing angled cuts (Fig. 17)

• Set saw bench to desired angle (see 10.3).

• Perform the cut as described under 11.1. When producing angled cuts, only use the parallel stop to the right of the saw band.

11.3 Freehand cuts (Fig. 19)

• 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 9.5).

• Press the workpiece firmly onto the saw bench (7) and slow- ly slide into the bandsaw blade (21).

• In many cases it is helpful to roughly saw curves and corners approximately 6 mm from the line.

• If it is 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, so that these fall off as wood waste when the final radius is sawn.

12. Electrical connection

The electrical motor installed is connected and ready for op- eration. The connection complies with the applicable VDE and DIN provisions. The customer‘s mains connection as well as the extension cable used must also comply with these regulations. Important information In the event of an overloading the motor will switch itself off. Af- ter a cool-down period (time varies) the motor can be switched back on again. Damaged electrical connection cable The insulation on electrical connection cables is often dam- aged. This may have the following causes:

• Passage points, where connection cables are passed through windows or doors.

• Kinks where the connection cable has been improperly fas- tened or routed.

• Places where the connection cables have been cut due to being driven over.

• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall outlet.

• Cracks due to the insulation ageing. Such damaged electrical connection cables must not be used and are life-threatening due to the insulation damage. Check the electrical connection cables for damage regularly. Make sure that the connection cable does not hang on the power network during the inspection. Electrical connection cables must comply with the applicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use connection cables with the marking „H05VV-F“. The printing of the type designation on the connection cable is mandatory. AC motor:

• The mains voltage must be 230 - 240 V∼ 50 Hz.

• Extension cables up to 25 m long must have a cross-section of 1.5 mm
