3. Initial Operation

ENGLISH Do not operate the machine near inflammable liquids or gases. The machine shall only be started and operated by persons familiar with bandsaws and who are at any time aware of the dangers associ

ated with the operation of such machine.

Persons under 18 years of age shall use this device only in the course of their vocational training, under the supervision of an instructor. Keep bystanders, particularly chil- dren, out of the danger zone. Do not permit other persons to touch the machine or power cable while it is running. Do not overload device – use it only within the performance range it was designed for (see “Technical Speci

Danger! Risk of electric shock! Do not expose machine to rain. Do not operate the machine in damp or wet environment. Prevent body contact with earthed objects such as radiators, pipes, cooking stoves, refrigerators when operating this device. Do not use the power cable for any purpose it is not intended for.

Risk of injury by moving parts! Do not operate the machine without installed guards. Always keep sufficient distance to the band saw blade. Use suitable feeding aids if necessary. Keep suf

ficient distance to driven compo- nents when operating the electric tool. Wait for the band saw blade to come to a complete stop before removing cutoffs, scrap, etc. from the work area. Cut only stock of dimensions that allow for safe and secure holding while cutting. Do not attempt to stop the band saw blade by pushing the workpiece against its side. Ensure the tool is disconnected from power before servicing. When turning ON the machine (e.g. after servicing) ensure that no tools or loose parts are left on or in the machine. Unplug the tool when not in use.

Cutting hazard, even with the cutting tool at standstill! Wear gloves when changing cutting tools. Store band saw blades in such man- ner that nobody will get hurt.

Risk of kickback (workpiece is caught by the band saw blade and thrown against the operator)! Do not jam workpieces. Cut thin or thin-walled work pieces only with fine-toothed band saw blades. Always use sharp band saw blades. If in doubt, check workpiece for inclusion of foreign matter (e.g. nails or screws). Cut only stock of dimensions that allow for safe and secure holding while cutting. Never cut several workpieces at the same time – and also no bundles containing several individual pieces. Risk of personal injury if individual pieces are caught by the band saw blade uncontrolled. When cutting round stock, use a suitable jig to prevent the workpiece from turning.

Drawing-in/trapping hazard! Ensure that no parts of the body or clothing can be caught and drawn in by rotating components (no neck

ties, no gloves, no loose-fitting clothes; contain long hair with hair

net). Never saw workpieces containing the following materials: ropes strings cords cables wires.

Danger due to insufficient per- sonal protection equipment! Wear hearing protection. Wear safety goggles. Wear dust mask. Wear suitable work clothes. When working outdoors wearing of non-slip shoes is recommended.

Risk of injury by inhaling wood dust! Some types of wood dust (e.g. oak, beech and ash) may cause cancer when inhaled. Work only with a suit

able dust extractor attached to the saw. The dust collector must comply with the specifications stated in the Technical Data. Make sure that as little as possible wood dust can escape into the envi- ronment: remove wood dust deposit in the work area (do not blow away!); fix any leakages on the dust col- lector; keep your work area well venti- lated at all times.

Hazard generated by modifica- tion of the machine or use of parts not tested and approved by the manu- facturer! Strictly follow these instructions when assembling the device. Use only parts approved by the manufacturer. This applies espe

cially for: band saw blades (see “Technical Specifications” for stock nos.); safety devices (see "Spare parts list" for stock numbers). Do not change any parts.

Hazard generated by tool defects! Keep device and accessories in good repair. Observe the mainte

nance instructions. Prior to any use check the machine for possible damage: before operat

ing the machine all safety devices, protective guards or slightly dam- aged parts need to be checked for proper function as specified. Check to see that all moving parts work properly and do not jam. All parts must be correctly installed and meet all conditions necessary for a proper operation of the device. Before switching on: Check if saw blade coasts down for more than 10 seconds; if more than 10 seconds, have motor replaced by a qualified electrician. Damaged protection devices or parts must be repaired or replaced by a qualified specialist. Have dam

aged switches replaced by a service centre. Do not operate tool if the switch cannot be turned ON or OFF. Keep handles free of oil and grease.

Danger from blocking work- pieces or workpiece parts! If blockage occurs:

4.3 Symbols on the machine

Danger! Disregard of the following warnings could lead to serious personal injury or material damage. Read instructions. Unplug mains cable. Band saw blade running direction. Information on the nameplate:

Upper blade guard The upper blade guard (37) protects against unintentional contact with the saw blade and from chips flying about. In order for the upper blade guard to pro- vide adequate protection against contact with the band saw blade, it must always be set as close as possible against the workpiece (max. distance 3 mm). Lower blade guard The lower blade guard (38) protects against inadvertent contact with the band saw blade below the saw table. The lower blade guard must be installed during operation. Housing doors The housing doors (36) protect against contact with the rotating parts inside the machine. The housing doors are equipped with interlocking contacts. These turn the motor OFF when one housing door is opened while the saw is running. The housing doors must be closed while the machine is in use. Push stick The push stick serves as an extension of the hand and protects against accidental contact with the saw blade. The push stick must always be used if the distance between band saw blade and a rip fence is less than 120 mm. Guide the push stick at an angle of 20 … 30 against the saw table's sur- face. When the push stick is not used, it can be stored on the push stick holder pro- vided at the band saw frame. Replace the push stick if damaged. Set upper blade guide to its lowest position. Remove projecting accessories. Transport the saw with the help of a second person. For transport use the original pack- ing where possible.

Note: In this chapter the essential oper- ating elements of the machine are intro- duced. The proper use of the saw is detailed in chapter “Operation”. Read this chapter before using the saw for the first time. ON/OFF switch To start = press green switch button (39).

In the event of a power failure an under- voltage relay will trip. This prevents the starting of the machine when the power is restored. To restart, the green switch button must be pressed. Turn-lock fastener, housing door Open and close the housing door using the turn-lock fastener (41). Opening the housing door:

1. Rotate the upper turn-lock fastener

clockwise approx. one turn and the lower turn-lock fastener anticlock- wise approx. one turn. The housing door opens slightly. This activates the door interlock which switches the motor off. 28 Manufacturer 29 Serial number 30 Machine designation 31 Motor specifications (see also "Technical Specifications") 32 CE mark – This machine meets the EC directives as per declara

tion of conformity 33 Waste disposal symbol – Device can be disposed of by returning it to the manufacturer 34 Date of manufacture 35 Dimensions of approved band saw blades

Danger from exposed bandsaw blades and wheels! If after one turn the motor does not switch off or the door immediately opens wide, the door interlock or the closure system is defective. Shut down the saw and return it to the Ser

vice Centre in your country for repair.

2. Rotate the turn-lock fastener further.

The housing door opens wide. Closing the housing door: Press on the housing door and rotate the upper turn-lock fastener anticlockwise and the lower turn- lock fastener clockwise all the way. The housing door is completely con- tacting the housing. Setting knob for band saw blade ten- sion With the setting knob (42) the band saw blade tension is corrected, if necessary: Turning the setting knob clockwise increases the blade tension.

Turning the setting knob counter- clockwise reduces the blade tension. Setting knob for blade tracking adjustment With the setting knob (43) the tilt of the upper band saw wheel can be adjusted, if necessary. This tracking adjustment is required to have the blade run dead cen

tre on the rubber tyres of the band saw wheels: turning clockwise = blade moves to the rear Turning counter-clockwise = blade moves to the front. Setting knob for drive belt tension With the setting knob (44) the drive belt tension is corrected, if necessary: Turning the adjustment knob anti- clockwise decreases the blade ten- sion. Turning the setting knob clockwise increases the blade tension. Saw table tilt After loosening the locking screw (46) the saw table (45) tilts steplessly through 20° against the blade. Rip fence The rip fence (47) is clamped to the front. The rip fence can be used on both sides of the blade.

6.1 Aligning the saw table

The saw table needs to be aligned in two planes laterally, in order for the blade to run dead centre through the table insert; at right angles to the band saw blade. Saw table lateral alignment

(58) to the saw table with the four thumb screws and washers.

6.9 Mains connection

Danger! High voltage Operate saw in dry environment only. Operate saw only on a power source matching the following requirements (see also 'Technical Data'): mains voltage and system fre- quency conform to the voltage and frequency shown on the device's name plate; fuse protection by a residual current operated device (RCD) of 30 mA sensitivity; outlets properly installed, earthed, and tested; three-phase outlets with neu- tral wire installed;

Note: Check with your local Electricity Board or electrician if in doubt whether your house service connection meets these requirements. Position power supply cable in a way that it does not interfere with the work and is not damaged. Protect power supply cable from heat, aggressive liquids and sharp edges. Use only rubber-insulated exten- sion cables of sufficient lead cross section (3 x 1.5 mm

, for machines with 3-phase motor: 5 x 1.5 mm

Do not pull on power supply cable to unplug.

change of direction of rotation (only for version with AC motor): This can lead to the workpiece being hurled away when attempting to make a cut. The direction of rotation must therefore be checked every time the saw is connected to another outlet.

If the direction of rotation is incorrect, the electrical connection must be changed by a qualified electrician!

1. After the saw and all of its safety

devices have been assembled, con

nect it to the mains supply.

2. Start saw and switch OFF immedi-

tion of the band saw blade: In the cutting area the band saw blade must run downwards.

4. If the band saw blade turns in the

wrong correction, unplug the power supply cable at the saw.

5. Have the electric supply changed by

a qualified electrician!

Danger! To reduce the risk of personal injury as much as possible, the following safety recommendations should be observed when operating the saw. Use personal protection equip- ment: dust respirator; hearing protection; safety goggles. Cut only one work piece at a time. Always hold the work piece down on the table. Do not jam the workpiece. Do not attempt to stop the band saw blade by pushing the work

piece against its side. Sawing of bowed or irregular work pieces: hold the workpiece firmly against the table and feed in at a uniform speed. Keep your hands in the safe area. If the type of work requires, use the following: push stick – if distance rip fence – band saw blade less than 120 mm; work support – for long stock, which would otherwise fall off the table on completion of the cut; dust collector; a circle cutting device when cutting circular pieces; a guide when cutting small wedges; an appropriate jig when cutting round stock, to keep it from turning;

ENGLISH 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 more than one work- piece at a time – and also no bun- dles containing several individual pieces. Risk of personal injury if individual pieces are caught by the saw blade uncontrolled.

Drawing-in/trapping 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 and wires are attached or which contain such materials.

7.1 Adjusting the Upper

Blade Guide The height of the upper blade guide (66) needs to be adjusted: prior to every cutting operation, to accommodate the height of the workpiece (the upper blade guide should be set approx. 3 mm above the workpiece); after adjustments of band saw blade or saw table (e.g. band saw blade change, tensioning of the band saw blade, saw table alignment).

Danger! Turn the machine OFF and wait for the band saw blade to stop before adjusting the upper blade guide or the saw table.

2. Slacken the V-belt by turning the

tension crank handle anticlockwise.

3. Put V-belt on the required pulley of

the driving wheel (lower band saw wheel) and the corresponding motor pulley – note label inside the lower housing door.

Caution! The V-belt must run either on both front or both rear pulleys. Never have the V-belt run diagonally! V-belt on front pulley = low speed, high torque. V-belt on rear pulleys = high speed, low torque.

4. Re-tighten the V-belt by rotating the

crank clockwise (the V-belt must be able to be depressed in the middle about 10 mm).

5. Close the lower housing door.

1. Check the band saw blade tension

(see 'Tensioning the band saw blade').

2. If necessary, adjust the table tilt.

3. Select rip fence and table tilt for the

type of cutting operation to be car- ried out.

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.

Note: Always make a trial cut in a piece of scrap to verify settings; correct if nec- essary before cutting the workpiece.

5. Place workpiece on the saw table.

7. Cut workpiece in a single pass.

8. Switch off if no further cutting is to

be done immediately afterwards.

9. If no further cutting is to be done

immediately afterwards: decrease the bandsaw blade tension and attach a notice indicating that the bandsaw blade tension must be reset prior to the next cutting opera

Danger! Prior to all servicing:

1. switch machine OFF;

2. Wait for saw blade to stop

3. Unplug mains cable.

Check that all safety devices are operational again after each service. Replace damaged parts, especially safety devices, with genuine replacement parts only, since parts not tested and approved by the manufacturer can cause unforesee

able damage. Repair and maintenance work other than described in this section should only be carried out by qualified spe

Danger! If the table insert is damaged, small objects may get caught between the table insert and the kerf plate and block the saw blade. Replace dam

aged table inserts immediately! Speed adjustment By shifting the drive belt the band saw can be operated at two speeds (see “Technical specifications”): 408 m/min for hard wood, plastics and non-ferrous metals (with special band saw blade); 965 m/min for all kinds of wood.

Caution! The drive belt must not run in a diago- nal position; this will damage the belt
