GBSawband Selecting the correct sawband is decisive for cutting performance. Observethe table of the Ope- rating Instructions. Narrow sawbands can cut smaller radii than broad saw bands. The smallest radius for blade widths 6/10/15/ 25mm 25/40/75/185 mm Use only sharpened, awless sawbands. Faulty sawbands increase the risk of accidents and reduce cutting performance. Changing sawbands Fig.“8“ The machine is delivered with a new, standard sawband (15 mm). The sawband may only be changed when the mains plug is pulled! Always wear suitable gloves when handling sawbands! The sawband is loosened for removal by turning the upper handle counterclockwise. The new sawband is tensioned by turning the upper handle clockwise. IMPORTANT when installing a sawband:

• Reset the counterpressure bearings and guide rollers.

• Check sawband for aws (cracks, broken teeth) before installation.

• Check the running direction of the sawband before placing onto the band wheels.Teeth should point downwards towards the saw bench.

• The sawband must be placed between the upper and lower guide rollers.

• Tighten the placed sawband lightly.

• Tum the band wheel clockwise by hand and carry out the nal tightening while the band is running evenly.

• Broad sawbands must be tensioned more rmly than narrow ones.

• Overtensioning of the sawband can lead to premature breakage. Sawband path side correction Fig.“9“ Side correction may only be carried out with the machine at a tull stop and with the mains plug pulled! The sawband must run on the center of the band wheels. Loosen the knurled nuts (1) on the under- side of the of the handle. Turn the upper band wheel by hand in the cutting direction while simultaneously tuming the handle to the right (+). The saw band then runs more toward the rear. When the sawband runs evenly, re-tighten the knurled nuts on the handle. Counterpressure bearing Fig. „10“ lnsure that the sawband runs evenly before setting the counterpressure bearing. The setting must be carried out while the ma- chine is at a full stop! The counterpressure bearings take the feed pres- sure of the workpiece. Set the counterpressure bearings above and below saw bench so that they contact the sawband lightly. Tum the band wheel by hand in the sawing direction at the same time. The counterpressure bearings must run with the sawband during operation. Reset the counterpressure bearings every time the sawband is changed! Guide rollers Fig.“11“ lnsure that the sawband runs evenly before setting the guide rollers. The setting must be carried out while the ma- chine is at a full stop! The guide rollers take the side pressure of the workpiece. Reset the guide rollers above and below saw bench to the suitable sawband width. They may reach up to the base of the teeth of the sawband. Set the guide rollers so that they contact the saw- band lightly. Tum the band wheel by hand in the sawing direction at the same time. The guide rollers must run with the sawband during operation. The sawband must not jam! Reset guide rollers every time the sawband is changed! Cutting height adjustment Fig.“12“ The setting must be carried out while the ma- chine is at a full stop! The cutting height is adjustable from 0 - 300 mm over the beneh. Height adjustment is carried out continually using the large hand wheel and remains in any position due to the automatie clamping function. For your own safety, always set the sawband guide as close to the workpiece as possible.

GBSawbench Fig.“13“ The saw bench is set at the factory. The continuous saw bench swing range reaches trom + 47° to - 20°. The greatest swing range allows 45° mitered cuts. The setting must be carried out while the ma- chine is at a tull stop! One can readjust the bench at a 90° angle to the sawband using the setting screw (1) under the bench. (Use a square as an aid)! Table adjustment to + 47°

• Loosen both lock levers (2).

• Tum the handle (3) clockwise.

• Re-tighten the lock handles (2) in the desired position according to the scale. Table adjustment to - 20°

• Loosen both lock levers (2).

• Tum the handle (3) one quarter revolution to the right and swing the adjustment screw (1) on the ball handle to the lett.

• Tum the handle (3) counterclockwise.

• Re-tighten the lock handles (2) in the desired position according to the scale. Test the exact angle setting of the table with a sampie piece before beginning work. Parallel alignment of the sawband to the saw bench Fig. „14“ Exact parallel alignment is especially important for work with the traverse cutting gauge special accessory. Check parallel alignment with the fence rail and a low angle. Place the fence rail on the saw band running upwards and downwards. Place the low angle on the fence rail as weil as along the longitudinal groove. If there are deviations, loosen the 8 hexagonal nuts of the table attachment swinging segment and readjust the saw bench appropriately. Re-tighten the hexagonal nuts rmly! Set-Up Prepare the workplace where the machine is to be placed. Insure sufcient room to allow safe work without malfunctions. The machine is designed to operate in closed rooms and must be placed stabily on rm level ground. Stability is insured by attachment to the ground with 4 screws. At least 2 persons are required to lower the machine from the pallet. Starting in the working position, tip the machine to the left and pull out the pallet to the right. Working information 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. A suction device which conforms with commercial regulations must be used for suction in commercial areas.

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

• For your own protection, wear protective glasses and hearing 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 sufcient 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.

• To cut dove-tails and dove-tailed tenons or wedges swing the saw bench to the plus or minus position. Insure safe workpiece guidance.

• For arced and irregular cuts, push the workpiece

GBevenly using both hands with the ngers 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.

• Use the traverse cutting gauge special acces- sory for safety when making traverse cuts.

• To safely cut round plates, use the circular cut- ting unit special accessory. Electrical Connection The installed electric motor is connected and is ready to work. The connection complies with the relevant VDE and DIN regulations. The customer-side mains supply and the used extension line must meet these regulations. Installations, repair, and maintenance work relating to the electric installation may only be performed by specialists. Important Notes The electric motor has been designed for the S 1 operating mode. In case of an overload of the motor, it turns off automatically. After a cooling period (duration varies), you can turn on the motor again. Defective Electric Connection Lines Often, insulation damages occur on electrical connection lines. Causes are:

1. Drag marks if connection lines are led through

window or door clearances.

2. Kinks due to improper attachment or routing of

the connection line.

3. Cuts caused by running over the connection

4. Insulation damages caused by pulling the con-

nection line out of the wall socket.

5. Fissures caused by the ageing of the insulation.

Such defective electric connection lines must not be used and are hazardous due to the insulation damages. Regularly check the electrical connection lines for damages. Please make sure that the connection lines are disconnected from the mains supply during the check. Electrical connection lines must comply with the relevant VDE and DIN regulations. Only use con- nection lines labelled with H 07 RN. The labelling of the connection cable with the type specication is required. AC motor

1. The supply voltage must be 230 V / 50 Hz.

2. Extension lines up to a length of 25 m must

have a cross section of 1.5 square millimetres. Extension lines with a length of more than 25 m must have a minimum cross section of 2.5 square millimetres.

3. The mains connection is protected with a delay-

action fuse of 16 A. Rotary current motor

1. The supply voltage must be 400 V / 50 Hz.

2. Mains supply and extension line must be ve-

wire = 3 P + N + SL.

3. Extension lines must have a minimum cross

section of 1.5 square millimetres.

4. The mains connection is protected with a maxi-

5. In case of mains supply or change of location,

the direction of rotation must be checked. If required, the polarity must be reversed. If you have further questions, please specify the following:

1. Motor manufacturer

2. Kind of current of the motor

3. Data from the machine type plate

4. Data from the switch type plate

If you return the motor, always return the com- plete drive unit with the switch. Maintenance Carry out retting, setting measurement and cleaning work only when the motor is switched off. Pull the plug and wait for the sawband to come to a full stop. An experience worker can carry out minor- repairs on the machine himself. Repair and maintenance work on the electrical system may only be carried out by a qualied electrician. All protective and safety devices must be re- attached immediately after completed repair and maintenance work.

• The swinging segments of the bench, the saw- band tensioning unit and the guide of the cutting height adjustment unit must always move easily. Treat these parts with a lubricant spray when necessary to maintain these functions.

• Clean the sawband regularly. Wood leaves resin remnants which stick to the sawband and impair working safety and performance.

• Keep the bench surface free of resin.

• Do not use cleaning agents or thinners which are easily ammable or which emit harmful vapors to clean the sawband and bench. Use the concentrated resin remover special accessory.

• Check sawbands regularly for faults. Replace faulty sawbands immediately.

• Check saw bench insert. Replace wom saw bench insert.

• Rubber lining of the band wheels The rubber lining of the band wheels becomes ripped and worn by the metal sawband over time. Exact sawband alignment is then no longer possible. Working safety and performance are impaired. Replace the band wheels! Replacement wheels can be ordered from your scheppach dealer as with allother replacement parts.

• Check the setting of the sawband guide regularly and readjust it if necessary. Remove the sawband guide for readjustment.
