5. Safety information

General safety information for electric tools m WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc- tions, illustrations and specications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future ref- erence. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operat- ed (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Clut- tered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive at- mospheres, such as in the presence of am- mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while op- erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Nev- er modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec- tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con- ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.www.scheppach.com

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o󰀨. Any power tool that can- not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjust- ments, changing accessories, or storing pow- er tools. Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil- dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools and attachments. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, break- age of parts and any other condition that may af- fect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many acci- dents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions. Take into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations di󰀨erent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

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 consid- ered 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. m ATTENTION! Never use bent or torn saw bands!www.scheppach.com

The following safe working methods should be seen as an aid to safety. They cannot be applied suitably com- pletely 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 suc- tion in commercial areas.

• Loosen the sawband when the machine is not in op- eration (e.g. after nishing 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 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 su󰀩cient 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 appro- priate 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 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. m 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). m ATTENTION! Do not slide the stop rail (B) too far in the direction of the saw blade. m ATTENTION! When working with the machine, all protective devices and guards must be tted. The upper and lower bandwheel is protected by a xed guard and an articulated cover. When opening the cov- er, the machine is switched o󰀨. Starting is possible only with closed cover.

m ATTENTION! Always make sure the product is fully assembled before commissioning!

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

• 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 x 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 par- allel to the band saw blade (26).

9.3 Angled cuts (Fig. 20)

In order to execute angled cuts parallel to the band saw blade (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). m ATTENTION! With a tilted saw table (7), the parallel stop (14) must always be tted to the right of the band saw blade (26) in the working direction. This prevents the workpiece from slipping.

10. Working instructions

The following recommendations are examples of the safe use of band saws.www.scheppach.com

• Press the workpiece rmly onto the saw bench (7) and slowly slide into the Bandsaw blade (26).

• 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 o󰀨 as wood waste when the nal radius is sawn.

10.4 Executing cuts with the transverse cutting

gauge (Fig. 22 + Fig. 23)

• Set transverse cutting gauge (25) to the desired an- gle (see 8.16)

• Perform the cut as described under 10.1.

11. Electrical connection

The electrical motor installed is connected and ready for operation. The connection complies with the appli- cable VDE and DIN provisions. The customer‘s mains connection as well as the exten- sion cable used must also comply with these regulations. Important information In the event of an overloading the motor will switch it- self o󰀨. After a cool-down period (time varies) the mo- tor can be switched back on again. Damaged electrical connection cable The insulation on electrical connection cables is often damaged. This may have the following causes:

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

• Kinks where the connection cable has been improp- erly fastened 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 ap- plicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use connection cables with the marking „H05VV-F“.

• The workpiece must always be guided with both hands and kept at against the saw table (7). This prevents the Bandsaw blade (26) from jamming.

• Forward feeding should always take place with an even pressure, which is just su󰀩cient 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 o󰀨 rst. Only draw the workpiece back once the Bandsaw blade (26) has come to a standstill.

• When sawing, the workpiece must always be guided by its longest side. m ATTENTION! When processing narrower workpieces it is essential to use a Push stick. The Push stick (29) must always be stored within reach, on the Push Stick retainer (60) provided for this purpose on the side of the saw.

10.1 Performing longitudinal cuts (Fig. 19)

Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction.

• Position the longitudinal fence (14) on the left side (if possible) of the Bandsaw blade (26), in accordance with the desired width.

• Lower the saw band guide (5) onto the workpiece (8.9).

• Switch on the saw (see 9.1).

• Press one edge of the workpiece against the longi- tudinal fence (14) with the right hand, whilst the at side lies on the saw bench (7).

• Slide the workpiece at an even feed rate along the longitudinal fence (14) into the Bandsaw blade (26).

• Important: Long workpieces must be secured against tipping at the end of the cutting process (e.g. with reel-o󰀨 stand, etc.)

10.2 Performing 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).www.scheppach.com
