• 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. ATTENTION: Never use bent or torn saw bands! 9.10. Replacing the saw band (Fig. 1a+1b+3+15)

• Set the saw band guide (5) at approx. half height between the saw table (7) and machine frame (16).

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 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 operation (e.g. after nishing work). Attach a no- tice 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 ap- propriate position and guide the workpiece on the fence. 9.11. Replacing the table insert (Fig. 14) In case of wear or damage, the table insert (6) must be replaced; 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 order. 9.12. Extraction nozzle (Fig. 1b) The band saw is equipped with an extraction nozzle (20) 100/40 mm for chips. Only operate the device with a suitable extraction sys- tem. Check and clean the suction channels at regular intervals. 9.13. Push Stick retainer (Fig. 13) The Push Stick retainer (48) is pre-mounted on the machine frame. If unused, the Push stick (27) must always be stowed in the Push Stick retainer.

ATTENTION! Always make sure the device is fully assembled before commissioning!

• 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. 17)

• Press the clamping bar (H) of the parallel stop (25) upwards

• Position the parallel stop (25) to the left or right of the saw blade (22) on the guide rail for the parallel stop and set to the desired measurement.

• Press the clamping bar (H) down to x the parallel stop (25) in place.

• Make sure that the parallel stop (25) always runs parallel to the Bandsaw blade (22). 10.3. Angled cuts (Fig. 2+12+19) In order to execute angled cuts parallel to the Band- saw blade (22), it is possible to tilt the saw bench (7) forwards from 0° - 45°.www.scheppach.com

• Slide the workpiece at an even feed rate along the longitudinal fence (25) into the Bandsaw blade (22).

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

11.2 Performing angled cuts (Fig. 19)

• Set saw bench to desired angle (see „Angled cuts“).

• 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. 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 9.5).

• Press the workpiece rmly onto the saw bench (7) and slowly slide into the Bandsaw blade (22).

• 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.

The machine must only be lifted and transported on its frame or the frame plate. Never lift the machine at the safety devices, the adjusting levers, or the sawing table. During the transport the saw blade protection must be in the lowest position and near the table. Never raise at the table! Unplug the machine from the mains during transport.

13. Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING! Prior to any adjustment, maintenance or service work disconnect the mains power plug! Cleaning Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor hous- ing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with com- pressed air at low pressure. We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have nished using it.

• 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. Attention! After every new setting, we recommend performing a test cut, in order to check the dimen- sional 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 at against the saw table (7). This prevents the Bandsaw blade (22) 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 (25) 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 (22) has come to a standstill.

• When sawing, the workpiece must always be guided by its longest side. ATTENTION! When processing narrower workpieces it is essential to use a Push stick. The Push stick (27) must always be stored within reach, on the Push Stick retain- er (48) provided for this purpose on the side of the saw.

11.1 Performing longitudinal cuts (Fig. 20)

Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction.

• Position the longitudinal fence (25) on the left side (if possible) of the Bandsaw blade (22), in accord- ance 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 longi- tudinal fence (25) with the right hand, whilst the at side lies on the saw bench (7).www.scheppach.com
