10. Working instructions

The following recommendations are examples for safe use of the band saws.

The following safe working methods are considered to contribute to safety but may not be appropriate, fully or extensively applicable for every use. They cannot cover all possible hazardous conditions and must be interpreted carefully.

• When working in enclosed spaces, connect the machines to a suction system.
• If the machine is not in operation, e.g. work is complete, slacken the saw band. Attach a corresponding note to the machine for the next user about the tensioning of the saw band.
• Store unused saw bands together and safely in a dry place. Check for faults (teeth, cracks) before use. Do not use defective saw bands!

- Wear suitable gloves when handling saw bands.

- Before starting work, all guards and safety devices on the machine must be securely fitted.

- Never clean the saw band or the saw band guide with a hand-held brush or scraper if the saw band is running. Resinous saw bands jeopardise work safety and must be cleaned regularly.

- Wear safety goggles and hearing protection when working for your personal protection. Wear a hair net with long hair. Roll loose sleeves up above the elbows.

• Always position the saw band guide as close as possible to the workpiece when working.

- Make sure that the lighting conditions in the working and surrounding area of the machine are sufficient.

- Always use the longitudinal stops for straight cuts in order to prevent the workpiece from tilting or slipping.

- Use the push stick for processing narrow workpieces with manual advance.

- For angled cuts, bring the saw table into the appropriate position and guide the workpiece along the longitudinal stop.

- In order to cut dovetail tenons and teeth or wedges, swivel the saw table into the plus and minus position. Ensure that the workpiece is guided safely.

• On curved and irregular cuts, advance the workpiece using both hands, keeping your fingers closed. Keep your hands on a safe area of the workpiece.
• For repeated cutting of curve, irregular cuts, use an auxiliary template.
• Secure the workpiece against turning when cutting round pieces of wood.
• For safe work when transverse cutting, use the special transverse cutting gauge accessory.

10.1 Performing longitudinal cuts (Fig. A)

Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction.

1. Set the parallel stop (5) on the right or left side of the saw band according to the desired width.
2. Lower the saw band guide (4) onto the workpiece. (see 8.9) Switching on the saw.
3. Press one edge of the workpiece against the parallel stop (5) with the right hand, whilst the flat side lies on the saw table (7).
4. Slide the workpiece at an even feed rate along the parallel stop (5) into the saw band. Important: Long workpieces must be secured against tilting at the end of the cutting process (e.g. with roller stand, etc.)

Attention! When processing narrower workpieces it is essential to use a push rod.

The push stick (R) must always be stored within reach, on the hook (j) provided for this purpose on the side of the saw. (Fig. 17)

10.2 Performing angled cuts (Fig. 6 + Fig. B)

In order to execute angled cuts parallel to the saw band, it is possible to tilt the saw table (7) forwards from 0^ - 45^ .

1. Loosen the locking handle (E).
2. Tilt saw table (7) forwards, until the desired angle is set on the graduated scale (1).
3. Retighten locking handle (E). Attention: With a tilted saw table (7), the parallel stop (5) must be positioned on the downward facing side to the right of the saw band in the working direction (if the workpiece width allows this), in order to secure the workpiece against slipping.
4. Perform the cut as described under 10.1.

10.3 Freehand cuts (Fig. C)

One of the most important features of a band saw is the ease with which it can cut curves and radii.

1. Lower the saw band guide (4) onto the workpiece. (see 8.9)
2. Switch on the saw.
3. Press the workpiece firmly onto the saw table (7) and slowly slide into the saw band.

4. During freehand cutting you should always work with a low advancing speed, so that the saw band can follow the desired line.

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

6. 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.

10.4 Executing cuts with the transverse cutting gauge (Fig. D + Fig. 18) (optional)

1. Set transverse cutting gauge (14) to the desired angle (see 8.10)
2. Perform the cut as described under 10.1.
