• The workpiece must always be guided
with both hands and held fl at on the
saw table (6). This prevents the band
saw blade (27) from jamming.
• The workpiece must always be fed with
even pressure, i.e. with just enough pres-
sure for the band saw blade to cut through
the material easily, without jamming.
• Always use the rip fence (20) for every
cutting procedure that it is intended for.
• It is better to make a cut in one pass
than cutting in several sections, as
this may require the workpiece to be
retracted. If retraction is, nevertheless,
unavoidable, the band saw must be
switched off fi rst. Only pull the work-
piece back after the band saw blade
(27) has come to a standstill.
• When sawing, the workpiece must al-
ways be guided by its longest side.
• Caution! A push stick (1) must be used
when machining narrow workpieces. The
push stick must always be kept to hand
on the holder on the side of the saw.
• Caution! After each new adjustment, we
recommend a trial cut in order to check
the set dimensions.
Switching on and sawing
Requirements
• You have inspected the machine for
obvious defects, such as defective safety
devices, loose, worn or damaged parts,
correct seating of screws or other parts,
and have remedied the defects.
• You have checked the band saw blade
for damage and replaced it if damaged.
• You have prepared and adjusted the
machine for the cut.
• You are not wearing gloves.
• You are wearing eye or hearing protection.
Before switching on
1.
Connect the machine fi rmly to the
base with 4 screws and nuts. The base
(18) has a hole in each corner for
screws (not included in delivery).
2. Insert the machine plug into a wall
socket.
3. Connect the connection for dust ex-
traction (17) to a vacuum cleaner.
Switch the vacuum cleaner on.
4. Lower the saw blade guard (5) until it
is 2 to 3 mm above the workpiece.
Switching on and sawing
1. Turn the machine on using the ON/
OFF switch (30). Press the I button.
2. Wait until the band saw blade (27)
has reached full speed.
3. Cut with a uniform forward motion
using gentle pressure. Never move the
workpiece backwards while the band
saw blade is running.
4. If you want to change settings on the
machine for the next cut: Turn the
machine off with the ON/OFF switch.
Press the
O button.
Straight cuts
Notes
• Always use the rip fence for straight cuts
to prevent the workpiece from tilting or
slipping.
• The rip fence can be mounted on both
sides of the saw blade.
• After each new adjustment, we recom-
mend a trial cut in order to check the set
dimensions.
Mounting the rip fence

1. Open the quick release lever of the rip
fence (20).
