Commissioning
Setting up the device
Unpack the Micro bandsaw and check the scope of deliv-
ery for completeness.
Caution!
Do not connect the device to the 230 volt mains yet!
Important:
Please note that all adjusting and mounting work on the
saw may only be done if the mains plug is not plugged in!
When transporting, please handle the saw with the neces-
sary caution and never use separating safety mecha-
nisms to lift or even carry the device!
This could damage the mechanisms, causing them to be-
come inoperative. Risk of injury!
Caution:
When transporting the saw, always make sure that the
saw band guide with the saw band guard is in the bottom-
most position (see section "Adjusting the position of the
upper saw band guard")
For safety reasons, use 5 wood screws to screw the de-
vice to a sturdy work table (Fig. 2).
Assembling the work table
Unscrew the brass screw plug 1 at the sawing gap (Fig. 3)
of the work table.
1. Insert the work table 3 (Fig. 4) into the designated cut-
out and fasten with the star knob screw (2) and the flat
washer (1). Please pay attention to the angle display!
For straight cuts, adjust the marking to "0".
2. Screw the brass screw plug 1 (Fig. 3) back on.
Things to know about commissioning
and on working
Caution:
Always wear hearing protection when working with the de-
vice!
• Please remember that there are several rules that re-
duce the noise development of the machine: Always se-
lect the correct saw band for your work task! It is
particularly important that the band is suitable for the
material to be sawn.
• The bandsaw must be connected to a dust extraction.
• The saw may not be operated when its housing is open!
• The saw band guide 8 (Fig. 1) must be guided as close
to the work piece as possible. See "Adjusting the upper
saw band guide".
• When sawing round materials, please bear in mind that
these could turn with the movement of the saw band and
therefore must be held particularly tightly!
• Please use a suitable holding device for the work piece!
• Before beginning the sawing work, you absolutely must
adjust the correct speed for the saw band and the mate-
rial to be sawn!
• Try to keep the saw band from blocking. This operating
state stresses the machine mechanics and causes in-
creased wear to the drive components. Blocking can be
prevented by adjusting the feed speed, the saw band
speed and the feed force to the requirements of the work
piece, especially with regard to the material.
• Never slow down the band speed through too high a
feed. If the saw band does block and stop, simply re-
duce the feed force a bit to permit it to “run free” again.
• In general: High band speed for thin material, and low
band speed for thicker material.
• Adapt the belt speed or belt tension in case of occurring
vibration.
• Use only flawless saw bands; immediately replace dull
and distorted saw bands.
• Never let the device run unsupervised!
• Caution: When working with larger work pieces, make
sure these pieces are guided securely and that they are
supported beyond the saw table, if required!
