•
Forward feeding should always take place with an
even pressure, which is just sufficient for the saw
band to cut through the material with ease without
becoming blocked.
•
Always use the longitudinal fence (5) for all cutting
processes 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
possible to avoid drawing the workpiece back then
the band saw must be switched off first, and the
workpiece only drawn back once the saw band has
come to a standstill.
•
When sawing, the workpiece must always be guid -
ed by its longest side.
•
Perform the cut as described under „Performing
longitudinal cuts“.
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 hook pro -
vided for this purpose on the side of the saw (Fig. 2).
10.5 Executing cuts with the transverse cutting
gauge (Fig. E+F + Fig. 20)
•
Set transverse cutting gauge (30) to the desired
angle (see 10.2)
•
Lower the saw band guide (4) onto the workpiece.
•
Switch on the saw.
•
Press the workpiece against the cross-cut gauge
and slide it onto the saw blade at an even rate of
feed.
10.6 Freehand cuts (Fig. D+C)
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 (4) onto the workpiece.
•
Switch on the saw.
•
Press the workpiece firmly onto the saw bench (6)
and slowly slide into the saw band.
•
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
off as wood waste when the final radius is sawn.
Attention!
For all cutting operations, the upper saw blade guid-
ance (4) should be as close as possible to the work -
piece.
•
To do this, open the adjustment handle for saw
blade safety device (13). (Fig. 2)
•
Lower the upper saw blade guide (4) and the saw
blade guard (3) as close as possible to the work -
piece.
11. Cleaning and maintenance
Important.
Warning! Prior to any adjustment, maintenance or
service work disconnect the mains power plug!
General maintenance measures
Wipe chips and dust off the machine from time to
time using a cloth. In order to extend the service life
of the tool, oil the rotary parts once monthly. Do not
oil the motor.
When cleaning the plastic do not use corrosive prod -
ucts.
Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device immedi -
ately each time you have finished using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or
solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the
equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the
device. The ingress of water into an electric tool i
creases the risk of an electric shock.
Maintenance
•
Always replace damaged tailstocks (new for old).
•
There is a limit switch inside the device that switch-
es off the machine as soon as the housing cover is
opened. This also prevents the machine from being
switched back on while the housing cover remains
open. Always ensure that this unit functions cor -
rectly.
•
Since the machine is equipped with a mechanical
brake, check the run-on and braking times of the
machine at regular intervals. This must not exceed
10 seconds. If the measured shut-down time ex -
ceeds 10 seconds, do not continue operating the
machine. Contact after-sales service.
•
In the course of time, the rubber wrapping on the
blade wheels develops cracks and gets worn. This
prevents the saw blade from operating precisely.
Workplace safety and machine operation are ad -
versely affected by this.
Replace the blade wheels!

12. Storage
Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry
and frost-proof place that is inaccessible to children.
The optimum storage temperature is between 5 and
30˚C.
Cover the electrical tool in order to protect it from
dust and moisture.
Store the operating manual with the electrical tool.
