Working instructions
HBS20
Only draw the workpiece back once the saw band (21) 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 (26) must always be stored within reach, on the push stick
retainer (48) provided for this purpose on the side of the saw.
Performing longitudinal cuts (Fig. 18)
Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction.
• Position the parallel stop (24) on the left side (if possible) of the saw band (21), in
accordance with the desired width.
• Lower the top saw guide (5) onto the workpiece.
• Switch on the saw.
• Press one edge of the workpiece against the parallel stop (24) with the right hand,
whilst the flat side lies on the saw table (7).
• Slide the workpiece at an even feed rate along the parallel stop (24) into the saw
band (21).
• Important:
Long workpieces must be secured against tipping at the end of the
cutting process (e.g. with reel-off stand, etc.)
Performing angled cuts (Fig. 17)
• Set saw table to desired angle (see “Angled cuts“).
• Perform the cut as described under “Performing longitudinal cuts“.
When producing angled cuts, only use the parallel stop to the right of the saw band.
Freehand cuts (Fig. 19)
One of the most important features of a bandsaw is the ease with which it can cut
curves and radii.
• Lower the top saw band guide (5) onto the workpiece.
• Switch on the saw.
•
Press the workpiece firmly onto the saw table (7) and slowly slide into the saw
band (21).
• 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.
