The material is cut by means of an endless steel band provided
with saw teeth.
The material is fed -through the saw by hand.
The band-saw is suitable for rip-sawing, cross-cutting, and

possible to cut circles and curved lines.
Slots and tenons can easily be cut with the aid of the
adjustable parallel fence M 6.23.

FITTING AND REMOVING BAND-SAW BLADE:
Removal:
l. The three knurled nuts M 6 DIN 466 {Photo B 52) are
unscrewed by hand, and the cover plate M 6. 00-20 is
then I ifted off the studs. It may be necessary to pu II the
pins on the lower band-saw guide apart before the cover
plate is removed. This can be done if the two knurled
bolts M 6 x 15 DIN 464 are slackened off {Photo BS 5).
2. The knurled bolts M 6 x 15 DIN 653 on the guide head
M 6. 15 {upper band-saw guide) (Photo BS 4) must be
slackened off and the pins M 6.15-01 pulled apart. The
band-saw guard can .i,en be simply pulled out of the
guide head.
3. By means of the regulating screw M 6.29 (Photo BS 3)
it is possible to reduce the blade tension.
