Operating Instructions
Always guide the workpiece with both hands, holding it flat on the table (15) in order to
prevent the blade (26) from jamming.
Feed the workpiece at a uniform speed that enables the blade to cut through the material
without difficulty and without blocking.
Always use the parallel guide (24) on all cuts for which they are intended.
Always aim at making a complete cut in one pass rather than in a stop-and-go operation
requiring the workpiece to be withdrawn. If you have to withdraw the workpiece, switch off
the bandsaw first and wait for the blade (26) to stop before freeing the workpiece.
The workpiece must always be guided by the longer side during cutting.
lmportant!
When handling narrower workpiece, it is essential to use a Push Stick. The
Push Stick (e) must always be kept at the hook (d) on the side of the saw.(See Fig. P)
1. Longitudinal cuts (See Fig P)
Longitudinal cutting is when you use the saw to cut along the grain of the wood.
Place the parallel guide (24) to the left of the blade (26), as far as possible, for the width
required.
Lower the Blade Guide(11) down to the workpiece.
Switch on the saw.
Press the edge of the workpiece with your right hand to hold it securely against the Parallel
guide (24) and flat on the table (15).
Guide the workpiece along the parallel guide (24) and through the blade (26) at a uniform
speed.
Important: Long workpieces must be secured against falling off at the end of the cut (e.g.
with a roller stand etc.)
