• 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 stop (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requiring the workpiece to be withdrawn.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.
Importanti When handling narrower workpieces, it is essential to use a push stick. The
push stick (28) must always be kept close at hand at the hook (29) provided for that purpose
on the side of the saw
7.1. Longitudinal cuts (Figure 20)
Longitudinal cutting is when you use the saw to cut along the grain of the wood.
• Place the parallel stop (24) to the left of the blade (25), as far as possible, for the width
required.
• Guide the workpiece along the parallel stop (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.)
7.2. Making angular cuts (Fig. 19)
• Set the saw table to the desired angle (see 8.3).
• Carry out the cut as described in 9.1.
7.3. Freehanded cuts (Figure 21)
One of the most outstanding features of a band saw is the ease with which it allows you to
make curved cuts and radii.
• Lower the blade guide (11 ) to the workpiece (see 7.5).
• Switch on the saw.
• Hold the workpiece securely on the table (15) and guide slowly through the blade (26).
• Freehanded cuts should be made at low feed speed so that you can guide the blade (26)
along the required line.
• It often pays to first cut off surplus curves and comers up to about 6 mm from the cutting
line.
• In the case of curves which are too tight for the blade to cut correctly, it can help to make
a series of close-lying cuts at right angles to the curved line. When you saw the radius the
material will simply drop off.
8. Transport
To transport the bandsaw, hold the supporting foot (5) with one hand and the frame (25)
with the other hand. Importanti Never use guards to lift or transport the equipment.
9. Maintenance
• Caution) Pull out the power plug first.
• Remove dust and dirt regularly from the bandsaw. Cleaning is best carried out with a fine
brush or a cloth.
• Do not use caustic cleaning agents for cleaning plastic.
10. Disposal.
The machine, accessories and packaging should be sorted for
environmental-friendly recycling. The plastic components are labelled for
categorized recycling. Do not dispose of power tools into household waste!
According the European Guideline 2002/96/EC for Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment and its implementation into national right, power tools
that are no longer usable must be collected separately and disposed of in an
environmentally correct manner.
