securely fixed.
You must always ensure that the parallel stop (24) is
positioned parallel to the blade (26).
12.3. angular cuts (See Fig. O)
To enable you to perform angular cuts parallel to the
blade (26), the table (15) can be tilted forwards between
0
o
-45
o
.
Undo the Fixing handles (18).
Tilt the saw Table (15) forwards until the required angle
value is set on the Dial scale (16).
Re-tighten the Fixing handles (18).
ImPORTanT: When the table (15) is tilted, place the
parallel stop (24) to the right of the blade (26) looking
in the direction hi which you are working, on the side
pointing downwards (provided the workpiece is wide
enough) in order to stop the workpiece from slipping off.
OPERaTIOn
Before putting the machine into operation
Make sure the machine stands securely, i.e. bolt it to a
workbench or solid base. There are two holes for this
purpose in the machine foot.
The saw table must be mounted correctly.
All covers and safety devices have to be properly fitted
before the machine is switched on.
It must be possible for the blade to run freely.
When working with wood that has been processed
before, watch out for foreign bodies such as nails or
screws etc.
Before you actuate the On/off switch, make sure that
the saw blade is correctly fitted and that the machine’s
moving parts run smoothly.
Before you connect the machine to the power supply,
make sure the data on the rating plate is the same as
that for your machine.
CauTIOn! After every new adjustment we recommend
you to make a trial cut iin order to check the new
settings.
For all cutting operations It is important to position the
blade Guide (11) as close as possible to the workpiece.
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 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workpiece to be withdrawn.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.
ImPORTanT! 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.

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 Atop (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 Stop (24) and flat on
the table (15).
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.)
2. makIng anguLaR CuTS (See Fig. O)
set the saw table to the desired angle.
Carry out the cut.
3. FREEhandEd CuTS (See Fig. Q)
One of the most outstanding features of a bandsaw is
the ease with which it allows you to make curved cuts
and radii.
Lower the blade Guide (11) to the workpiece.
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.
lt often pays to first cut off surplus curves and comers
up to about 6mm 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.
