10.1. Longitudinal cuts (Fig.20)
Longitudinal cutting is when you use the saw to cut along the
grain of the wood.
•
Place the parallel stop (Fig.20/Item 24) to the left of the
blade (Fig.2/Item 26), as far as possible, for the width
required.
•
Lower the blade guide (Fig.20/Item 11) down to the
workpiece (see 8.5).
•
Switch on the saw.
•
Press the edge of the workpiece with your right hand to
hold it securely against the parallel stop (Fig.20/Item 24)
and flat on the table (Fig.20/Item 15).
•
Guide the workpiece along the parallel stop
(Fig.20/Item 24) and through the blade (Fig.2/Item 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.)
10.2. Angular cuts (Fig.19)
To enable you to perform angular cuts parallel to the blade
(Fig.19/Item 26) , the table (Fig.19/Item 15) can be tilted
forwards between 0° - 45°.
•
Undo the fixing handles (Fig.2/Item 18).
•
Tilt the saw table (Fig.19/Item 15) forwards until the
required angle value is set on the dial scale (Fig.2/Item 16).
•
Re-tighten the fixing handles (Fig.2/Item 18).
•
Important:
When the table (Fig.19/Item 15) is tilted, place
the parallel stop (Fig.19/ Item 24) to the right of the blade
(Fig.19/Item 26) looking in the direction in which you are
working, on the side pointing downwards (provided the
workpiece is wide enough in order to stop the workpiece
from slipping off).
•
Carry out the cut as described in 10.1.
10.3. Freehanded cuts (Figure 21)
One of the most outstanding features of a bandsaw is the ease
with which it allows you to make curved cuts and radius.
•
Lower the blade guide (Fig.21/Item 11) to the workpiece
(see 8.5).
•
Switch on the saw.
•
Hold the workpiece securely on the table (Fig.21/Item 15)
and guide slowly through the blade (Fig.2/Item 26).
•
Freehanded cuts should be made at low feed speed so
that you can guide the blade (Fig.2/Item 26) along the
required line.
•
It often pays to first cut off surplus curves and corners 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.
11. Transport
To transport the bandsaw, hold the supporting foot
(Fig.1/Item 5) with one hand and the frame (Fig.2/Item 25)
with the other hand.
Important!
Never use guards to lift or
transport the equipment.
12. 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.
