1 Allen key, size 3
1 Allen key, size 6
The saw table is not assembled for packaging reasons.

9.1. Assembling the saw table (Fig. 1-4)

Open the side covers (11) by undoing the top (13) and bottom (10) cover locks. First unlock the top cover lock (13) with the help of the 6 mm Allen key (29) by turning this counter-clockwise. Then unlock the bottom cover lock (10) by unscrewing it counter-clockwise.
Set the swivel section to 30° by loosening the saw table locking handle (21) (fig. 2).
Guide the saw table (7) over the saw blade (22).
Screw the saw table (7) to the swivel section (18) with 4 M6x12 hex screws. Do not fully tighten the screws.
Swivel the saw table into the 0° position and tighten the saw table locking handle (21).
Align the tabletop parallel to the saw blade. Tighten the 4 hex screws.
Once adjustment is complete, close the side cover (11) again with the bottom (10) and top (13) cover locks in reverse order.
Loosen the 3 hex nuts (X) ca. 2 turns and slide the swivel section with the mounted saw table. The saw band must run centrally in the table insert (6) (fig. 3). Then tighten the 3 hex. nuts (X) again (fig. 4).

9.2. Mounting the guide rail for the parallel stop (26) on the table (7) (Fig. 3)

Screw in the 4 wing screws M6x12 (31), each with a flat washer (32), ca. 5 mm into the saw table (7).
Insert the guide rail for the parallel stop (26) until it stops against the table.
Then tighten the 4 wing nuts. 9.3. Adjusting the parallel stop (Fig. 5)
Place the parallel stop (25) on the guide rail (26) for the parallel stop, to the left of the saw blade, and clamp it firmly in place (see 10.2).
The parallel stop must now be parallel to the cut-out in the saw table (7). It can be corrected by loosening the cylindrical screws (34). A 4 mm Allen key (not included) is required for this. Remove the protective cap (Fig. 5.1).

9.3.1 Adjusting the scale (Fig. 5)
If necessary, the scale can be readjusted to the guide rail for the parallel stop.

Place the longitudinal stop to the left of the saw blade, on the guide rail for the parallel stop.
Measure 50 mm from the saw blade to the parallel stop. The graduation mark on the magnifying glass (33) should now be at 50 mm.
If this is not the case, then loosen the Philips head screw (K) on the scale and set this to 50 mm. Tighten the Philips head screw again.

9.4. Tensioning the saw band (Fig. 1a)

ATTENTION! If the saw is at a standstill for an extended period the saw band tension must be relieved, i.e. before switching the saw on it is necessary to check the saw blade tension.

Turn the clamping screw (1) clockwise to tension the Bandsaw blade (22). The correct tension of the saw band can be determined by pressing the finger laterally against the saw band, roughly centrally between the two saw band rollers (2+8). The Bandsaw blade (22) should only depress slightly (approx. 1-2 mm) here.
The sufficiently tensioned saw band makes a metallic sound when tapped.
Relieve the saw band tension if it is not in use for an extended time, so that it does not become overstretched.

ATTENTION! With high tension, the saw band may break. RISK OF INJURY! If the tension is too low, the driven saw band roller (8) may spin, resulting in the saw band coming to a standstill.

9.5 Adjusting the saw band (Fig. 1a+1b)

ATTENTION! Before it is possible to implement the saw band setting, the saw band must be tensioned correctly.

Open the side covers (11) by undoing the top (13) and bottom (10) cover locks. First unlock the top cover lock (13) with the help of the 6 mm Allen key (28) by turning this counter-clockwise. Then unlock the bottom cover lock (10) by unscrewing it counter-clockwise.
Slowly turn the saw band roller (2) clockwise. The Bandsaw blade (22) should run centrally on the saw band roller (2). If this is not the case, the angle of the top saw band roller (2) must be corrected.
If the Bandsaw blade (22) runs more towards the rear edge of the saw band roller (2) then the set screw (15) must be rotated anticlockwise.
Open the locking screw for the top saw band roller (14).
Turn the bottom saw band roller (8) slowly by hand, to check the position of the Bandsaw blade (22).
If the Bandsaw blade (22) runs more towards the front edge of the saw band roller (2) then the set screw (15) must be rotated clockwise.
After setting the top saw band roller (2), check the position of the Bandsaw blade (22) on the bottom saw band roller (8). The Bandsaw blade (22) should also lie centrally on the saw band roller (8) here. If this is not the case, the angle of the top saw band roller (2) must be adjusted again.
Turn the saw band roller a few times, until the adjustment of the top saw band roller (2) acts on the saw band position on the bottom saw band roller (8).
Tighten the locking screw for the top saw band roller (14).
Once adjustment is complete, close the side cover (11) again with the bottom (10) and top (13) cover locks in reverse order.

9.9. Which saw band to use
The saw band supplied in the band saw is intended for universal use. The following criteria should be considered when selecting the saw band:

It is possible to cut tighter radii with a narrow saw band than with a wide saw band.
A wide saw band is used if a straight cut is required. This is important in particular when cutting wood. Thesaw band has a tendency to follow the wood grain and therefore deviates easily from the desired cutting line.
Fine-toothed saw bands cut more smoothly, but also more slowly than coarse saw bands.
ATTENTION : Never use bent or torn saw bands!

9.10. Replacing the saw band (Fig. 1a+1b+3+15)

Working instructions

The following recommendations are examples of the safe use of band saws.
The following safe working methods should be seen as an aid to safety. They cannot be applied suitably completely or comprehensively to every use. They cannot treat every possible dangerous condition and must be interpreted carefully.

Connect the machine to a suction unit when working in closed rooms.
A suction device which conforms with commercial regulations must be used for suction in commercial areas.
Loosen the sawband when the machine is not in operation (e.g. after finishing work). Attach a notice on the tension of the saw band to the machine for the next user.
Collect unused sawbands and store them safely in a dry place. Check for faults (teeth, cracks) before use. Do not use faulty sawbands!
Wear suitable gloves when handling sawbands.
All protective and safety devices must be securely mounted on the machine before beginning work.
Never clean the sawband or the sawband guide with a hand-held brush or scraper while the sawband is running. Resin-covered sawbands impair working safety and must be cleaned regularly.
For your own protection, wear protective glasses and hearing protection. Wear a hairnet if you have long hair. Roll up loose sleeves over the elbows.
Always position the sawband guide as near the workpiece as possible when working.
Insure sufficient lighting in the work area and around the machine.
Always use the fence for straight cuts to keep the workpiece from tipping or slipping away.
When working on narrow workpieces with manual feed, use the push stick.
For diagonal cuts, place the saw bench in the appropriate position and guide the workpiece on the fence.
In order to cut dovetail tenons and teeth or wedges, bring the saw table into the corresponding position on the angle scale.
For arced and irregular cuts, push the workpiece evenly using both hands with the fingers together. Hold the workpiece with your hands on a safe area.
Use a pattern for repeated arced or irregular cuts.
Insure that the workpiece does not roll when cutting round pieces.

Attention! After every new setting, we recommend performing a test cut, in order to check the dimensional settings.

With all cutting processes, the top saw band guide (5) must be positioned as close as possible to the workpiece (see 9.5).
The workpiece must always be guided with both hands and kept flat against the saw table (7). This prevents the Bandsaw blade (22) from jamming.
Forward feeding should always take place with an even pressure, which is just sufficient for the saw band to cut through the material with ease without becoming blocked.
Always use the parallel stop (25) for all cutting processes that it can be used for.
It is better to perform a cut in a single working step than in multiple steps, which may require that the workpiece be drawn back. However, if it is not possible to avoid drawing the workpiece back then the band saw must be switched off first. Only draw the workpiece back once the bandsaw blade (22) has come to a standstill.
When sawing, the workpiece must always be guid- ed by its longest side.

ATTENTION! When processing narrower workpieces it is essential to use a Push stick. The Push stick (27) must always be stored within reach, on the Push Stick retainer (48) provided for this purpose on the side of the saw.

11.1 Performing longitudinal cuts (Fig. 20)
Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction.

Position the longitudinal fence (25) on the left side (if possible) of the Bandsaw blade (22), in accordance with the desired width.
Lower the saw band guide (5) onto the workpiece (9.5).
Switch on the saw (see 10.1).
Press one edge of the workpiece against the longitudinal fence (25) with the right hand, whilst the flat side lies on the saw bench (7).
Slide the workpiece at an even feed rate along the longitudinal fence (25) into the Bandsaw blade (22).
Important: Long workpieces must be secured against tipping at the end of the cutting process (e.g. with reel-off stand, etc.)

11.2 Performing angled cuts (Fig. 19)

Set saw bench to desired angle (see „Angled cuts“).
Perform the cut as described under „11.1“.
When producing angled cuts, only use the parallel stop to the right of the saw band.

11.3 Freehand cuts (Fig. 21)

One of the most important features of a band saw is the ease with which it can cut curves and radii.

Lower the saw band guide (5) onto the workpiece (see 9.5).
Switch on the saw.
Press the workpiece firmly onto the saw bench (7) and slowly slide into the Bandsaw blade (22).
In many cases it is helpful to roughly saw curves and corners approximately 6 mm from the line.
If it is necessary to saw curves that are too tight for the saw band used, auxiliary cuts must be sawn up to the front face of the curve, so that these fall off as wood waste when the final radius is sawn.

Transport

The machine must only be lifted and transported on its frame or the frame plate. Never lift the machine at the safety devices, the adjusting levers, or the sawing table.
During the transport the saw blade protection must be in the lowest position and near the table.
Never raise at the table! Unplug the machine from the mains during transport.
