6, release saw band with twist handle (B) and take it off.
Put on new saw band and tighten slightly. Turn band wheel
manually in the cutting direction and carry out at the same
time the final tensioning of the saw band. The tensioning
is dependent on the saw band width. Broad saw bands are
to be tensioned stronger than the small ones. Too high a
tension causes the untimely break of the saw band.
Side correction, figure 7
• The saw band must run centrally on the band wheels.
• Turn the upper band wheel manually in the cutting di-
rection and perform the side correction via the handle
(C), loosen thereby the thumbnut (D).
• Tighten the thumbnut (D) after setting is effected.
Caution! Close the protective cover again with the hexago-
nal head screw.
Fig. 7
Open thereby the lock nut (F), set the distance with the
twist handle (E) and fix it again.
Counter-pressure bearings, Fig. 8
Counter-pressure bearings (G) absorb the workpiece feed
pressure. Set the upper and lower counter-pressure bear-
ing such that it slightly touches the back of the sawblade.
Guide rollers, Fig. 8
Adjust the upper and lower feed rollers (H) to the corre-
sponding sawblade width. The front edges of the guide
rollers must not reach further than the tooth base of the
sawblade. When the guide rollers slightly touch the sawb-
lade, counter the roller seat with the knurled screw.
The sawblade must not jam!
Assembly of the mounting angle figure 9
Screw on mounting angle with hexagonal nut M6x12,
washer A6 and a hexagonal nut M6. It is advisable to fas-
ten the machine on a workbench or a tabletop to exclude
the tipping-over of the bandsaw.
Suction connector
The suction connector is not positioned correctly for trans-
port reasons and must be turned until the fastening screws
are in a horizontal position.
An adapter is attached for industry vacuum cleaners; this
adapter is pressed into the suction connector.
m Working information
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 opera-
tion (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 run-
ning. 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 work-
piece 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 work-
piece 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 appropri-
ate position and guide the workpiece on the fence.
• Insure safe workpiece guidance.
• 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.
• Use the traverse cutting gauge special accessory for
safety when making traverse cuts.
m Electrical Connection
The installed electric motor is connected and is ready to
work.
The connection complies with the relevant VDE and DIN
regulations.
The customer-side mains supply and the used extension
line must meet these regulations.
Installations, repair, and maintenance work relating to the
electric installation may only be performed by specialists.
Important Notes
The electric motor has been designed for the S 1 operating
mode.
Defective Electric Connection Lines
Often, insulation damages occur on electrical connection
lines.
Causes are:
• Drag marks if connection lines are led through window or
door clearances.
• Kinks due to improper attachment or routing of the con-
nection line.
• Cuts caused by running over the connection line.
• Insulation damages caused by pulling the connection
line out of the wall socket.
• Fissures caused by the ageing of the insulation.
Such defective electric connection lines must not be used
and are hazardous due to the insulation damages.
Regularly check the electrical connection lines for dam-
ages. Please make sure that the connection lines are dis-
connected from the mains supply during the check.
Electrical connection lines must comply with the relevant
VDE and DIN regulations. Only use connection lines la-
belled with H 07 RN. The labelling of the connection cable
with the type specification is required.
