m ATTENTION! With a tilted saw table (7), the parallel
stop (14) must always be fitted to the right of the band
saw blade (26) in the working direction. This prevents
the workpiece from slipping.
10. 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 com-
pletely 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 suc-
tion in commercial areas.
• Loosen the sawband when the machine is not in op-
eration (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 ap-
propriate 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.
m ATTENTION! After every new setting, we recom-
mend performing a test cut, in order to check the di-
mensional settings.
• With all cutting processes, the top saw band guide
(5) must be positioned as close as possible to the
workpiece (see 8.9).
• The workpiece must always be guided with both
hands and kept flat against the saw table (7). This
prevents the Bandsaw blade (26) 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 (14) for all cutting pro-
cesses 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 pos-
sible to avoid drawing the workpiece back then the
band saw must be switched off first. Only draw the
workpiece back once the Bandsaw blade (26) has
come to a standstill.
• When sawing, the workpiece must always be guided
by its longest side.
m ATTENTION! When processing narrower work-
pieces it is essential to use a Push stick. The Push stick
(29) must always be stored within reach, on the Push
Stick retainer (60) provided for this purpose on the side
of the saw.
10.1 Performing longitudinal cuts (Fig. 19)
Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction.
• Position the longitudinal fence (14) on the left side (if
possible) of the Bandsaw blade (26), in accordance
with the desired width.
• Lower the saw band guide (5) onto the workpiece
(8.9).
• Switch on the saw (see 9.1).
• Press one edge of the workpiece against the longi-
tudinal fence (14) 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 (14) into the Bandsaw blade (26).
