• Hold the saw band (7) in the guide rollers (14) and
place it around both rubber wheels (13).
m NOTE!
Make sure that the direction arrows on the saw band
(7) (if present) match those on the rubber wheels (13).
• Retighten the saw band tightening lever (8) by turn-
ing it clockwise.
• REMOUNT BOTH PROTECTIVE COVERS (11).
m WARNING!
• Only operate the device with the protective covers
(11) mounted!
• Switch the metal band saw on and off a few times, to
ensure that the saw band is sitting correctly.
• Maintain physical distance from the saw band area
during this test.
10. Start up
m Attention!
Always make sure the device is fully assembled
before commissioning!
10.1 Switching the device on/off
CAUTION:
Before connecting the machine to the mains power
supply, always make sure that the on/off switch (3) is
functioning properly.
Switching on:
Keep the on/off switch (3) pressed.
Switching off:
Release the on/off switch (3).
Attention: The saw band runs after the device has been
switched off.
10.2 Switching the work lamp on and off,
fig. 1 + 6
Switching on:
Set the light switch (1) to the "I" position. The work lamp
(23) lights up.
Switching off:
Set the light switch (1) to the "0" position. The work light
goes out.

10.3 Setting the drilling speed, fig. 1
m CAUTION:
Never change the speed with the device running.
• Set the speed setting wheel (2) to a position be-
tween 1 and 6.
• Choose a suitable speed for the workpiece to be cut.
m CAUTION:
The speed setting wheel (4) can only be turned up to 6
and back to 1. If it is forcibly turned past 6 or beyond 1,
it may no longer be possible to adjust the speed.
11. Working instructions
11.1 Tips for better sawing (Fig. 7)
The following recommendations should be applied as
a guideline (see "Recommended sawing positions" ta-
ble in figure 7).
• Never twist the saw band during the cutting pro-
cess.
• Never use liquid coolant for the metal band saw.
The use of liquid coolants causes deposits on the
rubber belts (7) and reduces the cutting perfor-
mance.
• If severe vibrations arise during the cutting pro-
cess, make sure that the sawn workpiece is se-
curely clamped. If the vibrations continue, replace
the saw band.
• Secure the workpiece against slipping, e.g. using
the vice (16) of the saw table (24).
• Use the net weight of the saw when sawing. Do not
apply any additional pressure.
• Wait until the saw has reached its full speed before
carefully bringing it into contact with the workpiece.
• If the saw band (7) is blocked, switch the device off
immediately.
• Do not twist the saw band (7) while cutting.
• Ensure that the device is stable and safe. The device
can be secured in a suitable place for safety. There
are 4 holes (25) in the base of the enclosure for fixing
on a firm and level surface. To do this, insert suitable
fixing material (not included in the scope of delivery)
corresponding to the base through the 4 holes (25).
Use the fixing material to fix the device to the base.
m WARNING!
Remove the workpiece only after the saw has come to
a standstill.
12. Electrical connection
The electrical motor installed is connected and ready
for operation. The connection complies with the appli-
cable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer's mains connection as well as the ex-
tension cable used must also comply with these reg-
ulations.
Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is often
damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Pressure points, where connection cables are
passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been improp-
erly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut
due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall
outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not
be used and are life-threatening due to the insulation
damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage
regularly. Ensure that the connection cables are dis-
connected from electrical power when checking for
damage.
Electrical connection cables must comply with the ap-
plicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use connection
cables with the designation H05VV-F.
The printing of the type designation on the connection
cable is mandatory.
Connection type Y
If the power cord of this device is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, their service department
or a similarly qualified person to avoid dangers.
AC motor
• The mains voltage must be 220-240 V~.
• Extension cables up to 25 m long must have a
cross-section of 1.5 mm2.
Connections and repair work on the electrical equip-
ment may only be carried out by electricians.

13. Cleaning
Danger!
Disconnect the mains plug before carrying out any
cleaning work.
• Keep protective devices, air vents and the motor
housing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Rub
the device clean with a clean cloth or blow it off with
compressed air at low pressure. We recommend
that you clean the device directly after every use.
• Clean the device at regular intervals using a damp
cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use any cleaning
products or solvents; they could attack the plastic
parts of the device. Make sure that no water can
penetrate the device interior. Water penetrating
an electric device increases the risk of an electric
shock.
14. Storage
Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry and
frost-free place that is inaccessible to children. The
optimum storage temperature is between 5 and 30˚C.
Store the electric tool in its original packaging.
Cover the electric tool to protect it from dust or mois-
ture.
Store the operating manual with the electric tool.
15. Maintenance
Attention!
Disconnect the mains plug before carrying out any
maintenance work.
General maintenance tasks
Wipe swarf and dust off the machine from time to time
with a cloth.
Do not oil the motor.
Do not use corrosive cleaning agents for cleaning the
plastic.
