10.1 Extending the saw table (8) (Fig. 3)
1. Open the clamping lever (8a).
2. Pull the saw table (8) out to the desired position.
3. Lock the clamping lever (8a) again.
The clamping lever (8a) is closed when it is pointing
downwards.
10.2 Parallel stop (10) (Fig. 19)
Note:
The parallel stop (10) can be fitted to the right of the band
saw blade (6).
1. Loosen the clamping bar (10a) of the parallel stop
(10).
2. First place the parallel stop (10) on the rear of the saw
table (8) and then push the parallel stop (10) down.
3. Move the parallel stop (10) and adjust it to the desired
dimension.
4. Push the clamping bar (10a) down to fix the parallel
stop (10) in place.
To increase the clamping force of the clamping bar
(10a), loosen the clamping bar (10a), turn the clamp-
ing screw (10b) clockwise and press the clamping bar
(10a) down again to test the clamping force.
Repeat the process until the clamping force of the
clamping bar (10a) is sufficient.
5. Make sure that the parallel stop (10) always runs par-
allel to the band saw blade (6).
10.3 Mitre gauge (7) (Fig. 20)
1. Insert the mitre gauge (7) into the groove of the saw
table (8).
2. Loosen the knurled nut (7a).
3. Turn the mitre gauge (7) until the desired angle has
been set.
The scale pointer (7b) on the mitre gauge (7) shows
the set angle.
4. Retighten the knurled nut (7a).
10.4 Angled cuts (Fig. 21)
In order to execute angled cuts parallel to the band saw
blade (6), it is possible to tilt the saw table (8) from 0° to
45°.
1. Adjust the saw table (6) as described under 8.2.
2. Loosen the locking handle (18).
3. The knurled nut (19) can be used to set the desired
angle on the degree scale (14).
4. Tighten the locking handle (18).
ATTENTION
With a tilted saw table, the parallel stop must always be
fitted to the right of the band saw blade. This prevents
the workpiece from slipping.
10.5 Switching the product on/off
(fig. 1, 22)
Make sure that both safety switches (11a) engage proper-
ly on the housing doors (11).
Switching on
1. Insert the mains plug into a properly fused mains
socket.
2. Push the ON/OFF switch (1), which is marked "I", to
switch the product on.
Switching off
1. Press the STOP switch (1a) or lift the cover cap and
press the "0" button on the on/off switch (1).
2. Pull the mains plug out of the socket when the product
is not in use.
11 Working instructions
The following safe working methods are considered to
contribute to safety but may not be appropriate, fully or
extensively applicable for every use. They cannot cover
all possible hazardous conditions and must be interpreted
carefully.
• Risk to health from wood dust or wood chippings. It is
essential that personal protective equipment, such as
eye protection, is worn. Use a chip extraction system!
• If the product is not in operation, e.g. work is com-
plete, you should slacken the band saw blade. Attach
a corresponding note to the product for the next user
about the tensioning of the band saw blade.
• Store unused band saw blades together and safely in
a dry place. Check for faults, such as teeth or cracks,
before use. Do not use defective band saw blades!
WARNING
Tool attachments may be sharp and become hot during
use. Always wear protective gloves when handling the
tool attachments.
• Check the covers and protective devices for damage
and correct seating. Replace them if necessary.
• Wear hearing protection and safety goggles during the
entire operating period.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
• Always position the band saw blade guide as close as
possible to the workpiece when working.
• Only work in daylight or with good, artificial lighting.
• Always use the parallel stop for straight cuts in order
to prevent the workpiece from tilting or slipping.
• Keep your hands at a safe distance from the band
saw blade. Use a push stick for narrow cuts.
• For angled cuts, move the saw table into the appropri-
ate position and guide the workpiece on the parallel
stop.
• To cut dovetail-shaped tines, pins or wedges, put the
saw table into the corresponding position on the angle
scale.
