• Use a safe method for cutting pegs, e.g. a depth
stop.
• For cutting of small wedges, use a guide fixture.
• In order to cut dovetail tenons and teeth or wedges,
swivel the saw table into the plus and minus position.
Make sure that the workpiece is guided safely.
• On curved and irregular cuts, advance the work-
piece using both hands, keeping your fingers closed.
Keep your hands on a safe area of the workpiece.
• Use an auxiliary template for repeated cutting of
curved, irregular cuts.
• Secure the workpiece against turning when cutting
round pieces of wood.
• Use the special transverse cutting gauge accessory
for safe working with cross cuts.
• Use the special circle cutting device accessory for
safe working when cutting round plates (not included
in the scope of delivery).
Warning:If the band saw blade or belt is torn, the roll-
ers can continue to run, so it is essential to wait for
the machine to come to a complete standstill before
opening the protective devices.
10.1 Using the parallel stop
10.1.1 Stop heights (fig. 24)
• The stop rail (g) of the parallel stop (6) has two guide
surfaces at different heights.
• Depending on the thickness of the material to be
cut, the stop rail (g) must be used for thick material
(workpiece thickness exceeding 25 mm) and for thin
material (workpiece thickness below 25 mm).
10.1.2 Setting the stop rail (fig. 24, 25)
1. To move the stop rail (g) to the lower guide surface,
loosen the two knurled nuts (i) to release the stop
rail (g) from parallel stop (6).
2. Pull out the stop rail (g) along the groove.
3. Turn the stop rail (g) and slide the sliding block
along the second groove.
4. Shifting to the higher guide surface must be car-
ried out in the same way.
10.1.3 Changing the side of the parallel stop
1. Fully unscrew the knurled nuts (i).
2. Remove the stop rail (g) and insert the coach bolts
on the opposite side of the parallel stop (6).

10.1.4 Setting the cutting width (fig. 11)
• The parallel stop (6) must be used when cutting sec-
tions of wood lengthways.
• The parallel stop (6) can be mounted on both sides
of the saw table (24).
• Two scales are printed on the guide rail (7) on the
front side of the saw table (24). One written in blue
and another one in black indicating the distance be-
tween stop rail (g) and saw blade (26) (cutting width):
Use the upper scale in blue, if you have mounted
-
the stop rail (g) flat (for thin material).
Use the lower scale in black, if you have mount-
-
ed the stop rail (g) upright (for thick material).
To set the parallel stop (6) to the desired dimension,
proceed as follows:
1. Raise the eccentric lever (33).
2. Slide the parallel stop (6) until you see the desired
dimension on the scale of the guide rail (7) in the
sight glass.
3. To fix it in place, press the eccentric lever (33) fully
downwards.
10.2 Using the transverse cutting gauge, (fig. 3, 16)
1. Slide the transverse cutting gauge (30) into a
groove (a) on the saw table.
2. Undo the grip screw (b).
3. Remove the locking pin (c) (0°/ 45°).
4. Turn the transverse stop (30) until the desired an-
gle has been set. The arrow (d) on the transverse
stop indicates the set angle.
5. Re-tighten the grip screw (b). Insert the locking
pin (c) again if necessary (0°/ 45°).
6. The stop rail (e) can be slid against the transverse
stop (30). To do so, loosen the knurled screws (f)
and slide the stop rail (e) into the desired position.
Tighten the knurled screws (f) again.
7. m Attention! Do not slide the stop rail (e) to far
in the direction of the saw band.
10.3 Performing longitudinal cuts (Fig. 24)
Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction.
1. Adjust the parallel stop (6) on the left side (if pos-
sible) of the saw band (26) corresponding to the
desired width.
2. Lower the saw band guide (5) onto the workpiece.
3. Switch the band saw on. (see 9.14)
4. Press an edge of the workpiece against the par-
allel stop (6), whilst the flat side lies on the saw
table (24).
5. Slide the workpiece at an even feed rate along the
parallel stop (6) into the saw band (26).
Notes on performing longitudinal cuts
• Important:Long workpieces must be secured
against tipping at the end of the cutting process
(e.g. with reel-off stand, etc.)
• With all cutting processes, position the top saw band
guide (5) as close as possible to the workpiece.
• Always hold the workpiece with both hands. Keep it
flat on the band saw table (24), in order to prevent
jamming of the saw band.
• 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 (6) 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 possible to avoid drawing the
workpiece back, the band saw must be switched off
beforehand. The workpiece should only be pulled
back once the saw band 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 rod. Always store
the push stick (52) within reach on the push stick
retainer (16) provided for this purpose on the side
of the saw (Fig. 2; 17).
10.4 Performing angled cuts
(Fig. 25)
1. In order to execute angled cuts parallel to the saw
band (Fig. 25), it is possible to tilt the saw table
(24) forwards from 0° - 45°.
2. Undo the angle setting quick clamp lever (23)
(Fig. 9).
3. Tilt the saw table (24) forwards. Turn the adjusting
knob for the angle setting (22) until the desired an-
gle has been set on the graduated scale.
4. Tighten the angle setting quick clamp lever (23)
(Fig. 9) again.
5. m Attention!With a tilted saw bench (24), the
parallel stop fence (6) must be positioned on the
downward facing side to the right of the saw band
in the working direction (fig. 25) (if the workpiece
width allows this), in order to secure the workpiece
against slipping.

m Attention! After every new setting, we recom-
mend performing a test cut, in order to check the
dimensional settings.
6. Make the cut as described under 10.3.
10.5 Executing cuts with the transverse cutting
gauge (Fig 28, 29)
1. Set the transverse cutting gauge (30) to the de-
sired angle (see 10.2)
2. Lower the saw band guide (5) onto the workpiece.
3. Switch the band saw on.
4. Press the workpiece against the transverse cut-
ting gauge and slide it into the saw band at an
even rate of feed.
10.6 Freehand cuts (Fig. 26; 27)
One of the most important features of a band saw is
the ease with which it can cut curves and radii.
1. Lower the saw band guide (5) onto the workpiece.
2. Switch the band saw on.
3. Press the workpiece firmly on the saw table (24)
and slide it slowly into the saw band.
Notes:
• 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.
11. Transport
m Attention!
Unplug the mains plug prior to transport!
Never lift by the saw table!
During transport, the saw band guard (4) must be in
the lowest position and close to the table.
1. For transport, only pull the transport handle out
until the rear screw is in contact with the second
mounting plate. (fig. 5)
2. Now lift the machine by the transport handle (10)
until the machine can be stood on the travel fixture
(11) and moved.
Notes:
• Transport is only permitted on a straight, even sur-
face.
