Before starting the equipment
Make sure the machine stands securely, i.e. bolt it to a
workbench or solid base. There are two holes for this
purpose in the machine foot.
• The saw table must be mounted correctly.
• All covers and safety devices have to be properly
fitted before the machine is switched on.
• It must be possible for the blade to run freely.
• When working with wood that has been processed
before, watch out for foreign bodies such as nails
or screws etc.
• Before you actuate the On/Off switch, make sure
that the saw blade is correctly fitted and that the ma-
chine's moving parts run smoothly.
• Before you connect the machine to the power sup-
ply, make sure the data on the rating plate is the
same as that for your mains.

m ATTENTION! Before all maintenance, set-up and
assembly work on the band saw, unplug the mains plug.
Assembly tools
1 Open-ended spanner, size 10/13
1 Allen key, size 3
1 Allen key, size 4
1 Screwdriver
The saw table and table extension are not assembled
for packaging reasons.
8.1 Assembling the saw table (Fig. 2-3)
• Remove the wing nut (21), the locking handle (22),
the two washers and the clamping plate (23). (Fig. 2)
• Guide the saw table (7) over the Bandsaw blade
(26). Fasten it to the two screws on the machine
frame with the plate (23), the two washers, the wing
nut (21) and the locking handle (22). (Fig. 3)
• Fit the bolt M6x35 (36) with two washers (37) and
the nut (38) to the table. (Fig. 3)
8.2 Fitting the table width enlargement
(Fig. 4 + 4.1 + 4.2 + 4.3 + 4.4)
• Remove the two bolts (39) and washers (40) from
the table width enlargement (8). (Fig. 4)
• Slide the table width enlargement (8) onto the table
(7) mounted on the machine. Ensure that the clamp-
ing lever (10) is open (Fig. 4.1+4.2).
• Push the table width enlargement fully onto the table
(Fig. 4.3) in order to fix the two bolts (39) on both
sides. (Fig. 4.4) Be sure to fit the bolts (39) on both
sides. The two bolts are used to limit the extension
of the table width enlargement.
8.3 Fitting the parallel stop (Fig. 5)
• Fit the parallel stop (14) by positioning it at the back
and fixing the clamping lever (42) in place downwards.
• When dismantling, pull the clamping lever (42) up-
wards and remove the parallel stop (14).
• The clamping force of the parallel stop can be ad-
justed at the rear knurled nut (41).
8.4 Adjusting the cutting width (Fig. 5 + 5.1)
• The parallel stop (14) must be used when cutting
sections of wood lengthways.
• Place the parallel stop (14) on the guide rail (43) to
the left or right of the sawing blade
• 2 scales are printed on the guide rail for the parallel
stop (43), which show the distance between the stop
rail and sawing blade.
• Adjust the parallel stop (14) to the required dimen-
sion in the window (44) and use the clamping lever
(42) to fix in place for the parallel stop. (Fig. 5)
8.5 Using the table width enlargement (Fig. 6-6.2)
• Always use the table width enlargement (8) with par-
ticularly wide workpieces.
• Loosen the clamping lever (10) and pull the table
width enlargement out far enough so that the work-
piece to be sawn can lie on it without tipping.
(Fig. 6.2)
8.6 Tensioning the saw band (Fig. 1)
m ATTENTION! If the saw is at a standstill for an ex-
tended period the saw band tension must be relieved,
i.e. before switching the saw on it is necessary to check
the saw blade tension.
• Turn the clamping screw (1) clockwise to tension the
Bandsaw blade (26). The correct tension of the saw
band can be determined by pressing the finger lateral-
ly against the saw band, roughly centrally between the
two saw band rollers (2+9). The Bandsaw blade (26)
should only depress slightly (approx. 1-2 mm) here.
• The sufficiently tensioned saw band makes a metal-
lic sound when tapped.
• Relieve the saw band tension if it is not in use for
an extended time, so that it does not become over-
stretched.
