Scheppach HBS30 Originalbetriebsanleitung Seite 37

• 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 workpieces
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).
• Important: Long workpieces must be secured
against tipping at the end of the cutting process (e.g.
with reel-off stand, etc.)
10.2 Performing angled cuts (Fig. 20)
• Set saw bench to desired angle (see 9.3).
• Perform the cut as described under 10.1.
When producing angled cuts, only use the parallel stop
to the right of the saw band.
10.3 Freehand cuts (Fig. 21)
• One of the most important features of a band saw is
the ease with which it can cut curves and radii.
• Lower the saw band guide (5) onto the workpiece
(see 8.9).
• Switch on the saw.
• Press the workpiece firmly onto the saw bench (7)
and slowly slide into the Bandsaw blade (26).
• 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.
10.4 Executing cuts with the transverse cutting
gauge (Fig. 22 + Fig. 23)
• Set transverse cutting gauge (25) to the desired an-
gle (see 8.16)
• Perform the cut as described under 10.1.
11. 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 exten-
sion cable used must also comply with these regulations.
Important information
In the event of an overloading the motor will switch it-
self off. After a cool-down period (time varies) the mo-
tor can be switched back on again.
Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is often
damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Passage 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. Make sure that the connection cable does
not hang on the power network during the inspection.
Electrical connection cables must comply with the ap-
plicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use connection
cables with the marking „H05VV-F".
