• 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 mitre 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 ripped, the
rollers can continue to run, therefore it is essential to
wait for the machine to come to a complete standstill
before opening the guards.
10.1 Using the parallel stop
10.1.1
Stop height (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 materi-
al (workpiece thickness exceeding 25 mm) and thin
material (workpiece thickness below 25 mm).
10.1.2
Adjusting the stop rail (Fig. 24, 25)
1.
In order to move the stop rail (g) to the lower guide
surface, loosen the two knurled nuts (i) to release
the stop rail (g) from the parallel stop (6).
2.
Pull the stop rail (g) along the groove and out.
3.
Turn the stop rail (g) and insert the sliding blocks
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 parallel stop to the other
side
1.
Unscrew the knurled nuts (i) fully.
2.
Remove the stop rail (g) and reinsert the carriage
bolts on the opposite side of the parallel stop (6).
10.1.4
• 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).
• There are two scales on the guide rail (7) at the front
of the saw table (24). One in blue font and one in
black, indicating the distance between the stop rail
(g) and the saw band (26) (cutting width):
- Use the upper scale with the blue font if you have
fitted the stop rail (g) flat (for thin material).
- Use the lower scale with the black font if you have
fitted the stop rail (g) on its edge (for thick material).
To set the parallel stop (6) to a specific dimension, pro-
ceed as follows:
1.
Lift the clamping lever (33).
2.
Move the parallel stop (6) until the desired dimen-
sion is visible on the scale of the guide rail (7) in
the sight glass.
3.
Push the clamping lever (33) completely down to
fix it.
10.2 Using the mitre gauge (Fig. 3, 16)
1.
Slide the mitre 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.
m Attention! Do not slide the stop rail (e) to far in
7.
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).
