align the table in a right angle to the saw band.
– Use the shifting square –
2. Fix the adjusting screw by a locknut, and fasten the
clamping lever.
Installation of the longitudinal stop, Fig. 5
1. Screw­in 4 wing screws with a shim for each screw ap­
proximately 5 mm into the tabletop (Fig. 5.1).
2. Insert the guide tube into the table until the stop, and
loosely tighten the wing screws.
3. Fasten the slewing part of the guide tube with two M6x12
screws and a lock washer on the table (Fig. 5.2).
4. Tighten the wing nuts.
5. Put the longitudinal stop on the guide tube at the left of
the saw band, and clamp it. The stop tube must be par­
allel to the table groove. A correction can be performed
by releasing the two cylinder head screws (Fig. 5.3).
Installation of the handle, Fig. 6
Mount the handle using a hexagon nut M8 and a washer 8
for the belt tensioning device.
Installation of the handwheel, Fig. 7
Mount the handwheel (ø 120 mm) with a M8 hexagon nut
and a 8 washer for the progressively adjustable speed ad­
justment device.

 Initial operation

Please observe the safety instructions prior to the initial op-
eration of the machine. All protection devices and covers must
be mounted when working with the machine.
Fig. 8
Release and remove the saw band. Insert a new saw band,
and tension it slightly. Turn the band wheel manually in
the cutting direction, and simultaneously perform the final
tension of the saw band. The tension depends on the width
of the saw band. Wide saw bands must be tensioned more
strongly than narrow ones. An excessive tension results in
the premature rupture of the saw band.
Side correction, Fig. 9
1. The saw band should run centrically on the band
wheels.
2. Turn the upper band wheel manually in the cutting di­
rection, and perform the side correction using the han­
dle ➀.
3. Tighten the knurled nut once the adjustment is com­
plete.
Speed regulation, Fig. 10
Please use the handwheel exclusively during the operation
of the device. A non­compliance may result in a damage
of the device.
Turn the handwheel clockwise, decrease the cutting speed.
Increase the cutting speed in the opposite direction within
the following speed range:
Minimum speed 370 m/min.
For the processing of aluminium, brass, copper, duroplas­
tics as well as hard synthetic materials.
Maximum speed 750 m/min.
For the processing of wood.
Saw band guide, Fig. 9
You can adjust the upper saw band guide up to a work
piece height of 205 mm ➂. The smallest possible distance
to the work piece ensures the optimum band guide and a
safe working!
Counterpressure bearing, Fig. 11
The counterpressure bearings ➀ absorb the feed pressure
of the work piece.
Adjust the upper and lower counterpressure bearings in
such a manner that they slightly strike against the saw
band back.
Guiding rollers, Fig. 11
Adjust the upper and lower guiding rollers ➁ to the cor­
responding saw band width. The front edges of the guiding
rollers may at maximum extend until the tooth root surface
of the saw band. If the guiding rollers slightly touch the
saw band, fix the position of the rollers with the knurled
screw. The saw band must not choke up!

Working information:

The following recommendations are examples of the safe use
of band saws.
The following safe working methods should be seen as an
aid to safety. They cannot be applied suitably completely
or comprehensively to every use. They cannot treat every
possible dangerous condition and must be interpreted
carefully.
• Connect the machine to a suction unit when working in
closed rooms. A suction device which conforms with
commercial regulations must be used for suction in com­
mercial areas.
• Loosen the sawband when the machine is not in operation
(e.g. after finishing work). Attach a notice on the tension
of the saw band to the machine for the next user.
• Collect unused sawbands and store them safely in a dry
place. Check for faults (teeth, cracks) before use. Do not
use faulty sawbands!
• Wear suitable gloves when handling sawbands.
• All protective and safety devices must be securely mount­
ed on the machine before beginning work.
• Never clean the sawband or the sawband guide with a
hand­held brush or scraper while the sawband is run­
ning. Resin­covered sawbands impair working safety and
must be cleaned regularly.
• For your own protection, wear protective glasses and
hearing protection. Wear a hairnet if you have long hair.
Roll up loose sleeves over the elbows.
• Always position the sawband guide as near the workpiece
as possible when working.
• Insure sufficient lighting in the work area and around
the machine.
• Always use the fence for straight cuts to keep the work­
piece from tipping or slipping away.
