Working with the saw

Before starting to work consider the following safety
advices to keep the risk of injuries as small as
possible.
 Saw band o.k.?
 Parallel stopper ready to use?
 Pushing stick ready to hand?
 Upper and lower case door closed?
The case doors protect against touching the driven
parts in the inside of the saw.
 Workplace tidied?
 You may not start to operate the machine until you have
read these operating instructions, observed all the
instructions given and installed the machine as described!
Before changing or adjusting the saw (i.e. replacing
saw band, inclining saw table, adjusting saw band
coping etc.)
 Switch off device
 Wait for stop of the saw band
 Pull out power plug
Also, note the following important points:
 Wear protective clothing:
 ear protection
 safety goggles
 protective mask
 When sawing do not wear gloves, large clothes or jewels.
Danger of entering!
 Take the correct working position. The saw teeth must face
the operator.
 Take a position outside the danger zone of the saw band.
 Never put into operation the machine when the doors
protecting the saw band are open.
 Put the hands plain with closed fingers on the work piece.
 Saw only one work piece simultaneously. Never saw
several work pieces or individual items combined as packs
simultaneously. There is the risk that individual items can be
caught uncontrolled by the saw band.
 Do not saw work pieces where cords, strings, bands, cables
or wires are fixed. Danger of entering!
 Press the work piece when sawing on the saw table.
 Pay attention to that the work piece does not cant itself.
 Do not slow down the saw band by lateral pressure.

 Use a work piece support plate so that when sawing
long work pieces these will not fall from the table after
cutting them through.
 Never remove loose splinters, chips, or similar by hand.
At any case pay attention to all security advices.

Pushing stick
The pushing stick serves as enlargement of the hand
and protects against accidental touching of the saw
band.
When do you have to use the pushing stick?
 When the distance between saw band and parallel stopper
is less than 120 mm.
 In case of straight cuts against the parallel stopper.

Hang in the pushing stick in case of non-use in the
mounting on the side of the device.

Do not use the pushing stick when it is damaged and
replace the pushing stick immediately.
Adjusting the saw band coping
The saw band coping protects against accidental
touching of the saw band and flying sawdust.
The height of the saw band coping must be adjusted:
 Before sawing, to adapt to the work piece height
 After changes of saw band (i.e. clamping or replacing saw
band, adjusting saw table)
The distance between saw band coping and work piece
must be 3 mm that there is a sufficient protection against
touching the saw band.
Release fixation screw (I).
The required position of the saw band coping can be
adjusted with the adjusting wheel (12)
Refasten fixation screw.
Cutting round work pieces
Cutting round timber is not allowed with the standard feeding
assistances. When cutting round timber use a special device
which safes the work piece from skewing.
Edgewise cutting of plain work pieces
When sawing edgewise plain work pieces a suitable stop angle
for a safe guidance must be used.

Cutting narrow workpieces

(Width less than 120 mm)
Push the work piece with both hands forwards, within the saw
band zone use the pushing stick (21).

Cutting wide workpieces

With the flat of the hand and the fingers closed, push the work
piece to be cut along the stop.
Cutting long workpieces
Secure long workpieces against dropping down when
finishing the cutting process. Use roller supports or similar
devices for this purpose.
