1. Clamp the workpieces to be sawed in a bench vice
or in another clamping device, i.e. directly between
the two clamping jaws and without placing other
objects in between.
2. Bring the workpiece stop (10) in contact with the
workpiece, and whilst doing so hold the saw band
away from the workpiece.
3. Then switch the metal band saw on. To do this,
press the on/off switch (5) and the release switch
(6) at the same time.
4. Once the metal band saw has reached the desired
speed, tilt the main body of the machine slowly
and cautiously such that the saw band (11) comes
into contact with the workpiece. Do not apply any
additional pressure. Be careful to avoid the saw
band (11) coming suddenly and abruptly into con-
tact with the surface of the workpiece. This results
in serious damage to the saw band. In order to
achieve the maximum service life of the saw band,
ensure that no sudden impacts arise at the start of
the sawing process.
5. Straight cuts can be achieved if the saw band is
flush with the side surface of the engine housing.
Be aware of your viewing angle in this case. Twist-
ing the saw band or holding it at an angle causes
the cut to run alongside the cutting line, and this
reduces the service life of the saw band. NOTE:
If the band saw becomes jammed or stuck in the
workpiece during sawing, release the on/off switch
(5) immediately to avoid damage to the saw band
and engine.
6. The net weight of the metal band saw delivers the
most efficient cutting pressure. If the pressure is
increased by the operator, the saw band (11) be-
comes slower and the service life of the band is
reduced.
7. End pieces that are so heavy they would cause
injuries if they were to fall should be supported.
Wearing safety shoes is strongly recommended.
Attention: End pieces may be hot and sharp.
8. Hold the metal band saw tight in both hands when
sawing.
9. Prevent the metal band saw from falling against
the clamped or supported workpiece after cutting.
10.3 Clamping the workpiece (Fig. 16-18)
1. First, open the workpiece clamping lever (25) an-
ti-clockwise.
2. Pull the moving clamping jaw (24) back.
3. Place the workpiece on the front fixed clamping
jaw (23).

4. Slide the moving clamping jaw (24) toward the
workpiece.
5. Clamp the workpiece using workpiece clamping
lever (25) anti-clockwise.
10.4 Mitre cut 0°- 45° (Fig. 19)
Mitre cuts of 0°-45° to the working surface can be car-
ried out using the metal band saw.
• To do this, open the locking handle (graduated
scale) (26).
• Set the support arm base plate (22) to the desired
angle.
• Re-tighten the locking handle (graduated scale)
(26).
10.5 Sawing process with the saw table
(Fig. 20 + 21)
m Attention
Keep the mains cable away from the sawing area dur-
ing the sawing process.
m Danger of injury! Keep your hands away from the
sawing area.
Mitre cuts of 0°- 45° to the working surface to the left
can be carried out using the metal band saw.
1. Set the desired angle as described under point
"10.4 Mitre cut 0°- 45°".
2. Clamp your workpiece as described under point
"10.3 Clamping the workpiece".
3. Switch the metal band saw on. To do this, press
the on/off switch (5) and the release switch (6) at
the same time.
4. Once the metal band saw has reached the desired
speed, pull the locking pin (27) (see Fig. 3) and
tilt the main body of the metal band saw slowly
and cautiously downwards so that the saw band
comes into contact with the workpiece. Do not
apply any additional pressure. Be careful to avoid
the saw band coming suddenly and abruptly into
contact with the surface of the workpiece. This re-
sults in serious damage to the saw band. In order
to achieve the maximum service life of the saw
band, ensure that no sudden impacts arise at the
start of the sawing process. NOTE: If the band
saw becomes jammed or stuck in the workpiece
material during sawing, release the on/off switch
(5) immediately to avoid damage to the saw band
and engine.
5. The net weight of the metal band saw delivers the
most efficient cutting pressure. If the pressure is
increased by the operator, the saw band becomes
slower and the service life of the band is reduced.
