• Always use the parallel stop (24) for all cutting processes 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 possible to avoid drawing the workpiece back then the band
saw must be switched off first. Only draw the workpiece back once the
bandsaw blade (21) has come to a standstill.
• When sawing, the workpiece must always be guided by its longest
side.
• Attention! When processing narrower workpieces it is essential to
use a Push stick. The Push stick (26) must always be stored within
reach, on the Push Stick retainer (48) provided for this purpose on the
side of the saw.
10.1 Performing longitudinal cuts (Fig. 18)
Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction.
• Position the longitudinal fence (24) on the left side (if possible) of the
Bandsaw blade (21), in accordance with the desired width.
• Lower the saw band guide (5) onto the workpiece (8.5).
• Switch on the saw (see 10.1).
• Press one edge of the workpiece against the longitudinal fence (24)
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
(24) into the Bandsaw blade (21).
• 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. 17)
• 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.
