Before Starting The Equipment; Attachment - Scheppach 5901502905 Original Bedienungsanleitung

• Risk of injury due to starting saw band while
switching on the machine.
• The use of incorrect or damaged mains cables can
lead to injuries caused by electricity.
• Wear only closefitting clothes. Remove rings,
bracelets and other jewelry.
• For the safety of long hair, wear a cap or hair net. Even
when all safety measures are taken, some remaining
hazards which are not yet evident may still be present.
• Remaining hazards can be minimized by follow-
ing the instructions in „General safety instructions"
„Proper Use" and in the entire operating manual.

8. Before starting the equipment

Make sure the machine stands securely, i.e. bolt it to
a workbench or solid base. There are two holes for
this purpose in the machine foot. (Fig. 17)
• The saw table must be mounted correctly.
• All covers and safety devices have to be properly
fitted before the machine is switched on.
• It must be possible for the blade to run freely.
• When working with wood that has been processed
before, watch out for foreign bodies such as nails
or screws etc.
• Before you actuate the On/Off switch, make sure
that the saw blade is correctly fitted and that the
machine's moving parts run smoothly.
• Before you connect the machine to the power
supply, make sure the data on the rating plate is
the same as that for your mains.

ATTENTION!
Before all maintenance, set-up and assembly work
on the band saw, unplug the mains plug.
Assembly tools
1 Open-ended spanner, size 10/13
1 Allen key, size 3
1 Allen key, size 6
The saw table is not assembled for packaging reasons.
9.1. Assembling the saw table (Fig. 1-4)
• Open the side covers (11) by undoing the top (13) and
bottom (10) cover locks. First unlock the top cover
lock (13) with the help of the 6 mm Allen key (29) by
turning this counter-clockwise. Then unlock the bot-
tom cover lock (10) by unscrewing it counter-clock-
wise.
• Set the swivel section to 30° by loosening the saw
table locking handle (21) (fig. 2).
• Guide the saw table (7) over the saw blade (22).
• Screw the saw table (7) to the swivel section (18) with
4 M6x12 hex screws. Do not fully tighten the screws.
• Swivel the saw table into the 0° position and tighten
the saw table locking handle (21).
• Align the tabletop parallel to the saw blade. Tighten
the 4 hex screws.
• Once adjustment is complete, close the side cover
(11) again with the bottom (10) and top (13) cover
locks in reverse order.

• Loosen the 3 hex nuts (X) ca. 2 turns and slide the
swivel section with the mounted saw table. The saw
band must run centrally in the table insert (6) (fig.
3). Then tighten the 3 hex. nuts (X) again (fig. 4).
9.2. Mounting the guide rail for the parallel stop
(26) on the table (7) (Fig. 3)
• Screw in the 4 wing screws M6x12 (31), each with
a flat washer (32), ca. 5 mm into the saw table (7).
• Insert the guide rail for the parallel stop (26) until it
stops against the table.
• Then tighten the 4 wing nuts.
9.3. Adjusting the parallel stop (Fig. 5)
• Place the parallel stop (25) on the guide rail (26) for
the parallel stop, to the left of the saw blade, and
clamp it firmly in place (see 10.2). The parallel stop
must now be parallel to the cut-out in the saw table
(7). It can be corrected by loosening the cylindrical
screws (34). A 4 mm Allen key (not included) is re-
quired for this. Remove the protective cap (Fig. 5.1).
9.3.1 Adjusting the scale (Fig. 5)
If necessary, the scale can be readjusted to the guide
rail for the parallel stop.
• Place the longitudinal stop to the left of the saw
blade, on the guide rail for the parallel stop.
• Measure 50 mm from the saw blade to the parallel
stop. The graduation mark on the magnifying glass
(33) should now be at 50 mm.
• If this is not the case, then loosen the Philips head
screw (K) on the scale and set this to 50 mm. Tight-
en the Philips head screw again.
9.4. Tensioning the saw band (Fig. 1a)
ATTENTION! If the saw is at a standstill for an ex-
tended period the saw band tension must be re-
lieved, i.e. before switching the saw on it is neces-
sary to check the saw blade tension.
• Turn the clamping screw (1) clockwise to tension
the Bandsaw blade (22). The correct tension of
the saw band can be determined by pressing the
finger laterally against the saw band, roughly cen-
trally between the two saw band rollers (2+8). The
Bandsaw blade (22) should only depress slightly
(approx. 1-2 mm) here.
• The sufficiently tensioned saw band makes a me-
tallic sound when tapped.
• Relieve the saw band tension if it is not in use
for an extended time, so that it does not become
overstretched.
ATTENTION! With high tension, the saw band may
break. RISK OF INJURY! If the tension is too low,
the driven saw band roller (8) may spin, resulting in
the saw band coming to a standstill.
9.5 Adjusting the saw band (Fig. 1a+1b)
ATTENTION! Before it is possible to implement the
saw band setting, the saw band must be tensioned
correctly.
• Open the side covers (11) by undoing the top (13)
and bottom (10) cover locks. First unlock the top
