Side correction (Fig. U)
• The sawblade should run in the centre of the band
wheels.
• Turn the upper band wheel by hand in the cutting
direction, and make the side correction by means of
the handle (w).
Attention! The saw band should run over the centre of
the band wheel after multiple turns. Visual inspection!
• Turn the band wheel by hand in the cutting direction
while determining the final tension with the tension
screw (11). The degree of tensioning depends on the
sawblade width. Wide sawblades must be tensioned
more than narrow ones.
• After successful setting firmly tighten the locknut (x).
Close the guard.
• Attention: Too strong a tensioning will cause prema-
ture breaking.
• Fit the table width enlargement in reverse order.
(Fig. K - O)
• After termination of the work, always relieve the ten-
sion by releasing tension bolt (11).
8.8 Setting the number of revolutions
(Fig. V + W + X)
Pull the mains plug!
• Open lower guard.
• Release the belt with the tension handle (12).
• Put the belt into the desired position. (S1 or S2).
• Retension the belt with the tension handle (12).
• Close the lower guard.
Rpm range:
• Rpm stage 1 360 m/min.
- For processing hardwood, materials similar to
hardwood and for fine cuts.
• Rpm stage 2 720 m/min.
- For processing softwoods and for less fine cuts.
8.9 Sawblade guiding (Fig. Y)
The sawblade guiding is adjusted with the fixing button
(13).
The upper sawblade guiding can be set from 0 to 175
mm work piece height.
A clearance as small as possible to the work piece en-
sures an optimum sawblade guiding and safe working.

Back pressure bearings (Fig. Z + AA)
The back pressure bearings (y) accept the feed pres-
sure of the work piece. Set the upper and lower back
pressure bearing in such a way that it slightly touches
the sawblade back. Tighten the screws (aa). The dis-
tance should be 0.5 mm.
Upper guide rollers (Fig. Z)
Set the upper guide rollers (z) to the corresponding
sawblade width. The front edges of the guide rollers
must not exceed the tooth base of the sawblade. When
the guide rollers slightly touch the sawblade, tighten
the screws (aa).
Lower guide fingers (Fig. AA)
Set the lower guide fingers (ab) to the corresponding
sawblade width. The front edges of the guide fingers
must not exceed the tooth base of the sawblade. When
the guide fingers slightly touch the sawblade, tighten
the set screws(ac).
The sawblade must not jam!
Storing the push rod (Fig. AB)
In order to have the push rod (ae) to hand at all times,
hang it on the device (ad) intended for this, at the top
left side of your band saw.
8.10 Transverse cutting gauge (14) (optional)
(Fig. AC)
• Slide lateral stop (aj) into a groove (af) in the saw
bench.
• Release the grip screw (ag).
• Turn the lateral stop (aj) until the desired angular di-
mension has been set. The arrow on the lateral stop
indicates the set angle.
• Retighten the grip screw (ag).
• The stop rail (ai) can be slid against the lateral stop
(aj). To do so, loosen the knurled screws (ah) and
slide the stop rail (ai) into the desired position. Tight-
en the knurled screws (ah) again.
• Attention! Do not slide the stop rail (ai) too far in the
direction of the saw blade.
8.11 On/Off switch (Fig. A)
• To turn the machine on, press the green button „1"
(10). Before starting sawing, wait until the saw blade
has reached its maximum speed.
• To turn the machine off again, press the red button
„0" (10).
