11. Working instructions

11.1 Tips for better sawing (Fig. 7)
The following recommendations should be applied as
a guideline (see "Recommended sawing positions" ta-
ble in figure 7).
• Never twist the saw band during the cutting pro-
cess.
• Never use liquid coolant for the metal band saw.
The use of liquid coolants causes deposits on the
rubber belts (7) and reduces the cutting perfor-
mance.
• If severe vibrations arise during the cutting pro-
cess, make sure that the sawn workpiece is se-
curely clamped. If the vibrations continue, replace
the saw band.
• Secure the workpiece against slipping, e.g. using
the vice (16) of the saw table (24).
• Use the net weight of the saw when sawing. Do not
apply any additional pressure.
• Wait until the saw has reached its full speed before
carefully bringing it into contact with the workpiece.
• If the saw band (7) is blocked, switch the device off
immediately.
• Do not twist the saw band (7) while cutting.
• Ensure that the device is stable and safe. The device
can be secured in a suitable place for safety. There
are 4 holes (25) in the base of the enclosure for fixing
on a firm and level surface. To do this, insert suitable
fixing material (not included in the scope of delivery)
corresponding to the base through the 4 holes (25).
Use the fixing material to fix the device to the base.
m WARNING!
Remove the workpiece only after the saw has come to
a standstill.
