10.3 Performing longitudinal cuts, Fig. A
Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction.
• Position the longitudinal fence (5) on the left side
(if possible) of the saw band (Fig. A), in accordance
with the desired width.
• Lower the saw band guide (4) onto the workpiece.
• Switch on the saw.
• Press one edge of the workpiece against the lon-
gitudinal fence (5) whilst the flat side lies on the
saw bench (6).
• Slide the workpiece at an even feed rate along the
longitudinal fence (5) into the saw band (Fig. 15).
• Important: Long workpieces must be secured
against tipping at the end of the cutting process
(e.g. with reel-off stand, etc.)
Attention! When processing narrower workpieces it is
essential to use a push stick. The push stick (29) must
always be stored within reach, on the hook (24) pro-
vided for this purpose on the side of the saw (Fig. 2).
10.4 Performing angled cuts, Fig. B+6
• In order to execute angled cuts parallel to the saw
band (Fig. B), it is possible to tilt the saw bench (6)
forwards from 0° - 45°.
• Release the locking handle (20) (Fig. 6).
• Tilt saw bench (6) forwards, until the desired angle
is set on the degree scale. (Fig. 6)
• Retighten the locking handle (20).(Fig. 6)
• Attention! With a tilted saw bench (6), the longitu-
dinal fence (5) must be positioned on the downward
facing side to the right of the saw band in the working
direction (Fig. B) (if the workpiece width allows this),
in order to secure the workpiece against slipping.
Attention! After every new setting, we recommend
performing a test cut, in order to check the dimen-
sional settings.
• With all cutting processes, the top band guide (4)
must be positioned as close as possible to the work-
piece.
• The workpiece must always be guided with both
hands and kept flat against the band saw bench
(6), in order to prevent a jamming of the saw band.
• Forward feeding should always take place with an
even pressure, which is just sufficient for the saw
band to cut through the material with ease without
becoming blocked.
• Always use the longitudinal fence (5) 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 pos-
sible to avoid drawing the workpiece back then the
band saw must be switched off first, and the work-
piece only drawn back once the saw band has come
to a standstill.
• When sawing, the workpiece must always be guided
by its longest side.
• Perform the cut as described under „Performing
longitudinal cuts".
Attention! When processing narrower workpieces it
is essential to use a push stick. The push stick (29)
must always be stored within reach, on the hook pro-
vided for this purpose on the side of the saw (Fig. 2).
10.5 Executing cuts with the transverse cutting
gauge, Fig. E+F+20
• Set transverse cutting gauge (30) to the desired an-
gle (see 10.2)
• Lower the saw band guide (4) onto the workpiece.
• Switch on the saw
• Press the workpiece against the cross-cut gauge
and slide it onto the saw blade at an even rate of
feed.
10.6 Freehand cuts, Fig. D+C
One of the most important features of a band saw is
the ease with which it can cut curves and radii.
• Lower the saw band guide (4) onto the workpiece.
• Switch on the saw.
• Press the workpiece firmly onto the saw bench (6)
and slowly slide into the saw band.
• In many cases it is helpful to roughly saw curves
and corners approximately 6 mm from the line.
If it is necessary to saw curves that are too tight for the
saw band used, auxiliary cuts must be sawn up to the
front face of the curve, so that these fall off as wood
waste when the final radius is sawn.
Attention!
For all cutting operations, the upper saw blade guid-
ance (4) should be as close as possible to the work-
piece.
• To do this, open the adjustment handle for saw blade
safety device (13). (Fig. 2)
• Lower the upper saw blade guide (4) and the saw
blade guard (3) as close as possible to the work-
piece.
