• Put on a new saw band. Place the new saw band
in the middle of the two saw band rollers. The teeth
of the saw band must face down towards the saw
table.
Side correction (Fig. 11)
• 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 (J).
• Attention! The saw band should run over the cen-
tre 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 ten-
sioned more than narrow ones.
• After successful setting firmly tighten the locknut
(N). Close the guard.
• Attention: Too strong a tensioning will cause pre-
mature breaking.
• Fit the table width enlargement in reverse order.
(Fig. 7-7.4)
• After termination of the work, always relieve the ten-
sion by releasing tension bolt (11).
8.8 Setting the number of revolutions
(Fig. 12 + 13 + 13.1)
Pull the mains plug!
• Open lower guard. The table top has to be tilted
slightly.
• 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 660 m/min.
For processing hardwood, materials similar to hard-
wood and for fine cuts.
Rpm stage 960 m/min.
For processing softwoods and for less fine cuts.
8.9 Sawblade guiding (Fig. 14)
The sawblade guiding (4) 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. 15+16)
The back pressure bearings (e) 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 (g). The dis-
tance should be 0.5 mm.
Upper guide rollers (Fig. 15)
Set the upper guide rollers (f) 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 (g).
Lower guide rollers (Fig. 16)
Set the lower guide rollers (i) 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 (h).
The sawblade must not jam!
Storing the push rod (Fig. 17)
In order to have the push rod (R) to hand at all times,
hang it on the device (j) intended for this, at the top left
side of your band saw.
8.10 Transverse cutting gauge (14) (optional)
(Fig. 18)
• Slide lateral stop (o) into a groove (k) in the saw bench.
• Release the grip screw (l).
• Turn the lateral stop (o) until the desired angular
dimension has been set. The arrow on the lateral
stop indicates the set angle.
• Retighten the grip screw (l).
• The stop rail (n) can be slid against the lateral stop
(o). To do so, loosen the knurled screws (m) and
slide the stop rail (n) into the desired position. Tight-
en the knurled screws (m) again
• Attention! Do not slide the stop rail (n) too far in the
direction of the saw blade.
8.11 Suction port (Fig. 1)
The band saw is equipped with a rear suction port Ø 98
mm and a side suction port Ø 41 mm for chips. The rear
suction port is pre-mounted. The side suction port can
be mounted as shown in Fig. 5.2 with four screws and
four M6x10 washers.
