I. Safety
This machine is designed for sawing wood, wood derived materials as well as similar to be machined hard plascs only. Machining of other
materials is not permied and may be carried out in specic cases only aer consulng with the manufacturer. No metal workpieces may be
machined. The workpiece must allow to safely be loaded, supported and guided. The proper use also includes compliance with the operang
and maintenance instrucons given in this manual. The machine must be operated only by persons familiar with its operaon and mainte-
nance and who are familiar with its hazards. The required minimum age must be observed The machine must only be used in a technically
perfect condion When working on the machine, all safety mechanisms and covers must be mounted. In addion to the safety requirements
contained in these operang instrucons and your country’s applicable regulaons, you should observe the generally recognized technical
rules concerning the operaon of woodworking machines. Any other use exceeds authorizaon. In the event of unauthorized use of the
machine, the manufacturer renounces all liability and the responsibility is transferred exclusively to the operator.
II. General Safety Notes
Woodworking machines can be dangerous if not used properly. Therefore the appropriate general technical rules as well as the following
notes must be observed. Read and understand the enre instrucon manual before aempng assembly or operaon. Keep this operang
instrucon close by the machine, protected from dirt and humidity, and pass it over to the new owner if you part with the tool. No changes
to the machine may be made. Daily inspect the funcon and existence of the safety appliances before you start the machine. Do not aempt
operaon in this case, protect the machine by unplugging the mains cord. Remove all loose clothing and conne long hair.Before operang
the machine, remove e, rings, watches, other jewellery, and roll up sleeves above the elbows. Wear safety shoes; never wear leisure shoes
or sandals. Always wear the approved working ouit - safety goggles - ear protecon - dust protecon. Do not wear gloves while operang
this machine. For the safe handling of saw blades wear work gloves.
Observe the chapter “save operaon” in this manual. Control the stopping me of the machine, it may not be longer than 10 seconds. Insure
that the workpiece does not roll when cung round pieces. Use suitable table extensions and supporng aids for dicult to handle workpiec-
es. Always lower the blade guide close to the workpiece. With the machine table is inclined use the fence and posion it on the boom side
only. Always hold and guide the workpieces safely during machining. Remove cut and jammed workpieces only when motor is turned o and
the machine is at a complete standsll. Install the machine so that there is sucient space for safe operaon and workpiece handling. Keep
work area well lighted. The machine is designed to operate in closed rooms and must be placed stable on rm and levelled ground. Make
sure that the power cord does not impede work and cause people to trip.
Keep the oor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease. Stay alert! Give your work undivided aenon. Use
common sense. Keep an ergonomic body posion. Maintain a balanced stance at all mes. Do not operate the machine when you are red.
Do not operate the machine under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or any medicaon. Be aware that medicaon can change your behaviour.
Keep children and visitors a safe distance from the work area. Never reach into the machine while it is operang or running down. Never leave
a running machine unaended. Before you leave the workplace switch o the machine. Do not operate the electric tool near inammable
liquids or gases. Observe the re ghng and re alert opons, for example the re exnguisher operaon and place. Do not use the machine
in a dump environment and do not expose it to rain. Wood dust is explosive and can also represent a risk to health. Dust form some tropical
woods in parcular, and from hardwoods like beach and oak, is classied as a carcinogenic substance.
Always use a suitable dust extracon device Before machining, remove any nails and other foreign bodies from the workpiece. Use a push
block when working the ends of narrow stock. Always store the push sck or the push wood handle with the machine, also when not in use.
Specicaons regarding the maximum or minimum size of the workpiece must be observed. Do not remove chips and workpiece parts unl
the machine is at a complete standsll.
Do not stand on the machine. Connecon and repair work on the electrical installaon may be carried out by a qualied electrician only. Have
a damaged or worn cord replaced immediately. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power
source. Remove defecve saw blades immediately.
Remaining hazards: When using the machine according to regulaons some remaining hazards may sll exist The moving saw blade in the
work area can cause injury. Broken saw blades can cause injuries. Thrown workpieces can lead to injury Wood chips and sawdust can be
health hazards. Be sure to wear personal protecon gear such as safety goggles ear- and dust protecon. Use a suitable dust exhaust system.
The use of incorrect mains supply or a damaged power cord can lead to injuries caused by electricity.
Noise & Dust Emissions:
Noise: Determined according to EN 1807 (Inspecon tolerance 3 dB) Workpiece beech: T=30mm, L=1500mm, moisture 8,5%. Acousc power
level (according to EN ISO 3746): Idling LwA 85,0 dB(A) Operang LwA 96,4 dB(A). Acousc pressure level (EN ISO 11202): Idling LpA 72,6
dB(A) Operang LpA 83,4 dB(A). The specied values are emission levels and are not necessarily to be seen as safe operang levels. Although
there is a correlaon between emission and emission levels, these do not constute a basis for determining the necessity of addional safety
measures. Workplace condions which could inuence the noise emission level include the duraon of resonance, spaal parculars, other
noise sources etc. For example, the number of machines and other work being performed. The permissible workplace levels can vary from
country to country. This informaon is intended to allow the user to make a beer esmaon of the hazards and risks involved.
Dust: The band saw has been dust emission inspected. At an air velocity of 20 m/s on the dust port dia 100mm: Vacuum pressure 1250 Pa
Volume ow 565 m³/h. The machine meets a workplace dust emission limit of 2 mg/m³.

Correct working posion: In front of the machine standing in the
direcon of cung.
Workpiece handling: Hands placed at on the workpiece outside
the cung area. Feed the workpiece towards the saw blade in the
direcon of the saw line, and cut as required by turning to follow the
line drawn. Push the workpiece steadily forward; complete the cut
as a single movement. Do not draw the workpiece back, as this could
cause the sawblade to run o its wheels.
Support long and wide workpieces with helping roller stands.
Operang hints: Work only with a sharp and awless sawblade.
Near the cung area use a push sck to feed. Use a feeding tem-
plate to safely guide small and narrow workpieces. Use a suitable
wedge to prevent round mber from turning under the pressure of
the cut.
Workpiece setup:
Bring the upper blade guide to a distance of approx 2-5mm to the
workpiece. (See Fig 17).
For your own safety, always set the saw guide as close to the work-
piece as possible.
To adjust the cung height release the winged nut (A, Fig 18) and
move the upper blade guide and guard assembly (B).
Blade Dri Compensaon:
Blade dri is a frequent problem on rip cuts and during resawing.
Blade dri may occur when the fence is being used, the blade begins
to wander o the cung line (Fig. 19).
Blade dri can be caused by a number of factors.
- The saw blade follows the grain
- The saw blade is dull.
- Blade guides not adjusted correctly.
- Blade tension unsucient.
- Blade-teeth have asymmetric “set”.
Auxiliary fence for rip fence: For your own safety always set the up-
per saw guide as close to the workpiece as possible.
For narrow shallow cuts on the rip fence a self-made auxiliary fence
(E, Fig. 20) made of cutable material ( e.g. wood, plasc, aluminium)
must be used. Length same as rip fence.

VI. Setup and adjustments
General note:
Setup and adjustment work may only be carried out aer the machine is protected against accidental starng by pulling the mains plug.
Changing the sawblade
The sawblade has to meet the technical specicaon. Choose a suitable sawblade, according to the cung operaon and according to the
material to be cut.
For high rip cuts:
- use a wide sawblade (e.g. 13mm), coarse teethed.
For narrow curved cuts:
- use a narrow sawblade (e.g. 6mm).
Check sawblade for aws (cracks, broken teeth, bending) before installaon. Do not use faulty sawblades. The sawblade teeth must point in
cung direcon (down). Always wear suitable gloves when handling sawblades. The sawblades may only be changed when the mains plug
is pulled!
Replacing the bandsaw blade
Note: The Band Saw comes equipped with a factory-installed 1712x9.5x0.35(67.5" x 0.375" x 0.014"), 6TPI blade . Disconnect machine from
power source. Open upper and lower doors (Figure 22) by rotang the knobs. Loosen lock knob (G, Figure 21) and pull extension (H, Figure
22) away from table.
Remove guide rail (E, Figure 9). Release tension on blade by moving tension handle (Q, Figure 23) to the right.
Refer to Figure 22: Remove blade from upper and lower wheels (K,L) and from between upper and lower blade guides (M,N).
Remove blade through slot (O) in table.
Guide the new blade through table slot (O) leading with the smooth edge.
Place it around the upper and lower wheels and into the upper and lower blade
guides (M,N).
Note: The blade teeth should face the operator, and they should point down
toward the table.
Posion the blade to track in the middle of the rubber res on the wheels (K,L).
Engage tension on the blade by moving quick tension handle (Q, Figure 23) to
the le.
Replace guide rail (E, Figure 9).
Before operang the saw, check that the blade is tracking and has proper ten-
sion.
