Fig 9
WARNING: Never use mitre gauge and rip fence at the same
time. The blade might bind in the workpiece. Operator could be
injured and/or workpiece could be damaged.
5.3 Mains connection
Mains connection and any extension cords used must comply
with applicable regulations.
The mains voltage must comply with the information on the
machine licence plate.
The mains connection must have a 10 A surge-proof fuse.
Only use power cords marked H07RN-F
Connections and repairs to the electrical equipment may only
be carried out by qualified electricians.
5.4 Dust connection
Before initial operation, the machine must be connected to a
dust extractor (P, Fig 10). The suction should switch on
automatically when the band saw is switched on.
Fig 10
5.5 Starting operation
You can start the machine with the green ON-button.
The machine lamp starts automatically when the motor is
turned on.
The red OFF-button on the main switch stops the machine.
6. Machine operation
Correct working position:
In front of the machine standing in the direction of cutting.
Cut preparation:
Bring the upper blade guide to a distance of approximately
0,5cm to the workpiece (Fig 11).
Fig 11
For your own safety, always set the saw guide as close to the
workpiece as possible.
Work only with a sharp and flawless sawblade.
Make sure blade is tracked and tensioned correctly.
Make sure blade guides are adjusted correctly.
If using the fence, move it into position and lock it. Work only
with rip fence securely locked in place.
Turn on band saw and allow it to reach full speed.
Workpiece handling:
Hands placed flat on the workpiece outside the cutting area.
Feed the workpiece towards the saw blade in the direction 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 off its wheels.
Support long and wide workpieces with helping roller stands.
Safe operating hints:
Near the cutting area use a push stick to feed.
Use a feeding template to safely guide small and narrow
workpieces.
Use a suitable wedge to prevent round timber from turning
under the pressure of the cut.

7. Setup and adjustments
General note:
Setup and adjustment work may only be carried out after the
machine is protected against accidental starting by pulling the
mains plug.
7.1 Changing the sawblade
The sawblade has to meet the technical specification.
Choose a suitable sawblade, according to the cutting operation
and according to the material to be cut.
For high rip cuts:
- use a wide sawblade (e.g. 10mm), coarse teethed.
For narrow curved cuts:
- use a narrow sawblade (e.g. 3mm).
Check sawblade for flaws (cracks, broken teeth, bending) before
installation. Do not use faulty sawblades.
The sawblade teeth must point in cutting direction (down)
Always wear suitable gloves when handling sawblades.
The sawblades may only be changed when the mains plug is
pulled!
To remove the blade:
Open the wheel covers.
Remove the table slot bolt (J, Fig 13).
Release the blade tension ( (A and J)

Fig 13
Open the upper and lower blade guards (Fig 14)
Fig 14
Remove the saw blade.
7.2 Folding the saw blade
Hold the band saw blade in one hand. Let it hang down
vertically and hold it to the floor with a foot. Turn your hand
through 360° (a complete circle), as you move it down towards
the floor.
7.3 Blade tracking adjustment
Blade tracking shall never be performed when the machine is
running.
- Disconnect band saw from power source.
- To check the blade tracking, rotate drive wheel by hand in
clockwise direction. View blade through tracking window.
Fig 15
- Proper tracking is achieved when driver and idler wheels are
aligned. Tracking knob (K, Fig 13) is used to tilt upper wheel and
align blade wheels.
- If blade rides away from cabinet, turn knob clockwise. If blade
rides toward cabinet, turn knob counter clockwise.
- When blade is tracking properly (Fig 15), secure position by
tightening nut.
7.4 Blade tension adjustment
Blade tension is set with the blade tension knob (A, Fig 13)
Tighten the placed sawblade sufficiently.
Quick blade tension lever :
To operate the machine, place the quick blade tension lever (I,
Fig 13) to the up position.
Note:
When the band saw is not in use, place the quick blade tension
lever to the lowered position, this will prolong the blade’s life.
7.5 Blade guide adjustment
Blade guide adjustment shall never be performed when the
machine is running.
Open the wheel covers.
Open the upper and lower blade guards (Fig 14)
Upper blade guide :
- Upper blade guides employ guide pins for side support and a
ball bearing for rear support.
- Loosen screws (Y, Fig 16) and adjust guide pins (X) to sides of
the blade.
Check that guide pins are approximately 0.05mm away from
blade (G).
A quick way to achieve the spacing needed (~0,05mm) is placing
a paper note between blade and guide pins.
- Lock adjustment by tightening screws.

10
Fig 16
The guide pins may not touch the sawblade teeth.
Adjust the guide pin assembly accordingly (Fig 17).
Fig 17
- Adjust ball bearing (U, Fig 18) at rear of blade by loosening
socket head bolt (V) and repositioning shaft.
- Position ball bearing ~ 0.3mm away from back of blade.
- Secure position of bearing by tightening socket head bolt (V).
Fig 18
Lower blade guide :
- Lower blade guides employ guide pins for side support and
bearing for rear support (Fig 19).
Fig 19
Adjust in same manner as on upper blade guide.
7.6 Mitre gauge setup
Setup adjustments shall never be performed when the machine
is running.
Use a gauge to exactly set up for 90°
Adjust the mitre gauge profile to be close to the sawblade.
Start the machine with care.
7.7Tilting of machine table
The table tilts from 0° to 45° to the right.
- Turn the table tilt lock lever (S, Fig 20) counter clockwise.
- Turn the table tilt adjustment knob (Q) until the pointer is at
the desired angle on the table tilt scale (T).
- Tighten the table tilt locking knob in order to secure the table.
Fig 20
Test run:
Turn the wheels by hand and inspect the adjustments made.
Start the machine with care.
8. Maintenance and inspection
General note:
Maintenance, cleaning and repair work may only be carried
out after the machine is protected against accidental starting
by pulling the mains plug.
Repair and maintenance work on the electrical system may only
be carried out by a qualified electrician.
