Saw band guide, Fig. 9
You can adjust the upper saw band guide up to a work
piece height of 205 mm (3). The smallest possible dis-
tance to the work piece ensures the optimum band guide
and a safe working!
Counterpressure bearing, Fig. 11
The counterpressure bearings (1) absorb the feed pres-
sure of the work piece.
Adjust the upper and lower counterpressure bearings in
such a manner that they slightly strike against the saw
band back.
Guiding rollers, Fig. 11
Adjust the upper and lower guiding rollers (2) to the corre-
sponding saw band width. The front edges of the guiding
rollers may at maximum extend until the tooth root surface
of the saw band. If the guiding rollers slightly touch the
saw band, fix the position of the rollers with the knurled
screw. The saw band must not choke up!
Working information:
The following recommendations are examples of the
safe use of band saws.
The following safe working methods should be seen as an
aid to safety. They cannot be applied suitably completely
or comprehensively to every use. They cannot treat every
possible dangerous condition and must be interpreted
carefully.
• Connect the machine to a suction unit when working
in closed rooms. A suction device which conforms with
commercial regulations must be used for suction in
commercial areas.
• Loosen the sawband when the machine is not in opera-
tion (e.g. after finishing work). Attach a notice on the
tension of the saw band to the machine for the next
user.
• Collect unused sawbands and store them safely in a dry
place. Check for faults (teeth, cracks) before use. Do
not use faulty sawbands!
• Wear suitable gloves when handling sawbands.
• All protective and safety devices must be securely
mounted on the machine before beginning work.
• Never clean the sawband or the sawband guide with a
hand-held brush or scraper while the sawband is run-
ning. Resin-covered sawbands impair working safety
and must be cleaned regularly.
• For your own protection, wear protective glasses and
hearing protection. Wear a hairnet if you have long hair.
Roll up loose sleeves over the elbows.
• Always position the sawband guide as near the work-
piece as possible when working.
• Insure sufficient lighting in the work area and around
the machine.
• Always use the fence for straight cuts to keep the work-
piece from tipping or slipping away.
• When working on narrow workpieces with manual feed,
use the push stick.

• For diagonal cuts, place the saw bench in the appropri-
ate position and guide the workpiece on the fence.
• To cut dove-tails and dove-tailed tenons or wedges
swing the saw bench to the plus or minus position. In-
sure safe workpiece guidance.
• For arced and irregular cuts, push the workpiece evenly
using both hands with the fingers together. Hold the
workpiece with your hands on a safe area.
• Use a pattern for repeated arced or irregular cuts.
• Insure that the workpiece does not roll when cutting
round pieces.
• Use the traverse cutting gauge special accessory
for safety when making traverse cuts.
• To safely cut round plates, use the circular cutting unit
special accessory.
Maintenance
Perform resetting, measuring, and cleaning
work exclusively when the motor is turned
off. Disconnect the mains plug, and wait until the ro-
tating tool stands still.
All protection and safety devices must be immediate-
ly reinstalled once the repair and maintenance work
is completed.
The built-in ball bearings are maintenance-free.
Recommendations:
1. Slightly re-lubricate the slewing segments of the table
and the bend tensioning device.
2. Regularly clean the saw band. Wood leaves resin sedi-
ments. We recommend the deresinifying concentrate
Pharmol HEK, item no. 61009700 for the cleaning.
3. Regularly check the guiding rollers and the counter-
pressure bearings. If required, readjust or disassemble
them, and grease or exchange the parts.
4. Exchange worn-out table inserts (item no. 73240034).
5. Ensure that the tabletop is always free of resin.
6. Regularly lubricate the bearings of the speed hand-
wheel.
