9.4.3 Adjusting the top guide pins (37) (Fig. 5+6)
• Undo Allen screws for top retainer (40)
• Move top retainer (39), top guide pins (37), until the front
edge of the guide pins (37) is approx. 1 mm behind the
tooth base of the saw band.
• Retighten Allen screws for top retainer (40).
• ATTENTION! The saw band will be unusable if the teeth
touch the guide pins with the saw band running.
• Undo Allen screws for top guide pins (38).
• Slide the guide pins (37) in the direction of the saw band!
• Attention! The distance between the guide pins (37) and
bandsaw blade (21) must not exceed 0.5 mm. (Saw band
must not jam)
• Retighten Allen screws (38).
• Turn the top saw band roller (2) a few times in a clockwise
direction.
• Check the setting of the top guide pins (37) again and adjust
if necessary.
• If necessary, adjust the top support bearing (36) (9.4.1).
9.4.4 Adjusting the bottom guide pins (46)
(Fig. 7+8)
• Disassemble saw table (7)
• Undo screw for bottom retainer (43) (Allen key, size 5)
• Move bottom retainer (47), bottom guide pins (46), until the
front edge of the bottom guide pins (46) is approx. 1 mm
behind the tooth base of the saw band.
• Retighten screw for bottom retainer (43).
• ATTENTION! The saw band will be unusable if the teeth
touch the guide pins with the saw band running.
• Undo Allen screws for bottom guide pins (45).
• Slide the two bottom guide pins (46) sufficiently far in the di-
rection of the saw band that the distance between the guide
pins (46) and bandsaw blade (21) is max. 0.5 mm. (Saw
band must not jam)
• Retighten Allen screws for bottom guide pins (45).
• Turn the bottom saw band roller (8) a few times in a clock-
wise direction.
• Check the setting of the bottom guide pins (46) again and
adjust if necessary.
• If necessary, adjust the bottom support bearing (42) (9.4.2).
9.5 Adjusting the top saw band guide (5) (Fig. 9)
• Undo locking handle for saw band guide (23).
• Turn the adjustment handle for the saw band guide (22) to
lower the saw band guide (5) as closely as possible (dis-
tance approx. 2-3 mm) over the material to be cut.
• Retighten locking handle (23).
• Check the setting before every cutting process and adjust if
necessary.
9.6 Adjusting the saw table (7) to 90° (Fig. 10+11)
• Set the top saw blade guide (5) fully upwards.
• Undo locking handle (20) and wing nut (31) (Fig. 2).
• Place the angle bracket between the bandsaw blade (21)
and saw table (7). Angle bracket not included in the scope
of supply.

GB/CY
• Tilt the saw table (7) by turning, until the angle to the band-
saw blade (21) is precisely 90°. If the saw table is already
on the screw (49) and a 90° angle cannot be set, undo the
nut (50) and shorten the screw (49) by turning in a clockwise
direction.
• Retighten the locking handle (20) and wing nut (31).
• Also undo the nut (50).
• Adjust the screw (49) sufficiently that the saw table touches
the underside.
• Retighten the nut (50) to fix the screw (49) in position.
9.7 Which saw band to use
The saw band supplied in the band saw is intended for uni-
versal use. The following criteria should be considered when
selecting the saw band:
• It is possible to cut tighter radii with a narrow saw band than
with a wide saw band.
• A wide saw band is used if a straight cut is required. This is
important in particular when cutting wood. The saw band
has a tendency to follow the wood grain and therefore devi-
ates easily from the desired cutting line.
• Fine-toothed saw bands cut more smoothly, but also more
slowly than coarse saw bands.
Attention: Never use bent or torn saw bands!
9.8 Replacing the saw band (Fig. 1a+1b+14)
• Set the saw band guide (5) at approx. half height between
the saw table (7) and machine frame (15).
• Undo the cover locking mechanisms (10) and open the side
covers (11).
• Remove U-reinforcement (34) as described in 9.1.
• Relieve the bandsaw blade (21) tension by turning the
clamping screw (1) anti-clockwise.
• Remove the bandsaw blade (21) from the saw band rollers
(2+8) and through the slot in the saw table (7).
• Place the new bandsaw blade (21) centrally on both saw
band rollers (2+8). The teeth of the bandsaw blade (21)
must point downwards in the direction of the saw table (Fig.
6).
• Tension the bandsaw blade (21) (see 9.2)
• Close the side cover (11) again.
• Re-install the U-reinforcement (34).
9.9 Replacing the table insert (Fig. 13)
• In case of wear or damage, the table insert (6) must be re-
placed; otherwise there is an increased risk of injury.
• Remove the worn table insert (6) by lifting it up and out.
• Installation of the new table insert takes place in reverse or-
der.
9.10 Extraction nozzle (Fig. 1b)
• The band saw is equipped with an extraction nozzle (19) Ø
40 mm for chips.
• Only operate the device with a suitable extraction system.
Check and clean the suction channels at regular intervals.
9.11 Push Stick retainer (Fig. 12)
• The Push Stick retainer (48) is pre-mounted on the machine
frame. If unused, the Push stick (26) must always be stowed
in the Push Stick retainer.
