5. Tighten again the clamping screw (13) .

6. Use a bracket to check whether the saw table

is perpendicular to the saw belt.

If the saw table is not perpendicular to the saw belt,

please adjust the end stop screw (15) as follows:

1. Loosen the clamping screw (13) .

2. Use a hexagon key to turn the end stop screw

(15) through the hole (9) in the saw table

anticlockwise.

3. Using an angle, align the saw table at a right

angle to the saw belt and tighten again the

clamping screw (13) .

4. Using a hexagon spanner, turn the travel limit

screw (15) through the drilled hole (9) in the

saw table in a clockwise manner, until the

travel limit screw (15) barely touches the saw

housing.

6.5 Installing the Fence Guide

Extrusion

 Fasten fence guide extrusion (16) to the saw

table using four wing nuts and washers.

6.6 Fit fence guide extrusion

The rip fence (17) can be fitted both on the left or

the right of the saw belt.

Clamping the rip fence

1. Lock rip fence in the rear table edge.

2. Place the rip fence at the front on the fence

guide extrusion (16).

3. Fasten rip fence by pushing the clamping lever

(18) down.

6.7 Transport

Position upper belt guide (24) at the very bottom.

(For details see chapter 9.1).

Remove projecting accessories.

Do not lift or transport the saw at the safety

installations.

Transport the saw with the help of another person.

Note:

In this chapter the essential operating elements of

the machine are introduced.

The proper use of the machine is described in

chapter "Operation". Read this chapter before

using the saw for the first time.

ON/OFF Switch

 Switching on = Press green switch (2).

 Switching off = Press red switch (3).

Restart protection: An under-voltage relay is

triggered if the electricity fails. This prevents the

machine from starting up when the power is

restored. To restart, the green switch button must

be pressed.

Housing door turn-lock fastener

Use the turn-lock fastener (5) to open and close

the housing door.

Opening the upper/lower housing door:

1. Rotate the turn-lock fastener (5) several

revolutions in an anti-clockwise manner.

The housing door opens slightly. This

activates the door interlock which switches the

motor off.

Danger from exposed saw belts and

band saw wheels!

If the motor does not switch off immediately

after opening the door or if the door opens

immediately, the door locking mechanism or

the locking system is defective. Shut down the

saw and return it to the Service Centre in your

country for repair.

2. Rotate turn-lock fastener (5) further

anticlockwise.

The housing door opens wide.

Closing the upper/lower housing door:

 Press housing door and rotate turn-lock fastener

(5) clockwise until the housing door shuts

cleanly.

Setting knob for band saw belt tension

If necessary, the tension of the saw belt can be

corrected using the setting knob (19). (For details

see chapter 8.2).

Setting knob for angle of the upper band saw

roller (setting the run of the saw belt)

With the setting knob (27) the angle of the upper

band saw roller can be changed if required. By

adjusting the angle, the saw belt is aligned such

that it runs in the middle of the plastic tyres of the

band saw blade rollers. (For details see chapter

10.2).

Saw table tilt

After loosening the clamping screw (13) the saw

table (10) can be tilted infinitely up to 45° against

the saw belt.

Rip fence

The rip fence (17) is clamped to the front and is

also held in place with the hold-down clamp on the

back of the saw table. The rip fence can be used

on both sides of the saw belt. (For details see

chapter 6.6).

Mitre fence

The mitre fence (20) is inserted into the groove in

the saw table from the front.

For mitre cuts the mitre fence turns to 60° in both

directions.

For 45° and 90° mitres positive stops are provided.

To adjust an angle: Release the clamping handle

(21) by turning it anticlockwise.

Risk of injury!

The clamping handle (21) must be tight when

sawing with mitre fence.

Danger!

Start the saw only after the following

preparations have been completed:

– the saw is securely mounted;

–the saw table is installed and aligned;

– the safety devices checked.

Connect the saw to the mains supply only

after all of the above preparations are

completed! Otherwise there is a risk of an

unintentional starting of the saw, which may

cause serious personal injury.

8.1 Connect chip extraction

Danger!

Some types of sawdust (e.g. from oak, beech

and ash) can cause cancer if inhaled: Only

work in a closed room with a dust collector

(air speed at the extraction outlets of the saw

>= 20 m/s).

Caution!

Operation without a dust collector is only

possible:

– outdoors;

– for short use (up to max. 30 minutes);

– with dust respirator.

– If no dust collector is used chips will

accumulate, which need to be removed

periodically.

Connect duct collector or industrial vacuum

cleaner with appropriate adapter to the chip

extraction nozzles (12).

8.2 Tighten saw belt

Danger!

Too much tension can cause the saw belt to

break. Too little tension can cause the driven

band saw wheel to slip and the saw belt to

stop.

1. Move upper belt guide (24) to the very top.

(For details see chapter 9.1).

2. To check the tension, using your finger, press

against the saw belt in the middle between the

saw table and the upper belt guide (you must

not be able to impress the saw belt by more

than 3 to 5 mm laterally)

3. Correct tension if necessary:

– Turning the setting knob (19) clockwise

increases the tension.

– Turning the setting knob (19) anticlockwise

reduces the tension.

8.3 Connection to Power Mains

Danger! High voltage

 Operate the saw in only in a dry

environment.

 Operate the saw only on a power source

matching the following requirements (see

also "Technical Specifications"):

– Mains voltage and system frequency must

conform to the voltage and frequency

shown on the machine´s rating label;

– Protection with an FI switch with an

residual current of 30 mA;

– outlets properly installed, earthed or

grounded, and tested.

Note:

Check with your local Electricity Board or your

electrician if in doubt whether your house service

connection meets the requirements.

 Make sure the power supply cable is out of

the way, so that it does not interfere with

the work and does not pose a tripping

hazard or will get damaged.

 Protect the power supply cable from heat,

aggressive liquids and sharp edges.

 Use only rubber cables with sufficient

cross-section (3 x 1.5 mm

) as extension

cable.

 Do not pull on the power supply cable to

unplug.

Danger!

To reduce the risk of personal injury as much

as possible, the following safety

recommendations should be observed when

operating the saw.

 Use personal protection gear:

–dust respirator;

– ear protection;

–safety goggles.

 Cut only one work piece at a time.

 Always hold the work piece down on the

table.

 Do not jam any work pieces.

 Do not try to slow the saw belt down or stop

it by pushing the work piece against the

saw belt from the side.

 If the type of work requires, use the

following:

– Push stick – if the distance to the stop

profile – saw belt <=120 mm;

– work support – for long stock, which

would otherwise fall off the table on

completion of the cut;

– dust collector;

– an appropriate jig when cutting round

stock, to keep it from turning;
