Lower blade guard
The lower blade guard (33) protects
against inadvertent contact with the
band saw blade below the saw table.
Housing door
The housing door (34) protects against
contact with the rotating parts inside the
machine.
The housing door is fitted with a safety
interlock. This turns the motor OFF when
the housing door is opened while the
saw is running.
During operation the housing door must
be closed.
Push stick
The push stick serves as an extension of
the hand and protects against accidental
contact with the saw blade.
The push stick must always be used if
the distance between band saw blade
and a rip fence is less than 120 mm.
Guide the push stick at an angle of 20°
… 30° against the band saw table's sur-
face.
When the push stick is not used, it can
be stored on the push stick holder pro-
vided at the band saw frame.
Replace push stick if damaged.

Note:
In this chapter the essential oper-
ating elements of the machine are intro-
duced.
The proper use of the saw is detailed in
chapter “Operation”. Read this chapter
before using the saw for the first time.
ON/OFF switch
• To start = press green switch button
(35).
• To stop = press red switch button
(36).
In the event of a power failure an under-
voltage relay will trip. This prevents the
machine from starting up when the
power is restored. To restart, the green
switch button must be pressed.
Setting knob for band saw blade ten-
sion
With the setting knob (37) the band saw
blade tension is corrected, if necessary:
− Turning setting knob in direction
indicated by arrow increases the
blade tension.
− Turning setting knob in the opposite
direction reduces the blade tension.
Setting knob for blade tracking
adjustment
With the setting knob (38) the tilt of the
upper band saw wheel can be adjusted,
if necessary. This tracking adjustment is
required to have the blade run at the
front edge of the band saw wheels:
− Turning clockwise = blade moves to
the rear.
− Turning counter-clockwise = blade
moves to the front.
Saw table tilt
After loosening the locking screw (39)
the saw table (40) tilts steplessly through
20° against the blade.
Rip fence
The rip fence (41) is clamped to the
front. It can be used on both sides of the
blade.
A
Danger!
Start the saw only after the fol-
lowing preparations are completed:
− saw is mounted;
− saw table is installed and aligned;
