Handle (g. 4)

m For safety reasons, please disconnect the power

cable from the mains.

• The handle (1) allows the user to maintain a rm

hold during use.

• The handle (1) can be turned into any arbitrary

position.

• To do so, loosen the Allen screw.

• Now turn the handle (1) into a comfortable and safe

working position and tighten the screw again rmly.

Switching on the lamp (g. 3)

• To switch on the lamp, press the „I (ON)” side of

the lamp switch (3). To switch off, press the „O

(OFF)” side of the switch.

NOTE:

• Wipe any dirt off the lamp lens with a dry cloth. Be

careful to avoid scratching the lamp lens, because

this can severely reduce the light intensity.

• Do not use thinners or spirit to clean the lamp.

Such solvents may damage the lamp.

• Always switch the lamp off after work by pressing

the „O (OFF)” side.

Speed setting wheel (g. 3)

The machine speed can be set between 0.7 m/s

and 2.4 m/s by turning the speed setting wheel (4).

By turning the setting wheel towards the number 6

you increase the speed, whilst turning it towards 1

reduces the speed. Choose a suitable speed for the

workpiece to be cut.

m CAUTION:

The speed setting wheel (4) can only be turned up

to 6 and back to 1. If it is forcibly turned past 6 or

beyond 1, it may no longer be possible to adjust the

speed.

m CAUTION:

Never change the speed while the machine is run-

ning device.

Adjusting the workpiece stop (g. 5)

m For safety reasons, please disconnect the power

cable from the mains

• During normal operation, the workpiece stop must

be secured in the lowest position.

• If the workpiece stop should butt against an obsta-

cle at the end of a cut, e.g. a wall or similar, loosen

the two screws and slide the plate upwards. Se-

cure the workpiece stop after sliding, by tightening

the two screws rmly.

Sawing process

1 Fasten the material to be sawn in a vice or an al-

ternative clamping device.

2 Bring the workpiece stop (9) in contact with the

workpiece, and whilst doing so hold the saw blade

away from the workpiece. Switch the saw on.

3 Once the saw has reached the desired speed, tilt

the main body of the tool slowly and cautiously

such that the band saw blade comes into contact

with the workpiece. Do not exert any additional

pressure, over and above the weight of the main

body of the tool. Be careful to avoid the band saw

blade coming suddenly and abruptly into contact

with the surface of the workpiece. This results in

serious damage to the band saw blade. In order to

achieve the maximum service life of the band saw

blade, ensure that no sudden impacts arise at the

start of the sawing process.

4 Straight cuts can be achieved if the band saw

blade is ush with the side surface of the motor

housing. Be aware of your viewing angle in this

case. Twisting the saw blade or holding it at an

angle causes the cut to run alongside the cutting

line, and this reduces the service life of the saw

blade.

NOTE: If the band saw becomes jammed or stuck

in the workpiece material during sawing, release

the switch immediately to avoid damage to the

band saw blade and motor.

5 The net weight of the tool delivers the most ef-

cient downward cutting pressure. If the pressure

is increased by the operator, the saw blade be-

comes slower and the service life of the cutting

edge is reduced.

6 End pieces that are so heavy they would cause

injuries if they were to fall should be supported.

Wearing safety shoes is strongly recommended.

End pieces may be hot and sharp.

7 If possible, hold the saw tight in both hands. If only

one hand is placed on the saw during an applica-

tion, the other hand should be kept away from the

saw blade area and it is necessary to avoid the

saw falling against the clamped or supported ma-

terial after cutting.

Tips for better sawing (g. 13)

The following recommendations should be applied

as a guideline (see table of recommended sawing

positions). The results are dependent on the operator

and the respective sawn material.

• Never twist the band saw blade during the cutting

process.

• Never use liquid coolant with portable band saws.

The use of liquid coolants causes deposits on the

bands and reduces the capacity.

• If severe vibrations arise during cutting, make sure

that the sawn material is securely clamped. If the

vibrations continue, replace the band saw blade.

Removing the saw blade (g. 6-11)

Attention: Pull out the mains plug!

• Rotate the saw blade tensioning lever (11) in a

clockwise direction to the stop, in order to relieve

the saw blade tension (see Figure 1).
