7.2. Parallel stop (Figure 18)
•
Push the clip (21) on the parallel stop (24)
upwards.
•
Move the parallel stop (24) along the table
(15), from either the right or left of the blade
(26), and position as required.
•
Push the clip (21) down to fix the parallel stop
(24). If the clip (21) does not give enough
hold, turn it clockwise several times until the
parallel stop is securely fixed.
•
You must always ensure that the parallel stop
(24) is positioned parallel to the blade (26).
7.3. Angular cuts (Abb. 19)
To enable you to perform angular cuts parallel
to the blade (26), the table (15) can be tilted for-
wards between 0° - 45°.
•
Undo the fixing handles (18).
•
Tilt the saw table (15) forwards until the requi-
red angle value is set on the dial scale (16).
•
Re-tighten the fixing handles (18).
•
Important: When the table (15) is tilted, place
the parallel stop (24) to the right of the blade
(26) looking in the direction in which you are
working, on the side pointing downwards
(provided the workpiece is wide enough) in
order to stop the workpiece from slipping off.
8. Operation
Caution! After every new adjustment we recom-
mend you to make a trial cut in order to check the
new settings.
•
For all cutting operations it is important to
position the blade guide (11) as close as pos-
sible to the workpiece (see 6.5).
•
Always guide the workpiece with both hands,
holding it flat on the table (15) in order to pre-
vent the blade (26) from jamming.
•
Feed the workpiece at a uniform speed that
enables the blade to cut through the material
without difficulty and without blocking.
•
Always use the parallel stop (24) on all cuts
for which they are intended.
•
Always aim at making a complete cut in one
pass rather than in a stop-and-go operation
requiring the workpiece to be withdrawn. If
you have to withdraw the workpiece, switch
off the bandsaw first and wait for the blade
(26) to stop before freeing the workpiece.
•
The workpiece must always be guided by the
longer side during cutting.

Important! When handling narrower workpieces,
it is essential to use a push stick. The push stick
(28) must always be kept close at hand at the
hook (29) provided for that purpose on the side of
the saw.
8.1. Longitudinal cuts (Figure 20)
Longitudinal cutting is when you use the saw to
cut along the grain of the wood.
•
Place the parallel stop (24) to the left of the
blade (25), as far as possible, for the width
required.
•
Lower the blade guide (11) down to the work-
piece (see 6.5).
•
Switch on the saw.
•
Press the edge of the workpiece with your
right hand to hold it securely against the par-
allel stop (24) and flat on the table (15).
•
Guide the workpiece along the parallel stop
(24) and through the blade (26) at a uniform
speed.
•
Danger! Long workpieces must be secured
against falling off at the end of the cut (e.g.
with a roller stand etc.)
8.2. Making angular cuts (Fig. 19)
•
Set the saw table to the desired angle (see
7.3).
•
Carry out the cut as described in 8.1.
8.3. Freehanded cuts (Figure 21)
One of the most outstanding features of a band-
saw is the ease with which it allows you to make
curved cuts and radii.
•
Lower the blade guide (11) to the workpiece
(see 6.5).
•
Switch on the saw.
•
Hold the workpiece securely on the table (15)
and guide slowly through the blade (26).
•
Freehanded cuts should be made at low feed
speed so that you can guide the blade (26)
along the required line.
•
It often pays to first cut off surplus curves and
corners up to about 6 mm from the cutting
line.
•
In the case of curves which are too tight for
the blade to cut correctly, it can help to make
a series of close-lying cuts at right angles to
the curved line. When you saw the radius the
material will simply drop off.
