OPERATION ADVICES
Important! After every new adjustment we
recommend 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 possible to the workpiece.
•
Always guide the workpiece with both
hands, holding it flat on the table (15)
in order to prevent the blade (25) from
jamming.
•
Feed the workpiece at a uniform speed
that enables the blade to cut through
the
material
without blocking.
•
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withdrawn.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 (25) to stop
before freeing the workpiece.
•
The workpiece must always be guided
by the longer side during cutting.
Important!
When
workpieces, it is essential to use a push stick.
The push stick (28) must always be kept close
at hand at then hook(29) provided for that
purpose on the side of the saw (Fig. 27).

Longitudinal cuts
Longitudinal cutting (also known as slitting) is
when you use the saw to cut along the grain of
the wood.
•
Place the parallel stop (23) to the left of
the blade (25), as far as possible, for
the width required.
•
Lower the blade guide (11) down to the
workpiece.
•
Switch the saw on.
•
Press the edge of the workpiece with
your right hand to hold it securely
against the parallel stop (23) and flat
on the table (15).
•
Guide the workpiece along the parallel
stop (23) and through the blade (25) at
a uniform speed.

•
Important: Long workpieces must be
secured against falling off the table at
the end of the cut-

Freehanded cuts (Figure 25)
One of the most outstanding features of a
bandsaw is the ease with which it allows you to
make curved cuts and radii.
•
Lower the blade guide (11) down to the
workpiece.
•
Switch on the saw.
•
Hold the workpiece securely on the
table (15) and guide slowly through the
blade (25).
•
Freehanded cuts should be made at low
feed speed so that you can guide the
and
blade (25) along the required line.
•
It often pays to first cut off surplus
curves and corners up to about 6mm
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
simply will drop off.

MAINTENANCE
Important! Pull out the power plug first.
Remove the dust and dirt regularly from the
machine. Cleaning is best carried out with a
fine brush or a cloth.
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
