CAUTION
The saw is built with a switch with a lock
to prevent unauthorized use. If leaving aside the machine
for a long period of time, and there is the possibility the
third parties could use it, especially children, set a padlock
or pin to block it.
• Press the button ( I ) to start the saw.
• Press the button ( O ) to turn the saw OFF.
Operation
• Keep in mind that the band cuts in a continuous
descendent run.
• Using both hands, firmly support the work piece onto
the table. Feed it slowly towards the band. Keep your
hands away from the band.
• For better results, the band shall be sharp. A dull band
will not cut properly, especially straight cuts and will cause
excessive pressure in the rear guide bearings.
• Select the right band for the job, depending on the
wood thickness and type of cut. The thinner and harder
the wood is, the band teeth shall be finer. Use a fine teeth
band for sharp curve cuts.
• The machine is especially designed to make curved or
straight cuts.
• When cutting, follow the design marked and only
pushing and rotating the work piece in a uniform manner.
• Do not try to turn the work piece by pushing it. The work
piece will get stuck or the band will bend.
• To make straight cuts use the support fence to slowly
feed the work piece towards the band in contact with the
fence.
Cutting band replacement
• Use 6 teeth per inch (tpi) for wood or soft materials.
Use 14 teeth per inch (tpi) for harder materials.
Remember, 14 teeth per inch (tpi) cuts slower because
the teeth are finer and the cutting operation is slower.
