• Important: Long workpieces must be secured
against tipping at the end of the cutting process
(e.g. with reel-off stand, etc.)
10.2 Performing angled cuts (Fig. 20)
• Set saw bench to desired angle (see 9.3).
• Perform the cut as described under 10.1.
When producing angled cuts, only use the parallel
stop to the right of the saw band.
10.3 Freehand cuts (Fig. 21)
One of the most important features of a band saw is
the ease with which it can cut curves and radii.
• Lower the saw band guide (5) onto the workpiece
(see 8.9).
• Switch on the saw.
• Press the workpiece firmly onto the saw bench (7)
and slowly slide into the Bandsaw blade (26).
• In many cases it is helpful to roughly saw curves
and corners approximately 6 mm from the line.
• If it is necessary to saw curves that are too tight for
the saw band used, auxiliary cuts must be sawn up
to the front face of the curve, so that these fall off as
wood waste when the final radius is sawn.
10.4 Executing cuts with the transverse cutting
gauge (Fig. 22 + Fig. 23)
• Set transverse cutting gauge (25) to the desired
angle (see 8.16)
• Perform the cut as described under 10.1.
11. Electrical connection
The electrical motor installed is connected and ready
for operation. The connection complies with the ap-
plicable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer's mains connection as well as the
extension cable used must also comply with these
regulations.
Important information
In the event of an overloading the motor will switch
itself off. After a cool-down period (time varies) the
motor can be switched back on again.
Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is of-
ten damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Passage points, where connection cables are
passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been im-
properly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut
due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the
wall outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not
be used and are life-threatening due to the insulation
damage.
30 | GB
Check the electrical connection cables for damage
regularly. Make sure that the connection cable does
not hang on the power network during the inspection.
Electrical connection cables must comply with the
applicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use con-
nection cables with the marking „H05VV-F".
The printing of the type designation on the connec-
tion cable is mandatory.
AC motor
• The mains voltage must be 220 - 240 V~ 50 Hz.
• Extension cables up to 25 m long must have a
cross-section of 1.5 mm
Connections and repairs of electrical equipment may
only be carried out by an electrician.
Please provide the following information in the event
of any enquiries:
• Type of current for the motor
• Machine data - type plate
• Machine data - type plate
12. Cleaning, maintenance and storage
