• Undo Allen screws for bottom guide pins (55).
• Slide the two bottom guide pins (56) sufficiently far
in the direction of the saw band that the distance be-
tween the guide pins (56) and Bandsaw blade (26) is
max. 0.5 mm. (Saw band must not jam)
• Retighten Allen screws for bottom guide pins (55).
• Turn the bottom saw band roller (9) a few times in a
clockwise direction.
• Check the setting of the bottom guide pins (56) again
and adjust if necessary.
• If necessary, adjust the bottom support bearing (52)
(8.8.2).
8.9 Adjusting the top saw band guide (5) (Fig. 11)
• Undo locking handle for saw band guide (28).
• Turn the adjustment handle for the saw band guide
(27) to lower the saw band guide (5) as closely as
possible (distance approx. 2-3 mm) over the material
to be cut.

(Fig. 2+12+13)
• Set the top saw blade guide (5) fully upwards. (8.9)
• Undo locking handle (22) and wing nut (21) (Fig. 2).
• Place the angle bracket between the Bandsaw blade
(26) and saw table (7). Angle bracket not included in
the scope of supply.
• Tilt the saw table (7) by turning, until the angle to the
Bandsaw blade (26) is precisely 90°. If the saw table
