The saw blades guide of this band saw ensure
an exact guiding of the blade for clean cuts.
When using narrow blades ensure that the
lower blade guide positively supports the blade
from both sides and the rear. Set the bearings
of the upper blade guide to within approx. 0.2
mm of the blade, and the bearing against the
back of the blade, just clear of it . Do not set
the bearing too close, as the friction generates
heat, which may have an adverse effect on the
bearings and the saw blades as well.
SETTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT
The upper blade
guide should always
be set as close as prac-
tical against the work.
To adjust, loosen the
wing nut at the side of
the upper wheel housing, and set the blade
guide to the required height. Tighten wing nut
after setting.
SAW TABLE TILT
For bevel cuts the saw
table tilts steplessly
through 45º. To tilt,
loosen the wing nut
on the table trunnion,
set the table to the
required angle and tighten the wing nut again.
It is recommend to verify the correct angle set-
ting by marking trial cuts in scrap wood.

The most common hazards associated with the
operation of band saws ate the following:
- A hazard by the running saw blade, e.g. con-
tact with the teeth of the blade.
- Flinging of cutoffs or knots.
- Work-piece kickback
The principal hazard areas of a band saw are:
- The work area
- The area around a running machine
- The kickback area
Despite the use of the specific safety devices
and compliance with all relevant regulations
for the prevention of accidents, when oper-
ating a band saw the following residual risks
remain:
- Hearing damage by excessive noise
- Danger of accidents in the unprotected cut-

- Danger of injury when changing blades ( dan-
ger of cuts by the sharp teeth )
- Endangering by flung about workpieces or
parts
- Squashing of fingers
- Danger of injury by kickback of workpieces
- Health risk caused by the dust emission, espe-
cially from oak and beech saw dust.
