A
Danger from exposed bandsaw
blades and wheels!
If after one turn the motor does not
switch off or the door immediately
opens wide, the door interlock or the
closure system is defective. Shut down
the saw and return it to the Service
Centre in your country for repair.
2. Rotate the turn-lock fastener further.
The housing door opens wide.
Closing the housing door:
• Press on the housing door and
rotate the upper turn-lock fastener
anticlockwise and the lower turn-
lock fastener clockwise all the way.
The housing door is completely con-
tacting the housing.
Setting knob for band saw blade ten-
sion
With the setting knob (42) the band saw
blade tension is corrected, if necessary:
− Turning the setting knob clockwise
increases the blade tension.
− Turning the setting knob counter-
clockwise reduces the blade tension.
Setting knob for blade tracking
adjustment
With the setting knob (43) the tilt of the
upper band saw wheel can be adjusted, if
necessary. This tracking adjustment is
required to have the blade run dead centre
on the rubber tyres of the band saw
wheels:
− turning clockwise = blade moves to
the rear
− Turning counter-clockwise = blade
moves to the front.
Setting knob for drive belt tension
With the setting knob (44) the drive belt
tension is corrected, if necessary:
− Turning the adjustment knob anti-
clockwise decreases the blade ten-
sion.
− Turning the setting knob clockwise
increases the blade tension.
Saw table tilt
After loosening the locking screw (46)
the saw table (45) tilts steplessly through
20° against the blade.
Rip fence
The rip fence (47) is clamped to the
front. The rip fence can be used on both
sides of the blade.
6.1 Aligning the saw table
The saw table needs to be aligned in two
planes
− laterally, in order for the blade to run
dead centre through the table insert;
− at right angles to the band saw
blade.
Saw table lateral alignment
1. Loosen lock lever (48) and hexagon
nut (49).
A
Danger!
Risk of injury, even with the band saw
blade at standstill. To loosen and
tighten the fastening screws use a
tool that allows for keeping your hand
at a sufficient distance from the band
saw blade.
2. Loosen the four fastening screws (50) .
3. Align saw table so that the blade
runs through the centre of the table
insert's slot.
4. Tighten the four fastening screws
(50) again.
5. Tighten hexagon nut (49) only so
much that the saw table can still
easily be tilted.
6. Tighten lock lever (48).
Aligning the saw table at right angles
to the band saw blade
1. Raise upper blade guide fully (see
“Operation”).
2. Check band saw blade tension (see
“Care and Maintenance”).
3. Loosen lock lever (48).
4. Using a try square, set the table at
right angles to the blade and tighten
the lock lever
(48) again.
5. Loosen locking nut (51) and adjust
limit stop screw (52) until it touches
the saw housing.
