guard and slide hand guard into its
lower position.
5. Open the lower blade guard (60).
6. Loosen setting knob (62) until the
band saw blade has slackened.
7. To remove the band saw blade,
guide it through
− the slot in the saw table,
− the blade guard on the upper
blade guide
(61),
− the lower blade guard (60) and
− the blade guides.
A
Danger!
Use a suitable transport device to
transport wide clamped saw blades.
8. Fit fresh band saw blade. Observe
correct position: the teeth point
towards the front (door) side of the
saw.
9. Center band saw blade on the rub-
ber tyres of the band saw wheels.
10. Tighten setting knob (62) until blade
does no longer slip off the band saw
wheels.
11. Clamp band saw blade (see section
"Clamping the band saw blade").
12. Close lower blade guard (60) and
slide hand guard into upper position
or against the table's edge, tighten
knurled nut
(63).
13. Close housing door.
14. Then:
− align band saw blade (see sec-
tion "Aligning the band saw
blade");
− align blade guides (see “Care
and maintenance”);
− let saw test run for at least one
minute;
− stop saw, unplug and recheck
settings.
15. Fasten the fence guide extrusion
(58) to the saw table with the four

6.9 Mains connection
B
Danger! High voltage
• Operate saw in dry environment
only.
• Operate saw only on a power
source matching the following
requirements (see also 'Technical
Data'):
− mains voltage and system fre-
quency conform to the voltage
and frequency shown on the
device's name plate;
− fuse protection by a residual
current operated device (RCD)
of 30 mA sensitivity;
− outlets properly installed,
earthed, and tested;
− three-phase outlets with neu-
tral wire installed;

Note:
Check with your local Electricity
Board or electrician if in doubt whether
your house service connection meets
these requirements.
• Position power supply cable in a
way that it does not interfere with
the work and is not damaged.
• Protect power supply cable from
heat, aggressive liquids and
sharp edges.
• Use only rubber-insulated exten-
sion cables of sufficient lead
cross section (3
x 1.5 mm
2
, for
machines with 3-phase motor:
5 x 1.5 mm
2
).
• Do not pull on power supply
cable to unplug.
A
change of direction of rotation
(only for version with AC motor):
This can lead to the workpiece being
hurled away when attempting to make
a cut. The direction of rotation must
therefore be checked every time the
saw is connected to another outlet.
If the direction of rotation is incorrect,
the electrical connection must be
changed by a qualified electrician!
1. After the saw and all of its safety
devices have been assembled, con
-
nect it to the mains supply.
2. Start saw and switch OFF immedi-
ately.
3. Observe the correct rotational direc-
tion of the band saw blade: In the
cutting area the band saw blade
must run downwards.
4. If the band saw blade turns in the
wrong correction, unplug the power
supply cable at the saw.
5. Have the electric supply changed by
a qualified electrician!
A
Danger!
To reduce the risk of personal injury
as much as possible, the following
safety recommendations should be
observed when operating the saw.
• Use personal protection equip-
ment:
− dust respirator;
− hearing protection;
− safety goggles.
• Cut only one work piece at a time.
• Always hold the work piece down
on the table.
• Do not jam the workpiece.
• Do not attempt to stop the band
saw blade by pushing the work
-
piece against its side.
• Sawing of bowed or irregular
work pieces: hold the workpiece
firmly against the table and feed
in at a uniform speed. Keep your
hands in the safe area.
• If the type of work requires, use
the following:
− push stick – if distance rip
fence – band saw blade less
than
≤120 mm;
− work support – for long stock,
which would otherwise fall off
the table on completion of the
cut;
− dust collector;
− a circle cutting device when
cutting circular pieces;
− a guide when cutting small
wedges;
− an appropriate jig when cutting
round stock, to keep it from
turning;
