A
Changing the direction of rota
tion (3-phase motor only):
Depending on phase sequence the
band saw blade may turn in the wrong
direction. This can cause the workpiece being tossed away when
attempting to cut. Therefore, always
check direction of rotation after every
connection to the power supply.
If the direction of rotation is incorrect,
the electrical connection must be
changed by a qualified electrician!
1. When the saw is assembled and all
safety devices are installed, connect
it to the power supply.
2. Start saw briefly and turn OFF
immediately again.
3. Check the band saw blade's direc-
tion of rotation: in the cutting area
it must run from the top downwards.
4. If the band saw blade turns in the
wrong correction, unplug the power
supply cable at the saw.
5. Have the electrical connection
changed by a qualified electrician!
8.Operation
Danger!
A
To reduce the risk of personal
injury as much as possible, the following safety recommendations
should be observed when operating
the saw.

− dust respirator;
− hearing protection;
− safety goggles.
Cut only one workpiece at a time.
Always hold the workpiece down on
the table.
Do not jam the workpiece.
Do not attempt to stop the band saw
blade by pushing the workpiece
against its side.
If the type of work requires, use the
following:
− push stick – if distance rip fence
– band saw blade ≤ 120 mm;
− work support – for long stock,
which would otherwise fall off the
table on completion of the cut;
− dust collector;
− an appropriate jig when cutting
round stock, to keep it from turning;
− a suitable guide for firm support
when cutting thin stock layed on
edge.
Before starting work, check to see
that the following are in proper working order:
− band saw blade;
− upper and lower blade guard.
Replace damaged parts immediately.
Assume correct work position (the
band saw blade's teeth must point
towards the operator).
Never cut several workpieces at the
same time – and also no bundles containing several individual pieces. Risk
of personal injury if individual pieces
are caught by the saw blade uncontrolled.
Drawing-in/trapping hazard!
c
Do not wear loose clothing,
jewellery, or gloves, which may get
caught and wound up by revolving
machine parts.
Contain long hair with a hairnet.
Never cut stock to which ropes,
cords, strings, cables and wires are
attached or which contain such materials.
Upper blade guide adjustment
The height of the upper blade guide (48)
needs to be adjusted:
− prior to every cutting operation, to
accommodate the height of the
workpiece (the upper blade guide
should be set approx. 3 mm above
the workpiece);
− after adjustments of band saw blade
or saw table (e.g. band saw blade
change, tensioning of the band saw
blade, saw table alignment).

Repairs to power tools must be
carried out by qualified electricians
only!
Power tools in need of repair can be sent
to the service centre of your country.
Refer to the spare parts list for the
address.
Please attach a description of the fault to
the power tool.
13. Environmental protection
The machine's packing can be 100%
recycled.
Worn out power tools and accessories
contain considerable amounts of valuable raw and rubber materials, which can
be recycled.
These instructions are printed on paper
produced with elemental chlorine free
bleaching process.
14. Trouble shooting
Danger!
A
Before carrying out any fault
service or maintenance work always:
− switch machine OFF.
− unplug power cable.
− wait until the band saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
Check to see that all safety devices
are operational after each fault service.
Motor does not run
Undervoltage relay tripped by power failure:
− switch on again.
No mains voltage:
− check cables, plug, outlet and mains
fuse.
Motor overheated, e.g. by a blunt band
saw blade or chip build-up in the housing:
− remove cause for overheating, let
cool down for a few minutes, then
start again.
Band saw blade wanders off the line
of cut or runs off the band saw
wheels
Band saw blade is not running dead centre on the band saw wheels:
− correct tracking (see “Care and
maintenance”).
Band saw blade breaks
Incorrect tension:
− correct band saw blade tension (see
“Initial operation”).
Load too high:
− reduce pressure against band saw
blade (reduced feed rate).
Incorrect band saw blade:
− replace band saw blade (see “Care
and maintenance”):
thin stock =
narrow band saw blade,
thick stock =
wide band saw blade.
Band saw blade warped
Load too high:
− avoid lateral pressure on the band
saw blade.
Saw vibrates
Insufficient mounting:
− Fasten saw properly to a suitable
surface (see “Initial operation”).
Saw table loose:
− align and fasten saw table.
Motor mount loose:
− check fastening screws, tighten if
necessary.
Dust extraction port blocked
No dust collector connected or suction
capacity insufficient:
− connect a dust collector or increase
suction capacity (air speed ≥20 m/
sec at dust extraction port).
Motor and band saw blade turn in the
wrong direction
Incorrect phase sequence (only possible
on 400 V-models):
− turn phase changer inside the combination switch/plug (see “Initial
operation”).
Band saw blade coasting (≥ 10 s)
Electronic motor brake faulty:
− have ON/OFF switch replaced by a
qualified electrician.
