Longitudinal Cuts - HOLZMANN MASCHINEN HBS 300J Manual De Instrucciones

Angular cuts (Figure 8/22)
To enable you to perform angular cuts parallel to the blade (25), the table (15) can be tilted forwards
between 0° -45°.
 Undo the fixing handle (18).
 Tilt the saw table (15) forward until required angle value has been set on the man scale (16).
 Re-tighten the fixing handle (18).
 Important: When the table (15) is tilted, place the parallel stop (23) to the right of the blade (25)
looking in the direction in which you are working, on the side pointing downwards. (provided the
workpiece is wide enough) in order to stop the workpiece from slipping off.
Important! When handling narrower workpieces, it is essential to use a push stick. The push stick (28)
must always be kept close at hand at then hook(29) provided for that purpose on the side of the saw
(Fig. 27).

Longitudinal cuts

Longitudinal cutting (also known as slitting) is when you use the saw to cut along the grain of the wood.
 Place the parallel stop (23) to the left of the blade (25), as far as possible, for the width required.
 Lower the blade guide (11) down to the workpiece.
 Switch the saw on.
 Press the edge of the workpiece with your right hand to hold it securely against the parallel stop
(23) and flat on the table (15).
 Guide the workpiece along the parallel stop (23) and through the blade (25) at a uniform speed.
 Important: Long workpieces must be secured against falling off the table at the end of the cut-
1.1 Freehanded cuts (Figure 25)
One of the most outstanding features of a bandsaw is the ease with which it allows you to make curved
cuts and radii.
 Lower the blade guide (11) down to the workpiece.
 Switch on the saw.
 Hold the workpiece securely on the table (15) and guide slowly through the blade (25).
 Freehanded cuts should be made at low feed speed so that you can guide the blade (25) along the
required line.
 It often pays to first cut off surplus curves and corners up to about 6mm from the cutting line.
 In the case of curves which are too tight for the blade to cut correctly, it can help to make a series
of close-lying cuts at right angles to the curved line. When you saw the radius the material simply
will drop off.
