Danger! Electrical Hazard
Operate saw in dry environ-
ment only.
Operate saw only on a power source
matching the following requirements
(see also "Technical Specifications"):
− fuse protection by a residual cur-
rent operated device (RCD) of
30 mA sensitivity;
− outlets properly installed, earthed
and tested;
− three-phase outlets with neutral
wire.
Position power supply cable so 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-jacketed cable of suf-
ficient lead cross-section.
Do not pull on power supply cable to
unplug.
Reversing the direction of
rotation
(models with 3-phase motor only):
Depending on the phase sequence
the bandsaw blade may be running in
the wrong direction. This can cause
the workpiece to be hurled away
when cutting is attempted. It is there-
fore necessary to check the direction
of rotation if the machine is con-
nected to a different outlet.
With an incorrect direction of rotation
the phase changer in the saw's plug
needs to be reversed!
1.
Connect the saw to mains after it is
fully assembled and all safety
devices have been installed.
2.
Switch on, then immediately off
again.

3.
Observe direction of rotation: The
bandsaw blade must run from top
to bottom in the cutting area.
4.
If the bandsaw blade runs in the
opposite direction, disconnect the
power cable from the saw.
5.
Use a flat bit screwdriver to push the
phase changer in the saw's plug
down and turn it by 180°.
Caution!
Do not turn the phase changer
directly at the contact pins!
8. Operation
Danger!
To reduce the risk of personal
injury as much as possible, the fol-
lowing
safety
recommendations
should be observed when operating
the saw:
− Use personal protection gear:
− 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 bandsaw
blade by pushing the workpiece
against its side.
If the type of work requires, use the
following:
− 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 turn-
ing;
− a suitable guide for firm support
when cutting thin stock layed on
edge.
Before starting any work check to see
that the following are in proper work-
ing order:
− bandsaw blade;
− upper and lower blade guard.
Replace damaged parts at once!
Assume correct work position (the
bandsaw blade's teeth must point
towards the operator).
Never cut several workpieces at the
same time – and also no bundles con-
taining several individual pieces. Risk
of personal injury if individual pieces
are caught by the saw blade uncon-
trolled.
Drawing-in/trapping hazard!
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 mate-
rials.
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 bandsaw blade
or saw table (e.g. bandsaw blade
change, tensioning of the bandsaw
blade, saw table alignment).
Danger!
Before adjusting the upper
blade guide and saw table tilt:
− switch machine OFF
− wait until the bandsaw blade has
come to a complete stop.
