onds the ON/OFF switch is faulty and
needs to be replaced by a qualified elec-
trician without delay.

Note:
In this chapter the essential oper-
ating elements of the machine are intro-
duced.
The proper use of the saw is detailed in
chapter “Operation”. Read this chapter
before using the saw for the first time.
On/Off switch with emergency stop
• To start = press green switch button
(25).
• To stop = press red switch button
(26) or cover (27) of the ON/OFF
switch.
In the event of a voltage failure an und-
ervoltage relay will trip. This prevents the
machine from starting up when the
power is restored. To restart, the green
switch button must be pressed.
The cover of the ON/OFF switch (27)
can be safeguarded by a padlock.
Setting knob for band saw blade ten-
sion
With the setting knob (28) 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 ten-
sion.
Setting knob for blade tracking
adjustment
With the setting knob (29) the tilt of the
upper band saw wheel can be adjusted,
if necessary. This tracking adjustment is
required to have the blade run dead cen-
tre on the rubber tyres of the band saw
wheels:
− turning clockwise = blade moves to
the rear
− Turning counter-clockwise = blade
moves to the front.
Speed adjustment
By shifting the drive belt the band saw
can be operated at two speeds (see
“Technical specifications”):
− 370 m/min for hard wood, plastics
and non-ferrous metals (with special
band saw blade);
− 800 m/min for all kinds of wood.
A
Caution!
The drive belt must not run in a
diagonal position; this will damage
the belt
Setting knob for drive belt tension
With the setting knob (30) the drive belt
tension is corrected, if necessary:
− turning the setting knob clockwise
lessens the blade tension;
− turning the setting knob counter-
clockwise increases the blade ten-
sion.
Saw table tilt
After loosening the locking screw (31)
the saw table (32) tilts steplessly through
45° against the blade.
