• The specified vibration emission value has been
measured according to a standardised test proce-
dure and can be used for comparison of one electric
tool with another.
• The specified vibration emission value can also be
used for an initial assessment of the load.
Warning:
• The vibration emission value can vary from the
specified value during the actual use of the electric
tool, depending on the type and the manner in which
the electric tool is used;
• Try to minimise stress from vibrations as low as
possible. Some examples of means for reducing
the vibration stress are wearing gloves while using
the tool and limiting work time. In doing so, all parts
of the operating cycle must be taken into account
(such as times in which the electric tool is switched
off or times in which it is switched on, but is not run-
ning under a load).
7.
Unpacking

8. Assembly
8.1 Fitting the support arm (19) to the saw table (21)
(Fig. 3)
1.
Rotate the support arm base plate (22) until the
support arm base plate hole aligns with the hole
in the saw table.
2.
Insert the hexagon socket screw from above
through the aligned holes in the saw table (21).
3.
Tilt the saw table (21) on its side and fasten the
provided nut onto the hexagon socket screw.
4.
Fix the nut is place using an open-ended spanner
(not included in the scope of delivery).
8.2 Fitting the machine onto the support arm (19)
(Fig. 15)
1.
Align the holes of the metal band saw (12) to the
holes in the support arm (20).
2.
Then screw the provided hexagon socket screws
through the support arm into the metal band saw.
3.
Now tighten the hexagon socket screws.
8.3 Fitting the saw band (Fig. 7-11)
1.
Loosen the Phillips screws (a) from the saw band
guard (left/right) (9).
2.
Remove the saw band guard (9) by sliding to left
or right.
3.
Position the saw band (11) such that the teeth
are on the base and are angled in the direction
of the workpiece stop (10), as shown in Figure 9.
4.
Slide the saw band (11) into the guide rollers (18),
as shown in Figure 10.
5.
Hold the saw band (11) in the guide rollers (18)
and place it around both drive units (16).
6.
Tension the saw band (11) using the tightening
lever for the saw band (13).
7.
Push the saw band guard (left/right) (9) back on-
to the metal band saw and screw it tight again.
8.
Attention! Do not operate the metal band saw
without the saw band guard!
9.
Switch the metal band saw on and off a few
times, to ensure that the saw band is sitting cor-
rectly.
m CAUTION:
Maintain physical distance from the saw band
area during this test.
9.
Before commissioning
m ATTENTION!
Always make sure the device is fully assembled
before commissioning!
Check all screws and connections for firm seating.
Check that the saw band is in perfect condition.
Remove all tools from the clamping jaw and the
saw table.
• The saw band must be able to run freely.
• In case of previously machined wood, be aware of
any foreign objects, such as nails or screws, etc.
• Before pressing the on/off switch (5), make sure that
the saw band is correctly fitted, and that moving
parts run smoothly.
• Before connecting the machine, make certain that
the data on the type plate matches with the mains
power data.
9.1 Switching the machine on (Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
Before connecting the machine to the mains power
supply, always make sure that the on/off switch (5) is
functioning properly.
1.
To switch the machine on, press the on/off switch
(5) and the release switch (6) at the same time.
2.
To switch off, release the on/off switch (5).
3.
Attention: The saw band runs after the device
has been switched off.
9.2 Handle (Fig. 5)
m For safety reasons, please disconnect the power ca-
ble from the mains.
The handle (1) allows the user to maintain a firm hold
during use.
1.
Put the handle (1) in a comfortable and secure
working position.
9.3 Switching the LED lamp on (Fig. 1)
1.
To switch the LED (3.1) on, set the on/off switch
(3) to "I (ON)". To switch the machine off, set the
switch to position "O (OFF)".
2.
NOTE: Wipe any dirt off the LED (3.1) with a dry
cloth. Be careful to avoid scratching the LED
(3.1), because this can severely reduce the light
intensity.
3.
Do not use thinners or spirit to clean the LED
(3.1). Such solvents may damage the LED.
4.
Always switch the LED (3.1) off after work.

9.4 Speed setting wheel (Fig. 4)
m CAUTION:
Never change the speed with the device running.
1.
The machine speed can be set between 0.7 m/s
and 2.2 m/s by turning the speed setting wheel
(4).
2.
By turning the speed setting wheel (4) towards
the number 6 you increase the speed, whilst
turning it towards 1 reduces the speed.
m CAUTION:
The speed setting wheel (4) can only be turned
up to 6 and back to 1. If it is forcibly turned past
6 or beyond 1, it may no longer be possible to
adjust the speed.
3.
Choose a suitable speed for the workpiece to be
cut.
9.5 Adjusting the workpiece stop (10) (Fig. 6)
m For safety reasons, please disconnect the power ca-
ble from the mains.
While using the metal band saw, the workpiece stop
(10) must be secured in the lowest position.
1.
If the workpiece stop (10) should butt against an
obstacle at the end of a cut, e.g. a wall or similar,
loosen the screw (see fig. 6) and slide the work-
piece stop (10) upwards. Secure the workpiece
stop (10) after sliding by fixing the screws again.
2.
Attention: Ensure that the metal band saw is
switched off when adjusting the workpiece stop
(10)!
10. Operation
10.1 Tips for better sawing (Fig. 14)
The following recommendations should be applied as
a guideline (see "Recommended sawing positions" ta-
ble in figure 14).
• Never twist the saw band during the cutting pro-
cess.
• Never use liquid coolant for the metal band saw.
The use of liquid coolants causes deposits on the
rubber belts (17) and reduces the cutting perfor-
mance.
• If severe vibrations arise during the cutting process,
make sure that the sawn workpiece is securely
clamped. If the vibrations continue, replace the saw
band (see chapter 13 "Cleaning and maintenance").
