4. Operation
Start/stop button
This saw is fitted with ano-volt release switch which prevents thesaw from
automatically starting again following apower cut or if themains plug is
reconnected to themains supply after themachine has been stopped by being
unplugged with theON/OFF switch set to ON.
The saw is switched on by pushing in thegreen [1] button and switched off by
pushing in thered [0] button.
Sawing
• The upper blade guide assembly should be
lowered to as close aposition to theworkpiece
as possible. To lower theassembly, loosen
thelocking knob (6) and slide theassembly down.
Tighten thelocking knob.
• Set therip fence to thedesired width. Plan thecut
before starting to saw. When sawing asmall
workpiece, use apush stick to ensure that your
hands do not come too close to theblade.
• Before sawing alarge workpiece, make sure
that there is enough room around thesaw
for theworkpiece to be manoeuvred safely.
If necessary, you should also make sure that
theworkpiece is supported to avoid undue
stress on theblade. Cut thematerial at asteady,
even pace. A clear sign that thesawing is being
forced too quickly is themotor changing pitch or
slowing down.
Note
• Make sure that thesaw blade undamaged and is centred on theblade pulley wheels before starting to saw.
• Feed theworkpiece into theblade carefully making sure not to exert too much pressure.
• Hold theworkpiece in both hands if you can or use apush stick if theworkpiece is too small.
• Always keep your hands well away from thesaw blade and think through thecut before starting.
• For thebest results, use asharp saw blade.
• Select thecorrect saw blade for thethickness of theworkpiece and type of cut. Thin and hard woods
require finer toothed blades than thicker, softer woods.
• Tight radii require anarrower blade than straight cuts.
• Use therip fence as asupport when making straight cuts.
• Think about acut before beginning to saw aworkpiece, you might need to reposition theworkpiece or turn
it over. Mark out thecut on both sides of theworkpiece if necessary.
• Never twist theworkpiece without it being pressed against thesaw blade, otherwise theworkpiece can
become stuck or theblade can bend.
• Always unplug theband saw before making any adjustments or repairs and whenever thesaw is not to be used.
