The band saws have a switch-on safety device, i.e. if one of the
two covers (A) is open, the machine cannot be switched on.
7.1.1 Removal of saw band
 Open both covers (A) with tab (B) (covers have
magnetic catch). Loosen the saw band by turning the
torque wrench (C) anticlockwise. The saw band is
now slackened.

band out of the guides and take it out over the
wheels, see section 7.2 Saw band guide.
7.1.2 Installation of saw band
 Place the saw band flush over the wheels with the teeth against the housing; the teeth must be in the
direction of the motor. The set of the teeth must be above the recessed diameter (indentation) of the wheels.
 Slightly pretension the saw band using the torque wrench (C).
 Push up guide with lever (D), position saw band upright by
hand and insert into guides.
 Release lever (D) (automatic working position).
 Tension the saw band using the torque wrench (C) until the
torque wrench clicks.
 Let the machine run for a short time, the saw band will pull
itself to the correct position on the wheels.
 Then retighten the saw band with a torque wrench (C).
 The tooth tips of the saw band are hardened and therefore
cannot be resharpened.

important part of the band saw and must be cleaned daily, checked
and replaced in time when worn.
