The Holzkraft HBS S-Series Wood Band Saw is a robust and versatile machine designed for precision cutting of wood and wood-like materials. This instruction manual covers models HBS 513 S, HBS 613 S, HBS 713 S, and HBS 813 S, providing comprehensive guidance on their operation, maintenance, and safety.
Function Description
The band saw's primary function is to cut wood and wood-like materials, including solid wood, chipboard, panels, and profiles. It achieves this by using a continuous saw band that runs over two flywheels, one driven by a motor. The work table, which can be tilted, supports the workpiece, allowing for various cutting angles. The machine is equipped with upper and lower saw blade guides to ensure precise and stable cutting. Safety features, such as limit switches on the doors and an emergency stop button, are integrated to protect the operator. The HBS S-Series is designed for both longitudinal and cross-cutting, as well as freehand curved cuts, making it suitable for a wide range of woodworking tasks. An extraction port allows for connection to a dust collection system, ensuring a cleaner and safer working environment.

Usage Features
The HBS S-Series band saws are designed for ease of use and precision.
- Work Table Adjustment: The work table can be tilted from 0° to 45°, allowing for angled cuts. Adjustments are made via a handwheel and secured with locking levers. The perpendicularity of the work table to the saw blade can be precisely set.
- Saw Band Tension: A handwheel is used to tension the saw band, ensuring optimal cutting performance and preventing blade slippage. The manual provides instructions for checking and adjusting the tension.
- Saw Blade Guides: Upper and lower saw blade guides are crucial for accurate cuts. These guides can be adjusted to the specific saw blade width and workpiece height, with detailed steps provided for both lateral and rear guide block adjustments.
- Rip Fence and Crosscut Fence: The rip fence is used for longitudinal cuts, providing a stable guide for the workpiece. It can be easily inserted into a rail and locked in position. The crosscut fence, which can be set at up to 45°, is used for cross-sections and mitre cuts, enhancing safety and accuracy.
- Operation: The machine is switched on and off using a dedicated on-off switch and an emergency stop button. Safety limit switches ensure the machine only operates when the upper and lower doors are closed. A clear workflow guides the operator through pre-operation checks, workpiece preparation, cutting, and post-operation procedures.
- Cutting Types:
- Longitudinal Sections: Sawing along the wood fibre, either freehand or guided by the rip fence. For inclined tables, the rip fence should be placed on the side facing downwards to prevent slipping.
- Cross Sections: Sawing at right angles to the wood grain, typically using a stop for accuracy. Double mitre cuts are possible with an inclined table.
- Freehand Cuts: The band saw excels at curved cuts. Operators are advised to use a narrow saw blade and a low feed rate for best results, often removing excess material beforehand for very tight radii.
- Optional Mobile Wheel Kit: An optional mobile wheel kit (drawing F) can be mounted for easier transport of the machine within the workshop.
Maintenance Features
Regular care and maintenance are essential for the longevity and safe operation of the HBS S-Series band saw.
- Daily Care: Includes cleaning the machine after each use and immediately replacing any damaged safety devices.
- Weekly Care: Involves cleaning the housing, machine surfaces, guards, air slots, and motor housing, as well as checking tools for damage.
- Monthly Maintenance: Focuses on checking and tightening fastening screws, and inspecting electrical safety devices and guards.
- Cleaning: Detailed instructions are provided for cleaning chips and wood dust using a vacuum cleaner and dry cloth. The motor and switch should only be cleaned with a dry cloth, and solvents should be avoided for plastic parts. All unpainted metal surfaces should be sprayed or oiled with anti-rust spray. The suction device should be emptied and cleaned regularly.
- Saw Band Change: The manual provides a step-by-step guide for safely changing the saw band, including unplugging the power cord, removing fences, opening covers, releasing tension, and correctly aligning the new blade. Protective gloves are mandatory for this task.
- Drive Belt Change: Similar to the saw band, instructions are given for changing the drive belt, emphasizing safety precautions like disconnecting power and using protective gloves.
- Suction System Check: Daily checks of the suction system are recommended to ensure proper functioning, which is critical for dust removal and operator safety.
- Functional Test: A functional test should be performed before each use, verifying drive belt tension, free rotation of the saw band, and the condition of the connection cable.
- Repairs: Maintenance and repair work should only be carried out by qualified personnel. For malfunctions, customers are advised to contact their dealer or customer service. All protective and safety devices must be reinstalled after any repair or maintenance work.
- Spare Parts: The manual includes detailed spare parts drawings (A, B, C, D, E, F) and corresponding lists with item numbers, descriptions, quantities, and sizes, facilitating easy identification and ordering of replacement parts.
