How to Operate

  • Check if the band is OK
    • See Repair Guide otherwise..
  • Adjust the upper band holder to the correct hight (It should be right about your workpiece)

General Tips

  • Do not use the bedstop (Seitenanschlag), because the cut off piece can easily lock up there and press the band aside
  • A Bandsaw is a free-hand tool, mark you cut path and cut there instead of measuring on the machine
  • The band swings in every direction a few parts of a mm. Consider that while you are sawing!
