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!
