6.6 Instructions for handling the quick-clamp vice
system
For operation purposes proceed as follows:
Lift the arm 5 cm above the workpiece. Shut the control
valve to hold the arm 2 cm above the workpiece.
Place the workpiece on the worktop. Move the handle of
the vice (A) up to an angle of 45 degrees (semi-opened)
to release the vice. Move the vice slides up against the
workpiece by turning the handle (B). Press against the
vice handle (A) to fix the workpiece in place.
To release the workpiece from the vice, hold the
workpiece and lift the vice handle (A) to an angle of 90
degrees (fully opened). Remove the workpiece.
FURTHER CUTTING:
If you wish to make multiple cuts to a workpiece, all you
have to do is lift the vice handle (A) in order to release the
workpiece or change its position. Press on the same
handle to then fix the workpiece in place. You can also
press the vice handle (A) downwards first and then
tighten the vice by turning the handle (B) in a clockwise
direction. Once the cuts have been made, you can
release the workpiece by turning the handle. This quick-
clamp vice system has a tightening path of 4 mm when
the rectangular handle is fully opened. For normal
metallic materials, a tightening path of 2 mm is all that is
required. The user can tighten the workpiece by pressing
the vice handle (A) downwards with appropriate pressure
to suit the hardness of the workpiece.
6.7 Adjustable cutting angle option
Please proceed as follows to select the cutting angle
required. The pivoting range is in a clockwise direction
from 0 ° to 60 °. Before pivoting the base ensure that
nothing is in the way and that there are no other
hindrances.
1. Pull the handle (A) out.
2. Press it to turn the pivoting base to the angle required.
Observe the scale on (B) for the number of degrees.
3. Fix the handle (A) in place and start cutting.
6.8 Removal and fitting of saw band
If the saw band has to be replaced, proceed as follows:
1. Lift the saw frame by approx. 120 mm and close the feed
knob by turning it as far as possible in a clockwise direction
(fig. B).
2. Move the band guide arm to the right (fig. C).
3. Disconnect the machine from the mains supply. Release
the screw and the band lid, remove the latter and then clean
the chippings and dirt from the inside of the machine.
4. Release the band tensioner (F) by turning the band
tensioning handwheel in an anticlockwise direction.
5. Take the band off the two wheels and all band guides.
Remove the band firstly from the band wheel (B). Once it has
been released fully, remove the band from the band wheel
(A).
6. Vergewissern Sie sich, dass die Zähne des neuen Bandes
in die richtige Richtung weisen. Falls nötig, drehen Sie das
Band herum.
