Have all covers been properly fitted?

7.2. First cut

Caution! Danger of injury!
The band is not covered in the machining zone.
When starting to work with the band saw make sure that the TOTAL STOP button is unblocked. Loose WORKTABLE LEVER (M) ,
raise the saw arm (A) to upper max. position and by turning the saw arm with refer to angle scale set requested cutting angle and
tighten the WORKTABLE LEVER (M) again. Move up the saw arm (saw band) by 20 - 30 mm above the workpiece expected height
and fix it by closing the valve of the OIL DAMPER (F). Open MOVING JAW (N) with VICE HANDLE WHEEL (L) in order to put the
workpiece between clamping jaws. Feed in the workpiece. Long and heavy work pieces are hardly being set in correct position by the
moving jaw. It is necessary to adjust them accordingly after feed in. Asymmetric or thin-walled profiles are stabilized and fixed in
position by shaped pieces, e.g. hard wood shaped pieces, etc. Select workpiece length. Move the MOVING JAW (N) with VICE
HANDLE WHEEL and close by QUICK CLAMPING LEVER. Set the correct distance between the moving guiding head and
workpiece approx. 5 - 10 mm and lock by CLAMPING LEVER (O). Select cutting speed. Start band drive. By control valve adjust the
arm feed speed into cut. Optimal value can be set by hearing no high voices and vibrations. This can be achieved by increasing or
decreasing the feed into cut. The optimal feed depends on correct teeth and cutting speed selection. When cut is finished the band
must automatically stop. First cut was done. The arm is now in the down end position.
