Operation - EINHELL RT-SB 305 U Operating Instructions Manual

Anleitung RT-SB 305 U_SPK1:_
blade speeds are indicated on the sign on the
inside of the side cover.
Tension the drive belt (54) again by turning the
hand wheel (4) in a clockwise direction.
Important: Drive belts must not be tensioned
too much.
7.14 Transportation (Fig. 26)
The bandsaw is designed to be transported by one
person using the wheels (10) and a transport handle
(44).
Hold the bandsaw by the transport handle (44)
at the top of the machine.
Tilt the bandsaw to the rear so that the bandsaw
is standing only on its wheels.
Move the bandsaw to the desired location and
place it on the base frame again.

8. Operation

8.1. ON/OFF switch (Fig. 19)
To turn the saw on, press the green button "1"
(g).
To turn the saw off again, press the red button
"0" (h).
Your bandsaw has a switch with undervoltage
release. After a power failure you must re-
activate the switch.
8.2 Parallel stop (Fig. 20/21)
The parallel stop is used as a guide in slitting.
Place the parallel stop (23) onto the chain bar
(2) on the left or right and set the desired
dimension.
Clamp the parallel stop in the desired position
by pressing the clamping lever (27).
The chain bar can be used for thinner
workpieces as shown in Figure 20 and for
thicker workpieces as shown in Figure 21.
8.3. Angular cuts (Figure 8/22)
To enable you to perform angular cuts parallel to the
blade (25), the table (15) can be tilted forwards
between 0° - 45°.
Undo the fixing handle (18).
Tilt the saw table (15) forward until required
angle value has been set on the man scale (16).
Re-tighten the fixing handle (18).
Important: When the table (15) is tilted, place
the parallel stop (23) to the right of the blade
(25) looking in the direction in which you are
working, on the side pointing downwards
(provided the workpiece is wide enough) in
order to stop the workpiece from slipping off.

9.0. Operation
Important! After every new adjustment we
recommend you to make a trial cut in order to check
the new settings.
For all cutting operations it is important to
position the blade guide (11) as close as
possible to the workpiece (see 7.6).
Always guide the workpiece with both hands,
holding it flat on the table (15) in order to
prevent the blade (25) from jamming.
Feed the workpiece at a uniform speed that
enables the blade to cut through the material
without difficulty and without blocking.
Always use the parallel stop (23) on all cuts for
which they are intended.
Always aim at making a complete cut in one
pass rather than in a stop-and-go operation
requiring the workpiece to be withdrawn. If you
have to withdraw the workpiece, switch off the
bandsaw first and wait for the blade (25) to stop
before freeing the workpiece.
The workpiece must always be guided by the
longer side during cutting.
Important! When handling narrower workpieces, it is
essential to use a push stick. The push stick (28)
must always be kept close at hand at the hook (29)
provided for that purpose on the side of the saw
(Figure 27).
9.1. Longitudinal cuts (Figure 20)
Longitudinal cutting (also known as slitting) is when
you use the saw to cut along the grain of the wood.
Place the parallel stop (23) to the left of the
blade (25), as far as possible, for the width
required.
Lower the blade guide (11) down to the
workpiece. (See 7.6.).
Switch on the saw.
Press the edge of the workpiece with your right
hand to hold it securely against the parallel stop
(23) and flat on the table (15).
Guide the workpiece along the parallel stop (23)
and through the blade (25) at a uniform speed.
Important: Long workpieces must be secured
against falling off at the end of the cut (e.g. with
a roller stand etc.)
9.2. Making angular cuts (Figure 22)
Set the saw table to the desired angle (see 8.3).
Cut as described in 9.1.
