General This Bandsaw machine was produced by HOKUBEMA Maschinenbau GmbH according to the current state of the art and placed on the market as a complete machine. All legal and normative regulations were observed. Structure of the Machine • Wheel diameter, cutting height, cutting width and blade speed vary depending on the model. The exact values for your machine can be found in the section ...
3.6 Machine Description The bandsaws of the PANHANS BSB 400 - 900 series are modern and spacious bandsaws suitable for cutting (cross-cutting and splitting) wood and similar materials. The tool is a toothed steel band to which the cutting movement is transmitted by two band rollers.
Blade tension indicator with viewing window for setting the recommended tension • Upper and lower precision bandsaw guide APA 2, size 1 (BSB 400/500) and size 2 (BSB 600 - 900) • Mechanical height adjustment of saw blade guard by hand wheel with locking pinion •...
4.1.1 Application Area and Intended Use The bandsaws BSB 400 - 900 are designed exclusively for cutting (coping and splitting) ma- terials for which the respective bandsaw blade used is suitable (e.g. wood or other materi- als with the same physical and technical properties).
4.1.4 Residual Risks The machine is built according to the latest state of the art and the recognised safety rules. Nevertheless, the use of the machine may cause danger to life and limb of the user or third parties or damage to the machine and other equipment.
The emergency stop buttons must always be freely accessible. They must not be moved, e.g. with hopper boxes. Check the function of the emergency stop buttons daily (before starting work). Laser warning: The machine can be optionally equipped with a laser cut position indicator. Looking directly into the laser beam will cause serious eye injury! Fire hazard due to wood dust in connection with flying sparks and/or open fire! 4.1.5 Observe the Environmental Protection Regulations...
4.1.7 Personnel Selection and Qualification - Basic Duties The machine design and operation is intended for right-handers. Work on and with the machine may only be carried out by reliable personnel. Observe the legal minimum age! Only use trained or instructed personnel. Clearly define the responsibilities of the personnel for operating, setting up, maintaining and repairing! Ensure that only authorised personnel work on the machine! If personnel to be trained or apprenticed have to work on the machine, this may only be done under the...
Machine condition: Check the machine for externally visible damage and defects at least once per shift! Any changes that have occurred (including those in the operating behaviour) must be reported immedi- ately to the responsible office or person! If necessary, stop and secure the machine immediately! Extraction: The machine must be connected to an effective extraction system.
4.2.4 Safe Working Practices Whenever possible, a push stick or a comparable aid must be used to feed the workpiece. It is essential to avoid working with the hands near the saw blade. When cutting narrow workpieces, generally use a push stick. Use aids such as auxiliary fence and push handle for concealed cuts.
Danger Zones on the Bandsaw 4.3.1 Danger Zone Bandsaw Blade • The area 120 mm around the saw blade is a danger zone. • Make sure that your hands are at least 10 cm away from the saw blade. Danger Zone •...

Pre-Assembly 6.3.1 Pre-Assembly of Models BSB 400 - 700 The bandsaw models BSB 400 - BSB 700 are delivered completely assembled. Pre-assembly is not necessary. 6.3.2 Pre-Assembly of Models BSB 800 and 900 • For the models BSB 800 and BSB 900. the upper protective cover must still be fitted and fastened via the holes (B) with the three screws supplied.
Installing the Machine The machine must be placed level on the floor. To do this, level the machine with a spirit level using the 4 grub screws in the machine base. There are four additional holes at the bottom of the machine base, which can be used to secure the machine against tipping with screws.
• Additionally secure the machine against tipping over! Figure 10: Lashing models BSB 400 / 500 / 600 6.6.2 Lashing Models BSB 700 / 800 / 900 • For transport in a vehicle, the ma-...

APA 2 - Saw Blade Guides 9.7.1 Structure and Components The adjustment of the two saw blade guides is necessary when starting up the machine as well as when changing the bandsaw blade. The structure is identical for the upper and lower saw blade guide.
9.7.3 Basic Setting of the Back and Side Rollers (Overview) The two saw blade guides must be aligned with the saw blade as follows: • The Figure 31 shows on the far right the optimal setting of the back and side rollers. On the left and in the middle, it is shown which settings are wrong and must be avoided.

Using the Rip Fence The fence is inserted into the guide rail (F) on the side of the machine table and clamped in the desired position with the clamping wheel (K). The mechanical holding device (V) can be converted in a few easy steps so that the fence is also suitable for left-handers.
General Instructions for Use 12.1 Bandsaw Blades Bandsaw blades must be handled carefully so that they are not damaged. Untensioned bandsaw blades must be folded into a multiple circle without kinks and secured while not in use. They are to be kept stored in a safe and dry area.
Danger of cutting if the workpiece is tilted! The saw blade can tear and cause cutting injuries. Large and long workpieces For large or long workpieces, an appropriate table extension must be used, see Figure (A). Table extensions are available as an option (see ...
Instruction of the operators It is essential that all operators are regularly and adequately instructed in the use and adjustment of safety equip- ment such as guards, pushers, templates and table extensions. Push devices The push block including its handle or the push stick must be replaced if damaged. Generally •...
Optional Components The available optional components and accessories vary according to the bandsaw model. Please refer to the tables in chapter 17 to see which options and accessories are available for your machine. 13.1 Variable Sawblade Speed Control Bandsaws equipped with this option have a special control panel with an additional potentiometer for speed adjustment from approx.
13.4 Mitre Fence “Top” The mitre fence with round rod guide makes work easier when sawing angles and mitres. It can be folded down by 90° so that even flat workpieces (at the prescribed distance of max. 5 mm from the saw blade guard) can be processed safely.
13.8 Laser Cut Position Indicator (Option for BSB 600 - 900) As an option, the bandsaw models BSB 600 to BSB 900 can be equipped with a laser cut position indicator (laser class 1M). This provides optical support during cutting by projecting the cutting edge onto the workpiece. The workpiece can thus be optimally aligned before cutting in order to keep waste as low as possible.
