Working Advice
- Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make sure you have a stable footing. The power tool can be more securely guided with both hands.
Select a suitable sawing position for your workpiece, so that as many teeth as possible of the bandsaw blade (11) are in the cut (see figure J).
Switch on the power tool and wait for the motor to reach the required speed. Place the power tool onto the workpiece using the guide (10) and slowly lower the bandsaw blade (11) into the cut.
Work with moderate pressure and uniform feed.
Reduce the pressure just before ending the cut and slightly raise the power tool, so that it does not fall on the workpiece.
Regularly check the height of the bandsaw blade (11) on the roller (17). The distance between the bandsaw blade and the upper edge of the roller must not exceed 3 mm. If the distance is larger than this, the blade tracking must be readjusted:
- Loosen the locking nut for the blade tracking (19) anticlockwise using the socket spanner (20).
- Turn the screw for adjusting the blade tracking (21) by one rotation using a commercially available cross-headed screwdriver:
To lower the bandsaw blade(11) , turn the screw (21) clockwise.
To raise the bandsaw blade (11), turn the screw (21) anticlockwise. - To preselect the blade speed, set the thumbwheel (4) to setting 1.
- Insert a rechargeable battery (3).
- Switch on the power tool and allow the bandsaw blade (11) to run for one rotation.
- Switch the power tool off and remove the rechargeable battery (3).
- Check the height of the bandsaw blade (11) on the roller (17). If necessary, repeat steps 2 to 5 until the distance between the bandsaw blade and the upper edge of the roller is under 3 mm.
- Retighten the locking nut for the blade tracking (19) clockwise using the socket spanner (20).
Note: The screw for adjusting the blade tracking (21) only changes the height of the roller being driven (17). This enables the entire track of the bandsaw blade (11) to be adjusted.
Your power tool is equipped with a hanging hook (13) to hang it from when it is switched off. To prevent injuries and damage, only hang the power tool using a stable and suitable means of attachment.
- When the power tool is hung up, take care that the saw blade is protected from accidental contact. This poses a risk of injury.
If you do not use the power tool over an extended period of time, release the pre-tensioning of the bandsaw blade (11) to extend the service life of the bandsaw blade. To do this, swivel the pre-tension lever (12) as far as it will go in the 
direction.
Before recommissioning the power tool, swivel the pre-tension lever (12) as far as it will go in the 
direction in order to tension the bandsaw blade (11). Check whether the bandsaw blade (11) is correctly running in the saw blade guides (16) and around the rollers (17).
