• Lower the saw band guide (4) onto the workpiece.
(8.9)
• Switch on the saw.
• Press one edge of the workpiece against the lon-
gitudinal fence (5) with the right hand, whilst the
昀氀at side lies on the saw bench (7).
• Slide the workpiece at an even feed rate along the
longitudinal fence (5) into the saw band.
• Important: Long workpieces must be secured
against tipping at the end of the cutting process
(e.g. with reel-o昀昀 stand, etc.)
• Attention! When processing narrower workpieces
it is essential to use a push stick.
The push stick (R) must always be stored within
reach, on the hook (j) provided for this purpose on
the side of the saw (Fig. 17).
10.2 Angled cuts (Fig. B + 6)
• In order to execute angled cuts parallel to the saw
band, it is possible to tilt the saw bench (7) for-
wards from 0° - 45°.
• Release the locking handle (E).
• Tilt saw bench (7) forwards, until the desired angle
is set on the degree scale (I).
• Retighten the locking handle (E).
• Attention: With a tilted saw bench (7), the longitudi-
nal fence (5) must be positioned on the downward
facing side to the right of the saw band in the work-
ing direction (if the workpiece width allows this),
in order to secure the workpiece against slipping.
• Perform the cut as described under 10.1.
10.3 Freehand cuts (Fig. C)
One of the most important features of a band saw is
the ease with which it can cut curves and radii.
• Lower the saw band guide (4) onto the workpiece.
(8.9)
• Switch on the saw.
• Press the workpiece 昀椀rmly onto the saw bench (7)
and slowly slide into the saw band.
• During freehand cutting you should always work
with a low advancing speed, so that the saw band
can follow the desired line.
• In many cases it is helpful to roughly saw curves
and corners approximately 6 mm from the line.
• If it is necessary to saw curves that are too tight
for the saw band used, auxiliary cuts must be sawn
up to the front face of the curve, so that these fall
o昀昀 as wood waste when the 昀椀nal radius is sawn.
10.4 Executing cuts with the transverse cutting
gauge (Fig. D + 18) (optional)
• Set transverse cutting gauge (14) to the desired
angle (see 8.10)
• Perform the cut as described under 10.1.

11. Cleaning and maintenance
Important.
Warning! Prior to any adjustment, maintenance or
service work disconnect the mains power plug!
General maintenance measures
Wipe chips and dust o昀昀 the machine from time to
time using a cloth. In order to extend the service life
of the tool, oil the rotary parts once monthly. Do not
oil the motor.
When cleaning the plastic do not use corrosive prod-
uct.
Cleaning
• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device immedi-
ately each time you have 昀椀nished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or
solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the
equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the
device. The ingress of water into an electric tool i
creases the risk of an electric shock.
Maintenance
There are no parts inside the equipment which re-
quire additional maintenance.
