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 longitudinal fence (5) must be positioned on the
downward facing side to the right of the saw band in the working 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 firmly onto the saw bench 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 off as wood waste when the final radius is
sawn.
10.4 Executing cuts with the transverse cutting gauge (Fig. D + Fig. 18)
• Set transverse cutting gauge (14) to the desired angle (see 8.10)
• Perform the cut as described under 10.1.

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 off 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 product.
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.
