• 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 firmly 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 off as
wood waste when the final radius is sawn.
10.4 Executing cuts with the transverse cutting
gauge (Fig. D + 18) (optional)
• Set transverse cutting gauge (14) to the desired an-
gle (see 8.10)
• Perform the cut as described under 10.1.
11. Cleaning and maintenance
Warning! Prior to any adjustment, maintenance or ser-
vice 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 hous-
ing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the
equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with com-
pressed air at low pressure. We recommend that you
clean the device immediately each time you have fin-
ished using it.
36 | GB
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and
some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or sol-
vents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equip-
ment. 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 require
additional maintenance.

12. Storage
Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry and
frost-proof place that is inaccessible to children. The

13. Electrical Connection
The installed electric motor is connected and is ready
to work. The connection complies with the relevant
VDE and DIN regulations. The customer-side mains
supply and the used extension line must meet these
regulations.
Important information
In the event of an overloading the motor will switch it-
self off. After a cool-down period (time varies) the mo-
tor can be switched back on again.
Defective Electric Connection Lines
Often, insulation damages occur on electrical connec-
tion lines.
