• 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. AF)
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. AG + Fig. AC) (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 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 prod-
uct.
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 immediate-
ly each time you have finished 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.

and moisture.
Store the operating manual with the electrical tool.
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 custom-
er-side mains supply and the used extension line
must meet these regulations.
Important information
In the event of an overloading the motor will switch
itself off. After a cool-down period (time varies) the
motor can be switched back on again.
Defective electric connection lines
Often, insulation damages occur on electrical con-
nection lines.
Causes are:
• Drag marks if connection lines are led through win-
dow or door clearances.
• Kinks due to improper attachment or routing of the
connection line.
• Cuts caused by running over the connection line.
• Insulation damages caused by pulling the connec-
tion line out of the wall socket.
• Fissures caused by the ageing of the insulation.
Such defective electric connection lines must not be
used and are hazardous due to the insulation damages.
