• When working on narrow workpieces with manual
feed, use the push stick.
• For diagonal cuts, place the saw bench in the ap-
propriate position and guide the workpiece on the
fence.
• In order to cut dovetail tenons and teeth or wedges,
bring the saw table into the corresponding position
on the angle scale.
• For arced and irregular cuts, push the workpiece
evenly using both hands with the fingers together.
Hold the workpiece with your hands on a safe area.
• Use a pattern for repeated arced or irregular cuts.
• Insure that the workpiece does not roll when cutting
round pieces.
m ATTENTION! After every new setting, we recom-
mend performing a test cut, in order to check the di-
mensional settings.
• With all cutting processes, the top saw band guide
(5) must be positioned as close as possible to the
workpiece (see 8.9).
• The workpiece must always be guided with both
hands and kept flat against the saw table (7). This
prevents the Bandsaw blade (26) from jamming.
• Forward feeding should always take place with an
even pressure, which is just sufficient for the saw
band to cut through the material with ease without
becoming blocked.
• Always use the parallel stop (14) for all cutting pro-
cesses that it can be used for.
• It is better to perform a cut in a single working step
than in multiple steps, which may require that the
workpiece be drawn back. However, if it is not pos-
sible to avoid drawing the workpiece back then the
band saw must be switched off first. Only draw the
workpiece back once the Bandsaw blade (26) has
come to a standstill.
• When sawing, the workpiece must always be guided
by its longest side.
m ATTENTION! When processing narrower work-
pieces it is essential to use a Push stick. The Push stick
(29) must always be stored within reach, on the Push
Stick retainer (60) provided for this purpose on the side
of the saw.
10.1 Performing longitudinal cuts (Fig. 19)
Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction.
• Position the longitudinal fence (14) on the left side (if
possible) of the Bandsaw blade (26), in accordance
with the desired width.

• Lower the saw band guide (5) onto the workpiece
(8.9).
• Switch on the saw (see 9.1).
• Press one edge of the workpiece against the longi-
tudinal fence (14) with the right hand, whilst the flat
side lies on the saw bench (7).
• Slide the workpiece at an even feed rate along the
longitudinal fence (14) into the Bandsaw blade (26).
• Important: Long workpieces must be secured
against tipping at the end of the cutting process (e.g.
with reel-off stand, etc.)
10.2 Performing angled cuts (Fig. 20)
• Set saw bench to desired angle (see 9.3).
• Perform the cut as described under 10.1.
When producing angled cuts, only use the parallel stop
to the right of the saw band.
10.3 Freehand cuts (Fig. 21)
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 (5) onto the workpiece
(see 8.9).
• Switch on the saw.
• Press the workpiece firmly onto the saw bench (7)
and slowly slide into the Bandsaw blade (26).
• 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. 22 + Fig. 23)
• Set transverse cutting gauge (25) to the desired an-
gle (see 8.16)
• Perform the cut as described under 10.1.
11. Electrical connection
The electrical motor installed is connected and
ready for operation. The connection complies with
the applicable VDE and DIN provisions. The cus-
tomer's mains connection as well as the exten-
sion cable used must also comply with these reg-
ulations.
