11. When working on narrow workpieces with manual
feed, use the push stick.
12. For diagonal cuts, place the saw bench in the ap-
propriate position and guide the workpiece on the
fence.
13. In order to cut dovetail tenons and teeth or wedg-
es, swivel the saw table into the plus and minus
position. Ensure that the workpiece is guided
safely.
14. 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.
15. Use a pattern for repeated arced or irregular cuts.
16. Insure that the workpiece does not roll when cut-
ting round pieces.
17. For safe work when transverse cutting, use the
special transverse cutting gauge accessory.
10.1 Rip fence (Fig. 7)
The rip fence serves as a guide during longitudinal
cuts.
• Clamp the longitudinal fence (5) in the desired posi-
tion by pressing the clamping lever (M).
10.2 Angled cuts (Fig. 1, 5, 6, 14)
• In order to execute angled cuts parallel to the saw
band (Fig. 14), it is possible to tilt the saw bench (6)
forwards from 0° - 45°.
• Release the locking handle (F) (Fig. 5+6).
• Tilt saw bench (6) forwards, until the desired angle
is set on the degree scale. (Fig. 5+6)
• Retighten the locking handle (Fig. 5+6).
• Attention: With a tilted saw bench (6), 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 (Fig. 14) (if the workpiece width allows
this), in order to secure the workpiece against slip-
ping.
Attention! After every new setting, we recommend
performing a test cut, in order to check the dimen-
sional settings.
• With all cutting processes, the top band guide (4)
must be positioned as close as possible to the
workpiece.
• The workpiece must always be guided with both
hands and kept flat against the band saw bench
(6), in order to prevent a jamming of the saw band.
• 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 longitudinal fence (5) for all cutting
processes 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, and the
workpiece only drawn back once the saw band has
come to a standstill.
52 | GB
• When sawing, the workpiece must always be guid-
ed by its longest side.
Attention! When processing narrower workpieces it is
essential to use a push stick. The push stick (L) must
always be stored within reach, on the hook provided
for this purpose on the side of the saw (Fig. 6.1).
10.3 Performing longitudinal cuts (Fig. 15)
Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction.
• Position the longitudinal fence (5) on the left side (if
possible) of the saw band (Fig. 15), in accordance
with the desired width.
• Lower the saw band guide (4) onto the workpiece.
• Switch on the saw.
• Press one edge of the workpiece against the longi-
tudinal fence (5) with the right hand, whilst the flat
side lies on the saw bench (6).
• Slide the workpiece at an even feed rate along the
longitudinal fence (5) into the saw band (Fig. 15).
• Important: Long workpieces must be secured
against tipping at the end of the cutting process
(e.g. with reel-off stand, etc.)
10.4 Performing angled cuts (Fig. 13)
• Set saw bench to desired angle (see „Angled cuts").
• Perform the cut as described under „Performing
longitudinal cuts".
10.5 Freehand cuts (Fig. 16)
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.
• Switch on the saw.
• Press the workpiece firmly onto the saw bench (6)
and slowly slide into the saw band.
• 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.
11. Cleaning and maintenance
m Warning! Prior to any adjustment, maintenance
or service work disconnect the mains power plug!
Maintenance
There are no parts inside the equipment which re-
quire additional maintenance.
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
products.
