8.3. Angular cuts (Abb. 19)
To enable you to perform angular cuts parallel to the
blade (26), the table (15) can be tilted forwards
between 0° - 45°.
Undo the fixing handles (18).
Tilt the saw table (15) forwards until the required
angle value is set on the dial scale (16).
Re-tighten the fixing handles (18).
Important: When the table (15) is tilted, place
the parallel stop (24) to the right of the blade (26)
looking in the direction in which you are working,
on the side pointing downwards (provided the
workpiece is wide enough) in order to stop the
workpiece from slipping off.

9. Operation

Caution! After every new adjustment we recommend
you to make a trial cut in order to check the new
settings.
For all cutting operations it is important to
position the blade guide (11) as close as
possible to the workpiece (see 7.5).
Always guide the workpiece with both hands,
holding it flat on the table (15) in order to prevent
the blade (26) from jamming.
Feed the workpiece at a uniform speed that
enables the blade to cut through the material
without difficulty and without blocking.
Always use the parallel stop (24) on all cuts for
which they are intended.
Always aim at making a complete cut in one
pass rather than in a stop-and-go operation
requiring the workpiece to be withdrawn. If you
have to withdraw the workpiece, switch off the
bandsaw first and wait for the blade (26) to stop
before freeing the workpiece.
The workpiece must always be guided by the
longer side during cutting.
Important! When handling narrower workpieces, it is
essential to use a push stick. The push stick (28)
must always be kept close at hand at the hook (29)
provided for that purpose on the side of the saw.

9.1. Longitudinal cuts (Figure 20)
Longitudinal cutting is when you use the saw to cut
along the grain of the wood.
Place the parallel stop (24) to the left of the blade
(25), as far as possible, for the width required.
Lower the blade guide (11) down to the
workpiece (see 7.5).
Switch on the saw.
Press the edge of the workpiece with your right
hand to hold it securely against the parallel stop
(24) and flat on the table (15).
Guide the workpiece along the parallel stop (24)
and through the blade (26) at a uniform speed.
Important: Long workpieces must be secured
against falling off at the end of the cut (e.g. with a
roller stand etc.)
9.2. Making angular cuts (Fig. 19)
Set the saw table to the desired angle (see 8.3).
Carry out the cut as described in 9.1.
9.3. Freehanded cuts (Figure 21)
One of the most outstanding features of a bandsaw
is the ease with which it allows you to make curved
cuts and radii.
Lower the blade guide (11) to the workpiece (see
7.5).
Switch on the saw.
Hold the workpiece securely on the table (15)
and guide slowly through the blade (26).
Freehanded cuts should be made at low feed
speed so that you can guide the blade (26) along
the required line.
It often pays to first cut off surplus curves and
corners up to about 6 mm from the cutting line.
In the case of curves which are too tight for the
blade to cut correctly, it can help to make a
series of close-lying cuts at right angles to the
curved line. When you saw the radius the
material will simply drop off.
10. Transport
To transport the bandsaw, hold the supporting foot
(5) with one hand and the frame (25) with the other
hand. Important! Never use guards to lift or transport
the equipment.
