• Tilt saw bench (7) forwards, until the desired angle is
set on the degree scale (o).
• Retighten the locking handle (k).
• 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 working
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.

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 finished using it.
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.
