10.2 Angled cuts (Fig. B + 6)
• In order to execute angled cuts parallel to the saw
band, it is possible to tilt the saw bench (7) forwards
from 0° - 45°.
• Release the locking handle (E).
• Tilt saw bench (7) forwards, until the desired angle
is set on the degree scale (I).
• Retighten the locking handle (E).
• 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. C)
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. D + 18) (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

Important.
Warning! Prior to any adjustment, maintenance or ser-
vice 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
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device immedi-
ately 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.
Maintenance
There are no parts inside the equipment which require
additional maintenance.
