• 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 pro-
vided 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 accord-
ance 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 lon-
gitudinal 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.
Attention!
For all cutting operations, the upper saw blade guid-
ance (4) should be as close as possible to the work-
piece.
• To do this, open the adjustment handle for saw
blade safety device (13). (Fig. 1)
• Lower the upper saw blade guide (4) and the saw
blade guard (3) as close as possible to the work-
piece.
• Subsequently close the adjustment handle for for
saw blade safety device (13).
11. Cleaning and maintenance
Important.
Warning! Prior to any adjustment, maintenance or
service 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 -
ucts.
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 re-
quire additional maintenance.
12. Storage
Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry
and frost-proof place that is inaccessible to children.
The optimum storage temperature is between 5 and
30˚C.
Cover the electrical tool in order to protect it from
dust and moisture.
Store the operating manual with the electrical tool.
13. Electrical Connection
The installed electric motor is connected and is ready
to work.
The connection complies with the relevant VDE and
DIN regulations.
The customer-side mains supply and the used exten-
sion line must meet these regulations.
Important information
In the event of an overloading the motor will switch
itself off. After a cool-down period (time varies) the
motor can be switched back on again.
Defective Electric Connection Lines
Often, insulation damages occur on electrical con-
nection lines.
Causes are:
1 Drag marks if connection lines are led through win-
dow or door clearances.
2 Kinks due to improper attachment or routing of the
connection line.
3 Cuts caused by running over the connection line.
4 Insulation damages caused by pulling the connec-
tion line out of the wall socket.
5 Fissures caused by the ageing of the insulation.
Such defective electric connection lines must not be
used and are hazardous due to the insulation dam-
ages.
Regularly check the electrical connection lines for
damages. Please make sure that the connection
lines are disconnected from the mains supply during
the check.
