• All protective and safety devices must be securely mounted on the machine before beginning
work.
• Never clean the sawband or the sawband guide with a hand-held brush or scraper while the
sawband is running. Resin-covered sawbands impair working safety and must be cleaned
regularly.
• For your own protection, wear protective glasses and hearing protection. Wear a hairnet if you
have long hair. Roll up loose sleeves over the elbows.
• Always position the sawband guide as near the work- piece as possible when working.
• Insure sufficient lighting in the work area and around the machine.
• Always use the fence for straight cuts to keep the work- piece from tipping or slipping away.
• When working on narrow workpieces with manual feed, use the push stick.
• For diagonal cuts, place the saw bench in the appropriate position and guide the workpiece on the
fence.
• Insure safe workpiece guidance.
• 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.
• Use a pattern for repeated arced or irregular cuts.
• Insure that the workpiece does not roll when cutting round pieces.
• For safe work when transverse cutting, use the special transverse cutting gauge accessory.
10.1 Performing longitudinal cuts (Fig. A)
Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction.
• Position the longitudinal fence (5) on the left side (if possible) of the saw band, in accordance with
the desired width.
• Lower the saw band guide (4) onto the workpiece. (8.9)
• Switch on the saw.
• Press one edge of the workpiece against the longitudinal fence (5) with the right hand ,whist the
flat side lies on the saw bench (7).
• Slide the workpiece at an even feed rate along the longitudinal fence (5) into the saw band.
• Important: Long workpieces must be secured against tipping at the end of the cutting process (e.g.
with reel- off stand, etc.)
• Attention! When processing narrower workpieces it is essential to use a push stick.
The push stick (R) must always be stored within reach, on the hook (j) provided for this purpose on
the side of the saw (Fig. 17).
10.2 Angled cuts (Fig. B+ Fig. 6)
• In order to execute angled cuts parallel to the saw band, it is possible to tilt the saw bench (7) for-
