• 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.

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 with-
out 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 requir-
ing the workpiece to be withdrawn. If you have to withdraw the workpiece, switch off the band-
saw 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.
Caution!
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 (Figure 19)

• Set the saw table to the desired angle (see 8.3).
• Carry out the cut as described in 9.1.
