- Cutting: With the log firmly in place, gently tilt the cradle downwards, allowing the saw blade to cut through the wood. Apply steady, even pressure. Do not force the cut.
- Completion: Once the cut is complete, allow the cradle to return to its upright position. Remove the cut piece and prepare for the next cut.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Scheppach Tilting Saw:
- Cleaning: After each use, disconnect the power and clean the saw, especially around the blade and motor ventilation slots, to remove sawdust and debris. Use a brush or compressed air.
- Blade Inspection: Regularly check the saw blade for sharpness, damage, or missing teeth. A dull or damaged blade can lead to kickback and inefficient cutting. Replace the blade if necessary.
- Fasteners: Periodically check all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness. Tighten any loose fasteners.
- Motor Ventilation: Ensure the motor's ventilation openings are clear to prevent overheating.
- Storage: Store the saw in a dry, secure location, away from moisture and extreme temperatures.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your tilting saw, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Saw Does Not Start: Check the power connection, circuit breaker, and ensure the on/off switch is functioning correctly.
- Reduced Cutting Performance: The saw blade may be dull or damaged. Replace the blade. Ensure the wood is within the specified diameter range.
- Excessive Vibration or Noise: Check for loose components, a damaged blade, or an unbalanced workpiece. Disconnect power and inspect thoroughly.
- Motor Overheating: Ensure the motor ventilation slots are clear. Avoid continuous heavy-duty operation without breaks.
