• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Do not use the cable for another purpose, for exam-
ple, carrying or hanging the electric tool or pulling the
plug out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving device parts. Damaged or
coiled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
• If you work with an electric tool outdoors, only use
extension cables that are also suitable for outdoor
use. Using an extension cable suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
• If you cannot avoid using the electrical tool in a wet
environment, use a fault-current circuit breaker. Us-
ing a fault-current circuit breaker reduces the risk of
an electric shock.
3 Safety of personnel
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
carelessness when using electrical tools can result
in serious injuries.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Wearing personal protective equipment,
such as dust masks, anti-slip safety shoes, safety hel-
met or hearing protection, depending on the type and
use of the electric tool, reduces the risk of injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Make sure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to the power
supply, picking up or carrying the electric tool. Keep-
ing your finger on the switch or having the device
switched on when you connect it to the power supply
may result in accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A tool or spanner that is located in
a rotating device part may result in injuries.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• If dust extraction and collection devices can be
mounted, make sure that they are connected and
used properly. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.

4 Power tool use and care
• Do not overload the device. Use the correct pow-
er tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
• Remove the plug from the socket before setting the
device, changing accessories or putting the device
away. These precautionary measures will prevent
the electric tool from starting unintentionally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and Do not let people use the device who are not
familiar with it or who have not read these instruc-
tions.
Electric tools are dangerous if they are used by in-
experienced people.
• Maintain the electric tool with care. Check whether
moving parts function properly and do not get stuck
and whether parts are broken or are damaged and
thus adversely affect the electric tool function. Have
damaged parts repaired before using the device.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations dif-
ferent from those intended could result in a hazard-
ous situation.
5 Service
• Only have your electric tool repaired by qualified
specialists and only with original spare parts. This
ensures that safety of the electric tool is maintained.
Warning! This power tool generates an electromag-
netic field during operation. This field can impair active
or passive medical implants under certain conditions.
In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries,
we recommend that persons with medical implants
consult with their physician and the manufacturer of
the medical implant prior to operating the power tool.
Additional safety instructions - portable band
saws
• When performing work during which the cutting de-
vice could come into contact with concealed power
lines, hold the electrical tool by the insulated handle
surfaces. Contact between the cutting tool and a
live power line can also electrify metal device parts
and lead to an electric shock.
• Keep your hands away from the sawing area and
saw band.
• Before use, always ensure that the portable band
saw is clean.
• Stop operation immediately, if you notice anything
unusual.
• Prior to using the tool, always make sure that all
components are properly and safely fitted.
• Always proceed with caution when fitting or remov-
ing the saw band.
• Always keep your hands away from the cutting path
of the saw band.
• Before sawing, always wait until the motor has
reached full speed.
• Always keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil
and grease. Hold the tool firmly during work.
• Always remain alert, in particular when performing
repetitive, monotonous tasks. Always make sure
your hands are in the correct position in relation
to the saw band.
• Never remove the workpiece stop.
• Maintain a distance from end pieces, which fall
down after sawing. They may be hot, sharp and/or
heavy. They could cause serious injuries.
• Air intakes often cover moving parts and should be
kept clear. Loose-fitting clothing, jewellery and long
hair may become caught in the moving parts.
Residual risks
The electric tool is state-of-the-art and has been built
according to the recognised technical safety regula-
tions. However, individual residual risks can arise dur-
ing operation.
• Danger of injury for fingers and hands due to the
running saw band with improper guiding of the work-
piece. Injuries due to the workpiece being ejected
at high speed due to improper holding or guiding,
such as working without the stop.
• Risk to health from wood dust or wood chippings.
It is essential that personal protective equipment,
such as eye protection, is worn.

• Injuries due to defective saw band. Check the integ-
rity of the saw band regularly.
• Danger of injury for fingers and hands when chang-
ing the saw band. Wear suitable work gloves.
• Danger of injury when the machine is switched on
from the running saw band.
• Hazard due to electrical power, with the use of im-
proper electrical connection cables.
• Danger to health from running saw band due to long
hair and loose clothing. Wear personal protective
equipment such as a hair net and close-fitting work
clothing.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been
met, some non-obvious residual risks may still re-
main.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "General
safety instructions" and the "Proper use" are ob-
served along with the whole of the operating in-
structions.
