e) Maintain power tools and attachments. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that may af-
fect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) 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.
g) Use electric tools, insertion tools, etc. according
to these instructions. Take into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from those in-
tended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Only have your power tool repaired by qualified
specialists and only with original spare parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
5.1 Safety instructions for band saws
a) Do not use damaged or deformed saw blades.
Damaged or deformed saw blades could break and/or
bend.
b) Do not use coolant fluids. The use of water or other
coolants can cause electric shock.
c) Operate the band saw at the appropriate speed for
the permissible applications and materials. Work-
ing at an improper speed for the material being cut
can lead to saw blade breakage and bodily injury.
d) Do not operate the power tool with the access
cover to the saw blade open. Contact with moving
parts can cause bodily injury.
