• When cutting round or irregularly shaped wood, use
a device to stop the workpiece from twisting.
• When cutting boards in upright position, use a de-
vice to prevent kick-back.
• A dust extraction system designed for an air velocity
of 20 m/s should be connected in order to comply
with woodworking dust emission values and to en-
sure reliable operation.
• Give these safety regulations to all persons who
work on the machine.
• Do not use this saw to cut fire wood.
• The machine is equipped with a safety switch to pre-
vent it being switched on again accidentally after a
power failure.
• Before you use the machine for the first time, check
that the voltage marked on the rating plate is the
same as your mains voltage.
• If you use a cable reel, the complete cable has to be
pulled off the reel.
• Persons working on the machine should not be dis-
tracted.
• Note the direction of rotation of the motor and blade.
• Never dismantle the machineʼs safety devices or put
them out of operation.
• Never cut workpieces which are too small to hold
securely in your hand.
• Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed piec-
es of wood when the saw blade is running.
• It is imperative to observe the accident prevention
regulations in force in your area as well as all other
generally recognized rules of safety.
• Note the information published by your professional
associations.
• Important! Support long workpieces (e.g. with a roller
table) to prevent them sagging at the end of a cut.
• Make sure the blade guard (3) is in its lower position
when the saw is being transported.
• Safety guards are not to be used to move or misuse
the machine.
• Blades that are misshapen or damaged in any way
must not be used.
• If the table insert is worn, replace it.
• Never operate the machine if either the door protecting
the blade or the detachable safety device are open.
• Make sure that the choice of saw band and speed is
suitable for the material to be cut.
• Do not begin cleaning the blade until it has come to
a complete standstill.
• For straight cuts of small workpieces against the
longitudinal limit stop the push stick has to be used.

• Wear gloves when handling the saw band and rough
materials!
• The bandsaw blade guard should be in its lowest po-
sition close to the bench during transport.
• For miter cuts when the table is tilted, the parallel stop
must be positioned on the lower part of the table.
• Never use guards to lift or transport items.
• Ensure that the bandsaw blade guards are used and
correctly adjusted.
• Keep your hands a safety distance away from the
bandsaw blade. Use a push stick for narrow cuts.
• Adjustable protective devices have to be adjusted as
close as possible to the workpiece.
• The push stick has to be stored on the intended de-
vice, so that it can be reached from normal working
position and is always ready to be used.
• In the normal operating position the operator is in
front of the machine.
• Do not use liquid coolants. Using water or other liq-
uid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
• Do not operate the tool when the band saw blade
access cover is open. Contact with the moving parts
may result in personal injury.
6. Remaining hazards
The machine has been built using modern technology
in accordance with recognized safety rules. Some re-
maining hazards, however, may still exist.
• Risk of injury for fingers and hands by the rotating saw
band due to improper handling of the work piece. Risk
of injury through the hurling work piece due to improp-
er handling, such as working without the push stick.
• Risk of damaging your health due to wood dust and
wood chips. Wear personal protective cloth such as
goggles. Use a fitting dust extractor.
• Risk of injury due to defective saw band. Regularely
check saw band for such defects.
• Risk of injury for fingers and hands while changing
saw band. Wear proper gloves.
• Risk of injury due to starting saw band while switch-
ing on the machine.
• The use of incorrect or damaged mains cables can
lead to injuries caused by electricity.
• 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.
• Even when all safety measures are taken, some re-
maining hazards which are not yet evident may still
be present.
