4. Proper use
The band saw is used for the longitudinal and trans-
verse cutting of timbers or wood-like workpieces.
Round materials may only be cut using suitable hold-
ing devices.
The machine may only be used in the intended man-
ner. Any use beyond this is improper. The user/opera-
tor, not the manufacturer, is responsible for damages
or injuries of any type resulting from this.
Only saw bands that are suitable for the machine may
be used. An element of the intended use is also the
observance of the safety instructions, as well as the
assembly instructions and operating information in the
operating manual.
Persons who operate and maintain the machine must
be familiar with the manual and must be informed
about potential dangers. In addition, the applicable
accident prevention regulations must be strictly ob-
served. Other general occupational health and safe-
ty-related rules and regulations must be observed.
The liability of the manufacturer and resulting dam-
ages are excluded in the event of modifications of the
machine.
Despite use as intended, specific risk factors cannot
be entirely eliminated. Due to the design and layout of
the machine, the following risks remain:
• Hearing damage when the necessary hearing pro-
tection is not used.
• Harmful emissions of wood dusts during use in en-
closed areas.
• Risk of accident due to contact with the hands in the
uncovered cutting area of the tool.
• Danger of injury during a tool change (cutting haz-
ard).
• Danger due to the ejection of workpieces or parts
of the workpiece.
• Crushing of fingers.
• Danger due to kick-back.
• Tilting of the workpiece due to insufficient workpiece
support surface.
• Touching the cutting tool.
• Ejection of branches and workpiece parts.
Please note that our equipment was not designed with
the intention of use for commercial or industrial pur-
poses. We assume no guarantee if the device is used
in commercial or industrial applications, or for equiv-
alent work.
5. General safety instructions
Attention! The following basic safety measures must
be observed when using power tools for protection
against electric shock, and the risk of injury and fire.
Read all these notices before using the power tool and
store the safety instructions well for later reference.
Safe work
1. Keep the work area orderly
– Disorder in the work area can lead to accidents.
2. Take environmental influences into account
– Do not expose power tools to rain.
– Do not use electric tools in a damp or wet en-
vironment.
– Make sure that the work area is well-illuminated.
– Do not use power tools where there is a risk of
fire or explosion.
3. Protect yourself from electric shock
– Avoid physical contact with earthed parts (e.g.
pipes, radiators, electric ranges, cooling units).
4. Keep other persons away.
– Do not allow other persons, especially children,
to touch the power tool or the cable. Keep them
away from your work area.
5. Securely store unused power tools
– Unused power tools should be stored in a dry,
elevated or closed location out of the reach of
children.
6. Do not overload your power tool
– They work better and more safely in the specified
output range.
7. Use the correct power tool
– Do not use low-output electric tools for heavy work.
– Do not use the power tool for purposes for which it
is not intended. For example, do not use handheld
circular saws for the cutting of branches or logs.
– Do not use the power tool to cut firewood.
