Safety information
for band saws
• Do not operate this tool near highly
flammable liquids or gases.
Wear protective gloves when handling
the band saw blade or raw materials.
• Always wear safety goggles while
working.
• Always wear a face mask or dust mask.
• Replace worn table inserts.
• Never use damaged or deformed saw
bands.
• Check the band saw blade carefully
for cracks or other damage before use.
Replace a band saw blade immediate-
ly if it has cracks or other damage.
• Only use saw blades recommended
by the manufacturer which conform to
EN 847-1.
• Select a suitable band saw blade for
the material to be cut and set a suit-
able speed.
• Only use accessory parts which are
recommended in this instruction man-
ual. Using unsuitable accessory parts
can lead to injuries.
• Make sure that the band saw blade
is always sharp and clean so that the
noise level is kept to a minimum.
• Do not operate the power tool when the
guard protecting the saw blade is open.
• Connect the band saws to a dust ex-
traction device when sawing wood.
• Remove spanners, sawdust etc. from
the table before switching on the ma-
chine.
• Allow the tool to warm up for a while
load-free before you place the work-
piece to be machined on the tool. Pay
attention to vibrations and impact;
these phenomena may indicate a dam-
aged or improperly installed band saw
blade.
• Do not cut metal objects such as nails
or screws. Inspect the workpiece for
nails, screws and other foreign mate-
rials and, if necessary, remove them
before starting work.
• Keep hands away from the band saw
blade.
• Never stand in the cutting direction of
the band saw blade and keep all per-
sons away from this area.
• Use the push stick against the rip fence
when cutting straight pieces from small
workpieces.
• Attach the rip fence to the lower part
of the table for mitre cuts with a tilted
table.
• When cutting round or unevenly
shaped wood, use a suitable holding
device that prevents the workpiece
from twisting.
• Lower the saw blade guard down as
close as possible to the workpiece for
all cutting procedures.
• Secure long workpieces against tilting
at the end of the cutting operation (e.g.
unwinding stand).
• Do not clean the band saw blade
while it is still running.
• Never use separating guards for lifting
or transporting.
• When transporting the power tool, the
saw blade guard must be in the lowest
position near the table.
