General instructions

The following safe working practices are
considered to contribute to safety, but may
not be appropriate, complete or fully ap-
plicable to every application. They cannot
cover every possible danger and must be
carefully interpreted.
• When working in closed spaces, con-
nect the machine to an extraction sys-
tem.
• Never clean the band saw blade or the
saw blade guard with a hand-held brush
or scraper while the band saw blade is
running. Hardened band saw blades
endanger operational safety and must
be cleaned regularly.
• For your personal protection, wear safe-
ty goggles and hearing protection when
working. Wear a hair net if you have
long hair. Roll up loose sleeves to above
the elbows.
• Before starting work, all protective and
safety devices must be securely mounted
on the machine.
• When working, always position the saw
blade guard as close as possible to the
workpiece.
• Always hold the workpiece so that your
hands are as far away from the band
saw blade as possible.
• Always hold the workpiece so that your
fingertips point away from the band saw
blade.
• When the machine is not being used,
e.g. when you have finished working,
release the tension of the band saw
blade. Attach an appropriate note to
the machine for the next user, to instruct
them how to tension the band saw
blade.
• Safely fold unused band saw blades
and store them in a dry place. Check for
defects (teeth, cracks) before use. Do not
use faulty band saw blades.
• Wear protective gloves when handling
the band saw blade or raw materials.
• Use the push stick to manually feeding
narrow workpieces.
• When cutting round or unevenly shaped
wood, use a suitable holding device that
prevents the workpiece from twisting.
• Secure long workpieces against tilting
at the end of the cutting operation, e.g.
unwinding stand.
• Lower the saw blade guard (5) down as
close as possible to the workpiece for
all cutting procedures (see "Raising and
lowering the saw blade guard").
• The workpiece must always be guided
with both hands and held flat on the
saw table (6). This prevents the band
saw blade (27) from jamming.
