regulations in force in your area as well as all other
generally recognized rules of safety.
• Note the information published by your professional
associations.
• Adjustable protective devices have to be adjusted
as close as possible to the workpiece.
• Important! Support long workpieces (e.g. with a roll-

• 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 pro-
tecting the blade or the detachable safety device
are open.
• Ensure that the choice of blade and the selected
speed are 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.
• The bandsaw blade guard should be in its lowest
position 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.
• When cutting round timber, use a suitable holding
device to prevent the workpiece turning.
• 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.
