ENGLISH
20. Use thecorrect extension leads. If you use extension leads outdoors, only use those designed for outdoor
use. Only use extension leads with thick enough diameter core wires and roll out thewhole lead.
21. Use common sense and be careful. Think before carrying out any task, so that it is carried out safely.
Never operate machines/power tools when you are tired or under theinfluence of medicine.
22. Check thefollowing before turning thetool on:
• That all guards and other parts are whole and in working order.
• That moving parts are free and correctly aligned.
• That no moving parts can get caught.
• That there are no visible defects.
• Other factors that can influence work execution.
23. Use only recommended accessories. The use of accessories which are not recommended by
themanufacturer may present arisk of personal injury.
24. Check that thetool conforms to current safety regulations. Repairs to thetool should only be carried out by
atradesman using original spares; otherwise thetool could cause accidents and personal injury.
Additional safety instructions
• If using afloor stand, make sure that theband saw is securely fastened to thestand and that thestand is
properly assembled and securely fastened to thefloor.
• Make sure that theband saw is positioned in such away that theworkpiece can be worked on in asafe manner.
• This saw must not be used for wet cutting. Doing so can lead to deadly electric shocks. This band saw is
only intended for dry cutting.
• The drive belt must not be put under too much tension; it will last longer if thetension is released when
thesaw is not in use.
• Do not allow thebuild-up of sawdust around themotor or inside themachine. Piles of sawdust are afire hazard.
• The sawblade must not be stopped through theexertion of pressure on theworkpiece or by apply force to
thesides of theblade.
• The machine’s safety guards must be in place and functioning properly. Always check that theblade guides
are correctly aligned.
• Never turn themachine on if thesaw blade is in contact with theworkpiece.
• Make sure that there are no nails or screws in theworkpiece which could damage thesaw blade.
• Do not attempt to modify themachine or its accessories in any way.
• Do not apply too much pressure to theworkpiece when feeding it into thesaw blade. A steady feed
rate reduces wear on thesaw and saw blade and consequently increases theefficiency and useful life of
theband saw. Replace any worn table inserts.
• Connect theband saw to adust extractor before starting to saw. The saw must not be used if any of its
panels is open or if theblade guard is not in place.
• Select an appropriate saw blade and sawing speed for thetype of workpiece.
• When sawing with atilted table, position theguide on thelower side of thetable.
• Position theblade guard as close to theworkpiece as possible.
Saw blade safety
• Use only blades recommended by themanufacturer/supplier.
• Do not use adamaged or deformed saw blade. Doing so could result in considerable danger to theuser
ordamage to themachine.
• The direction marked on thesaw blade should correspond to thedirection of thepulley’s rotation.
• The teeth of theblade should be pointing downwards when theblade is viewed from theside.
