4. Proper use
The portable metal band saw with speed setting is ex-
clusively suited for cutting wood, pipes, profiles and
thin non-ferrous metals.
The shape of the workpieces must be such that safe
clamping in the machine vice is possible and such that
the workpiece is prevented from jumping out during
the sawing process.
The machine may only be used in the intended man-
ner. Any use beyond this is improper. The user/oper-
ator, 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:
• Danger of injury to the eyes when the necessary
eye protection is not used.
• 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 workpiece change (cut-
ting hazard).
• 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.

5. General power tool safety warnings
• WARNING Read all safety information and in-
structions. Failure to observe safety information
and instructions can result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injuries.
• Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
• The term "electric tool" used in the safety instruc-
tions refers to mains-powered electrical tools (with
a mains cable).
1 Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions may cause you to lose con-
trol of the device.
2 Electrical safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfac-
es, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Do not use the cable for another purpose, for exam-
ple, carrying or hanging the power tool or pulling the
plug out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving device parts. Damaged or
coiled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
