repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
If the mains connection lead of this device is
damaged, it must be replaced with an original
Metabo mains connection lead.
Contact your local Metabo representative if you
have Metabo power tools requiring repairs. See
www.metabo.com for addresses.
You can download a list of spare parts from
www.metabo.com.
13. Environmental Protection
Observe national regulations on environmentally
compatible disposal and on the recycling of
disused machines, packaging and accessories.
Only for EU countries: never dispose of
power tools in your household waste! Used
power tools must be collected separately
and handed in for environmentally compatible
recycling in accordance with European Directive
2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic
equipment and its implementation in national
legal systems.
14. Troubleshooting Guide
Danger!
Before carrying out any fault service or
maintenance work, always:
1. switch machine OFF;
2. Unplug power cable;
3. Wait until the band saw blade has come to
a complete stop.
Check to see that all safety devices are
operational after each fault service.
Motor does not run
Undervoltage relay tripped by power failure:
switch on again.
No mains voltage
Check cables, plug, outlet and mains fuse.
Band saw blade wanders off the line of cut or
runs off the band saw wheels
Saw belt is not running dead centre on the band
saw wheels:
correct tracking (see "Care and Maintenance").
Band saw blade breaks
Incorrect tension:
correct band saw blade tension (see "Initial
Operation").
Load too high:
reduce pressure against band saw blade
(reduced feed rate).
Incorrect band saw blade:
replace band saw blade (see "Care and
Maintenance"):
curved cuts =
narrow band saw blade,
0909029210
straight cuts =
wide band saw blade.
Band saw blade warped
0909029180
Load too high:
avoid lateral pressure on the band saw blade.
0909000416
Saw vibrates
Insufficient mounting:
0909029171
Fasten saw properly to a suitable surface (see
"Initial operation").
Saw table loose:
0909000424
align and fasten saw table.
Motor mount loose:
check fastening screws, tighten if necessary.
Dust extraction port blocked
No dust collector connected or suction capacity
insufficient:
connect a dust collector or increase suction
capacity (air speed 20 m/sec at dust extraction
port).

standards).
Emission values
These values make it possible to assess the
emissions from the power tool and to compare
different power tools. The actual load may be
higher or lower depending on the operating
conditions, the condition of the power tool or the
accessories. Please allow for breaks and periods
for assessment purposes when the load is lower.
Arrange protective measures for the user, such as
organisational measures based on the adjusted
estimates.
