• Note the information published by your professional
associations.
• Adjustable protective devices have to be adjusted as
close as possible to the work piece.
m IMPORTANT! Support long work pieces (e.g. with a
roller table) to prevent them sagging at the end of a cut.
• Make sure the blade guard (4) 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 work pieces against the
longitudinal limit stop the push stick has to be used.
• Wear gloves when handling the saw blade and
rough materials
• The band saw 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 ta-
ble.
• Never use guards to lift or transport items.
• Ensure that the band saw blade guards are used and
correctly adjusted.
• Keep your hands a safety distance away from the
band saw blade. Use a push stick for narrow cuts.
• The push stick has to be stored on the intended de-
vice, so that it can be reached from normal working
position and is always ready to be used.
• In the normal operating position the operator is in
front of the machine.
