3. Safety
3.1
Specified Conditions of
Use
This bandsaw is suitable for cutting
wood, plastics and non-ferrous metals
(no hard or hardened metals).
Do not cut round stock transverse to its
longitudinal axis without suitable jigs or
fixtures. The rotating saw blade could
turn the workpiece.
When sawing thin stock layed on edge,
a suitable guide must be used for firm
support.
Any other use is not as specified. The
manufacturer is not liable for any dam-
age caused by unspecified use.
Alteration of the saw or use of parts not
approved by the equipment manufac-
turer can cause unforeseeable damage!
3.2
General Safety Informa-
tion
Danger!
This machine is a power tool
which can, due to operator careless-
ness, cause severe personal injury,
hence it is strongly recommended you
read and observe:
•
these instructions, particularly the
special safety information in the
respective chapters;
•
the
safety
enclosed red booklet;
•
legal regulations pertaining to the
operation of bandsaws, where appli-
cable.
Keep all documents, supplied with the
saw, for future reference.
This machine shall only be started and
operated by persons familiar with band-
saws and who are at any time aware of
the dangers associated with the opera-
tion of such tool.
Persons under 18 years of age shall use
this machine only under the supervision
of an instructor in the course of their
vocational training.
The following residual risks do principally
exist with bandsaws and can not, even
by employing safety devices, com-
supplier
pletely eliminated:
− Danger caused by alteration of
the machine or use of parts not
approved by the equipment man-
ufacturer:
Assemble the machine exactly as
detailed in this manual.
Use only parts approved by the
equipment manufacturer.
Do not change any parts.

− Hazard generated by uninten-
tional starting of the machine:
Unplug before opening the machine.
Unplug when the machine is not in
use.
− Hazard generated by environmen-
tal conditions:
Do not operate the machine in rain
or damp environment. Ensure suffi-
cient lighting. Do not operate the
machine near inflammable liquids or
gases.
− Hazard to other persons in the
work area:
This machine may only be operated
by one person at a time.
Keep bystanders, particularly chil-
dren, out of the danger zone.
− Hazard generated by machine
faults:
Check the machine, its safety
devices and accessories for defects
before using it. Do not operate the
machine with a faulty part. Replace
faulty safety devices, cracked or
deformed bandsaw blades as well
as damaged table inserts immedi-
ately.
− Hazard generated by an unstable
stand of the machine:
Use suitable supports on both sides
of the machine when working long
stock. Prevent adverse body posi-
tions. Ensure firm footing and keep
your balance at all times.

objects in the machine:
Before any starting, check to see
that no foreign objects (e.g. tools)
are left on or in the machine.
− Danger! Drawing-in/trapping haz-
ard!
Assume proper operating position:
Take care that no parts of the body
or clothing can get caught and
drawn in by the rotating saw blade
(do not wear neck ties and garments
with wide sleeves; contain long hair
with a hairnet).
− Risk of injury by inhaling wood
dust:
Dust of certain timber species (e.g.
oak, beech, ash) can cause cancer
when inhaled. Always use a dust
collector. The dust collector must
meet the following requirements:
− must fit the dust extraction port of
the saw;
− air flow volume ≥ 550 m
− vacuum at the bandsaw's dust
extraction port ≥ 740 Pa;
− air speed at the bandsaw's dust
extraction port ≥ 20 m/s.
− Risk of injury by inadequate per-
sonal protection:
