8. Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these can be caught in
moving parts. Non-skid footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
9. Use protective equipment.
Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask if working
operations create dust or flying particles. If these particles might
be considerably hot, also wear a heat-resistant apron. Wear ear
protection at all times. Wear a safety helmet at all times.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure that these are connected and properly
used.
11. Do not abuse the cord.
Never yank the cord to disconnect if from the socket. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Never carry the tool

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Maintain tools with care.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Inspect tools periodically and if damaged have them
repaired by an authorised service facility. Keep handles dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
15. Disconnect tools.
When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories
such as blades, bits and cutters, disconnect tool from the power
supply.
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Form the habit of checking to see that adjusting keys and
wrenches are removed from the tool before operating the tool.
17. Avoid unintentional starting.
Do not carry the tool with a finger on the switch. Be sure that the
tool is in the "off" position before plugging in.
18. Use outdoor extension leads.
Before use, inspect the extension cable and replace if damaged.
When the tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended
for outdoor use and marked accordingly.
19. Stay alert.
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate
the tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs or
alcohol.
20. Check for damaged parts.
Before use, carefully check the tool and mains cable to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service centre
unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Have any
damaged or defective switches replaced by an authorised service
center. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Never attempt any repairs yourself.
WARNING! The use of any accessory or attachment or
performance of any operation with this tool other than
those recommended in this instruction manual may present
a risk of personal injury.

• When the bandsaw blade is blocked caused by abnormal feed
force during cutting, switch the machine off and disconnect from
power supply. Remove the workpiece and ensure that the bandsaw
blade runs free. Switch the machine on and start new cutting
operation with reduced feed force.
• Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the work piece
from the cutting area whilst the machine is running.
• Provide adequate general or localized lighting
• Ensure the operator is adequately trained in use, adjustment and
operation of the machine.
• Switch the machine off when unattended.
• Connect the band saw to a dust collection when sawing wood.
Always consider factors influencing exposure of dust such as:
- Type of material to be machined (Chip board produces more
dust than wood).
- Correct adjustment of bandsaw blade.
- Ensure that the local extraction as well as hoods, baffles and
chutes are properly adjusted.
- Dust extractor with air velocity not less than 20 m/s.
• All time wear suitable personal protective equipment as:
- Hearing protection to reduce the risk of induced hearing loss.
- Respiratory protection to produce the risk of inhalation of
harmful dust.
- Gloves for handling the bandsaw blade and rough material.
• When straight cutting against rip fence use the push stick.
• Always place the guide (rip fence) on the lower side of the table
when cutting with the table inclined.
• When cutting round material use a suitable holding device to
prevent twisting of the workpiece.
• Before starting operation check correct adjustment and functionality
of the band saw guards.
• Workpiece sizes
Never cut workpiece smaller than 20 mm.
Without additional support the machine is designed to accept
the maximum workpiece size of:
Height 150 mm by width 230 mm by length 700 mm.
Longer workpiece needs to be supported by suitable additional
table.
• Keep other persons away from the work area. Do not allow
children, visitors or animals to come near the work area or to touch
the tool or mains cable.
• Use appropriate tool. The intended use is described in this
instruction. Do not force the tool. It does the job better and safer at
the rate for which it is intended.
• This machine is not designed for serial or con conveyor belt
production.
• Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Always use safety glasses. Use a face dust mask if working
operations create dust or flying particle. If these particles might
be considerable hot, also wear a heat-resistant apron. Wear ear
protection and safety helmet at all times
• Select the correct bandsaw blade for the different type of speed
settings and the material to be cut.
• Observe the maximum speed marked on the bandsaw blade
packaging.
• Do not use bandsaw blades that do not conform to the dimensions
stated in the technical data.
• Do not use deformed or damaged bandsaw blades.
• When performing bevel cuts, ensure that the rip fence is fixed on
the lower side of the table.
• Keep the push stick in its place when nut in use.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Never clean the machine whilst the saw band is in motion.
