tensioning of the saw band.
• Store unused saw bands together and safely in a dry place. Check them for faults (e.g. teeth and cracks) before use. Do not use defective saw bands!
• The correct belt tension contributes significantly to a straight cut of the saw band. Check and correct the clamping force after sawing if necessary.
• Wear suitable protective gloves when handling saw band.
• Mount all protective and safety devices to the machine before starting work.
• Never clean the saw band or the saw band guide rollers with a hand-held brush or scraper while the saw band is running.
• Resinous saw bands pose a safety hazard and must be cleaned regularly.

connection as well as the extension cable used must also comply with these regulations.
Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is often damaged. This may have the following causes:
• Pressure points, where connection cables are passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been improperly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not be used and are life-threatening due to the insulation damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage regularly.
Ensure that the connection cables are disconnected from electrical power when checking for damage.
Electrical connection cables must comply with the applicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use connection cables with designation H05VV-F. The printing of the
type designation on the connection cable is mandatory.
