▶ Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
▶ Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
▶ Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130° C (265 °F) may cause explosion.
▶ Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
▶ Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
▶ Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
2.2 Safety instructions for band saws
▶ Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessories contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
2.3 Additional safety instructions
▶ Keep your hands away from the cutting area and the bandsaw blade. Keep your second hand on the grip
with the safety switch. When both hands are on the saw they cannot be injured by the saw while it is in
use.
▶ Use the product and accessories only when they are in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the product or accessories in any way.
▶ Switch the product on only after you have brought it to the working position.
▶ Do not touch rotating parts – risk of injury!
▶ Take care when lifting and/or carrying the product - the bandsaw blade is sharp and can cause cut
injuries or damage to property.
▶ Wear eye protection, a hard hat and ear protection while the product is in use.
▶ Wear protective gloves when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool can result in
cuts and burns.
▶ Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain dangerous chemicals. Some
examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural stone
and other products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and chemically
treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the exposure of the operator and
bystanders by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked. Implement the necessary
measures to restrict exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a dust collection system or by
the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for reducing exposure include:
▶ working in an area that is well ventilated,
▶ avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
▶ directing dust away from the face and body,
▶ wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water and soap.
▶ To avoid injuries, use the bandsaw only with the bandsaw blade cover correctly installed.
▶ When ripping always use a fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of the cut and
reduces the chance of the blade binding.
▶ Never hold the workpiece with your hand or other part of the body. Secure the workpiece in a sturdy
holder. It is important to secure the workpiece firmly in order to minimize the risk of body contact, blade
binding, and loss of control.
▶ Always hold the product firmly with both hands on the grips provided for the purpose and position your
arms to absorb kickback forces.
▶ Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
▶ Position yourself off to one side of the blade, never bring the blade into line with your body. The saw can
jump backward toward you if kickback occurs!
▶ Make sure you have a firm stance, especially for overhead work. A sudden break-through can affect your
balance.
