• Allow the tool to warm up for a while
load-free before you place the work-
piece to be machined on the tool. Pay
attention to vibrations and impact;
these phenomena may indicate a dam-
aged or improperly installed band saw
blade.
• Do not cut metal objects such as nails
or screws. Inspect the workpiece for
nails, screws and other foreign mate-
rials and, if necessary, remove them
before starting work.
• Keep hands away from the band saw
blade.
• Never stand in the cutting direction of
the band saw blade and keep all per-
sons away from this area.
• Use the push stick against the rip fence
when cutting straight pieces from small
workpieces.
• Attach the rip fence to the lower part
of the table for mitre cuts with a tilted
table.
• When cutting round or unevenly
shaped wood, use a suitable holding
device that prevents the workpiece from
twisting.
• Lower the saw blade guard down as
close as possible to the workpiece for
all cutting procedures.
• Secure long workpieces against tilting
at the end of the cutting operation (e.g.
unwinding stand).
• Do not clean the band saw blade while
it is still running.
• Never use separating guards for lifting
or transporting.
• When transporting the power tool, the
saw blade guard must be in the lowest
position near the table.
