BS-245H
• Any other use exceeds authorisation.
The manufacturer is not responsible
for any damages resulting from
unauthorized use; risk is the sole
responsibility of the operator.
SAFETY FOR BANDSAWS
• This bandsaw is intended for use in dry
conditions, and for indoor use only.
• Do not cut pieces of material too small
to hold by hand outside the blade guard.
• Avoid awkward hand positions where
a sudden slip could cause a hand to
move into the blade.
• Always use the blade guard to avoid
possible injury due to blade breakage.
• Never leave the work area with the
power connected, or before the machine
has come to a complete stop.
• Do not perform layout, assembly or set
up work on the table while the cutting
tool is in operation.
• Never turn your bandsaw on before
clearing the table of all objects: (tools,
scraps of wood, etc) except for the
workpiece and related feed or support
devices for the operation planned.
REMAINING HAZARDS
The machine has been built using modern
technology in accordance with recognised
safety rules. Some remaining hazards,
however, may still exist.
• Long hair and loose clothing can be
hazardous when the work piece is
rotating. Wear personal protective gear
such as a hair net and tight fitting work
clothes.
• Saw dust and wood chips can be
hazardous. Always wear AS/NZS
approved personal protective gear
such as safety goggles, dust mask and
hearing protection.
• The use of incorrect or damaged mains
cables can lead to injuries caused by
electricity.
• Even when all safety measures are taken,
some remaining hazards which are not
yet evident may still be present.
• Remaining hazards can be minimised
by following the instructions in Safety
Precautions, Proper Use and
in the entire operating manual.
• Do not force the machine unnecessarily:
excessive cutting pressure may lead
to rapid deterioration of the blade and
a decrease in performance in terms of
finish and cutting precision.
• Avoid accidental starts: do not press the
start button while inserting the plug into
the socket.
