WARNING!
disconnect the bandsaw from the power source before servicing, changing accessories, or performing any other
maintenance.
9
familiarise yourself with the applications and limitations of the bandsaw, as well as the potential hazards.
9
maintain the bandsaw in top condition. Keep it clean and keep blades sharp for best and safest performance.
9
use original sealey spare parts only. unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
9
Keep all guards and fixing screws in place, tight and in working order. check regularly for damaged parts. A guard or any other part
that is damaged must be repaired or replaced before the saw is used further. check also for incorrect alignment of moving parts,
loose mountings, or any other condition that could affect the operation of the saw.
9
ensure the space allocated for use and maintenance of the bandsaw is adequate, free from unrelated materials and has good lighting.
9
Wear approved eye and ear protection when operating the bandsaw. If dust is produced, wear an approved face or dust mask.
9
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area, especially when the saw is in operation.
9
remove any adjusting keys and wrenches from the bandsaw before operating.
9
ensure that large or oversized workpieces are supported at bed height. ensure you use a suitable support for any workpiece that does
not have a flat surface. Be cautious when cutting workpieces which are irregular in cross-section as the saw blade could be pinched
before the cut is completed. Any stock such as frame moulding, must lay flat on the table surface and not be allowed to rock.
WARNING!
round bar and tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut and cause the blade to “bite”.
DO NOT
cut such items
without
clamping or blocking the workpiece.
WARNING!
Never force the blade through the workpiece.

DO NOT
use this bandsaw for anything other than its intended purpose. this bandsaw is designed for metal cutting work in
engineering workshops, garages, metal fabricators, etc. .
WARNING!
the sm354ce bandsaw must not be used to cut non-metallic materials (including wood). to do so will invalidate your
insurance cover and your warranty and may cause damage and/or personal injury.
8
DO NOT
wear loose or ill-fitting clothing. remove ties, watches, rings and other jewellery. tie up, or adequately cover, long hair.
8
DO NOT
start the bandsaw until the workpiece is secure and the blade has been lowered to just above the workpiece.

DO NOT
run the bandsaw with the blade in the raised position.
