•
Always make sure to treat power tools with care, to keep them clean, sharp and in pristine
condition by performing maintenance on a regular basis to ensure a flawless functionality. Sharp
and clean tools are easier and safer to handle while poorly maintained tools increase the risk of
accidents.
•
Make sure that moving parts can move without any kind of obstruction before starting the device.
Devices equipped with connections for dust extraction and collection equipment should only be
used along with said equipment to relate dust related hazards.
•
Damaged or worn power tools must not be operated, as their condition greatly affects their
performance and safety. Have damaged parts be repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician
and do not use the device unless it is in pristine condition.
•
Always store the device in a dry and safe place inaccessible to children and unauthorised indi-
viduals.
Safety of power tool use and care
•
Only use tools for their intended purpose and always operate them at a speed appropriate for
them. Forcing a tool decreases its efficiency and increases the risk of accidents.
•
Do not use power tools if their switches do not function correctly and the tools cannot be turned
on or off properly. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous, must
not be used and must be repaired.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power supply and/or remove the battery from power tools before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing them. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of accidentally starting the power tool.
•
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow individuals unfamiliar with
the tool or the content of this operation manual to operate the power tool. Power tools are dan-
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
•
Maintain power tools regularly. Ensure that moving parts are not misaligned, jammed, worn, or
damaged in any way. Damaged or worn parts may affect the operation of the tool and may
cause accidents. In case of one or more parts being damaged or showing signs of wear, make
sure to replace the affected part before the power tool is used again.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp blades are less
likely to jam and can be controlled more easily.
•
Use the power tool as well as its accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with the instruc-
tions found within this operation manual, considering the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Using the power tool for operations deviating from its intended purpose may result
in hazardous situations and lead to property damage as well as severe injuries.
Safety of service
Have your power tool serviced by qualified personnel and make sure that only identical parts of equal
quality are used as spare parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Portable band saw specific safety information
•
Always hold this power tool by its insulated gripping surfaces during operation, as cutting ac-
cessories or other metal parts may come in contact with hidden live wire sources.
•
Never leave this tool unattended and do not put it down until its blade comes to a complete stop,
as the tool can get out of control if moving parts make contact with a surface.
•
Before each use, make sure that the tension handle is in its closed position, tightening the blade.
•
Always ensure that the cutting material is securely fastened down before beginning to work on
it. Work slowly and carefully when performing tasks such as cutting corners, sharp edges, or
ragged welds to avoid snagging.
•
Cutting material as well as the motor housing of the tool can get very hot during operation. Take
breaks on a regular basis to allow the device to cool down and to thereby prolong its work life
and minimise the risk of injury.
•
Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety information and must
remain readable.
•
Always be sure to prepare to begin work before turning on the tool to avoid unnecessarily star-
ting the same.
