5 Safety instructions

General power tool safety warnings

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (cored) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WARNING

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) The connection plug of the electric tool must fit into the socket. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and always safety goggles. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, safety helmet or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or rechargeable battery, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting tools or spanners/keys before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Avoid abnormal postures. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust extraction can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and attachments. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use electric tools, insertion tools, etc. according to these instructions. Take into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

5) Service

a) Only have your power tool repaired by qualified specialists and only with original spare parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

5.1 Safety instructions for band saws

a) Always use saw bands that are not damaged or deformed. Damaged or deformed saw bands could split and/or snap.
b) Do not use liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

c) Operate the band saw at the proper speed for recommended applications and materials. Using a speed inappropriate for the material being cut may lead to breakage of the saw band and personal injury.
d) Do not operate the tool when the band saw blade access cover is open. Contact with the moving parts may result in personal injury.

8.2 Which band saw blade to use

Check that the tool attachment is fitted securely.

Tool attachments that are not fitted correctly or securely may come loose during operation and injure you.

The band saw blade included in the scope of delivery is intended for universal use. The following criteria should be considered when selecting the band saw blade:

It is possible to cut tighter radii with a narrow band saw blade than with a wide band saw blade.
- Use wide band saw blades to perform straight cuts. This is important in particular when cutting wood. The band saw blade has a tendency to follow the wood grain and therefore deviates easily from the desired position.

• Fine-toothed band saw blades cut more smoothly, but also more slowly than coarse band saw blades.
• Only use undamaged band saw blades that are in perfect condition. Band saw blades that are bent, blunt or damaged in any other way can break.

8.3 Tensioning the band saw blade (17) (Fig. 1)

ATTENTION

If the band saw is at a standstill for an extended period, the band saw blade tension must be relieved, i.e. before switching the band saw on it is necessary to check the band saw blade tension.

1. To tension the band saw blade (17), turn the clamping screw (1) clockwise.

Notes:

• The correct tension of the band saw blade can be determined by pressing the finger laterally against the band saw blade, roughly centrally between the two band wheels (2 + 8) . The band saw blade should only depress slightly (approx. 1 - 2mm ) here.
• The sufficiently tensioned band saw blade makes a metallic sound when tapped.
  Relieve the band saw blade tension if it is not in use for an extended time, so that it does not become overstretched.

ATTENTION

With high tension, the band saw blade may break.

ATTENTION

Danger of injury!

If the tension is too low, the driven band wheel may spin, resulting in the band saw blade coming to a standstill.

1. To relieve the band saw blade (17), turn the clamping screw (1) anti-clockwise.

10 Working instructions

The following safe working methods are considered to contribute to safety but may not be appropriate, fully or extensively applicable for every use. They cannot cover all possible hazardous conditions and must be interpreted carefully.

• Risk to health from wood dust or wood chippings. It is essential that personal protective equipment, such as eye protection, is worn. Use a chip extraction system!
• If the product is not in operation, e.g. work is complete, you should slacken the band saw blade. Attach a corresponding note to the product for the next user about the tensioning of the band saw blade.
• Store unused band saw blades together and safely in a dry place. Check for faults, such as teeth or cracks, before use. Do not use defective band saw blades!

WARNING

Tool attachments may be sharp and become hot during use. Always wear protective gloves when handling the tool attachments.

• Check the covers and protective devices for damage and correct seating. Replace them if necessary.
• Wear hearing protection and safety goggles during the entire operating period.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
  Always position the band saw blade guide as close as possible to the workpiece when working.
• Only work in daylight or with good, artificial lighting.
  Always use the parallel stop for straight cuts in order to prevent the workpiece from tilting or slipping.
• Keep your hands at a safe distance from the band saw blade. Use a push stick for narrow cuts.
• For angled cuts, move the saw table into the appropriate position and guide the workpiece on the parallel stop.

• To cut dovetail-shaped tines, pins or wedges, put the saw table into the corresponding position on the angle scale.

• For curved and irregular cuts, you should guide the workpiece using both hands, push your closed fingers evenly. Hold the workpiece with your hands in a safe area.

• For repeated cutting of curve and irregular cuts, it is recommended to use an auxiliary template.
• When cutting round or irregular shaped wood, use a device to secure the workpiece and prevent it turning.

Note:

Before the first work and after each tool attachment change, carry out a test run without load. Switch off the product immediately if the tool attachment runs out of round, there is considerable vibration or abnormal noises are heard.

• Always position the band saw blade guide as close as possible to the workpiece when working.
• The workpiece must always be guided with both hands and kept flat against the saw table. This prevents the band saw blade from jamming.
• It is recommended to perform a cut in a single working step instead of dividing it into several sections, which may require the workpiece to be pulled back. However if pulling the workpiece back is unavoidable, the band saw should be switched off beforehand. The workpiece should only be pulled back once the band saw blade has come to a complete standstill.
• When sawing, the workpiece must always be guided by its longest side.

10.1 Performing longitudinal cuts (Fig. 1, 16)

Sawing along the wood fibre is referred to as a longitudinal cut. You can cut freehand along a marked out line or along the parallel stop to achieve a better result.

For right-angled cuts (saw table is at a right-angle to the band), the parallel stop is positioned to the left of the band saw blade so that the workpiece can be guided safely along the stop with the right hand.

ATTENTION

Secure long workpieces against tipping at the end of the cutting process (e.g. with a roller stand or similar).

1. Set the parallel stop (20) as described under 9.2.
2. Lower the band saw blade guide (5) onto the workpiece (see 8.6).
3. Switch the saw on as described under 9.1.
4. Place your hands flat on the workpiece with your fingers closed and slide it along the parallel stop (20) into the band saw blade (17).
5. Always slide the workpiece at a steady rate long the parallel stop up to the end using a push stick (21).

10.2 Performing cross cuts (Fig. 1, 14)

Cross cut refers to sawing at a right-angle to the fibre of the wood. Even this type of cutting can be performed free-hand, but it is recommended to use a litre gauge for safety and accuracy. The litre gauge can be adjusted for litre cuts up to 45^ . In combination with an inclined saw table, double litre cuts can also be made.

1. Use the litre gauge (19) as described under 9.3.

2. Hold the workpiece firmly against the stop of the mitre gauge (19) and flat on the saw table (7).

WARNING

Pay attention to your fingers, especially towards the end of the cut and maintain your distance from the tool attachment.

10.3 Performing angled cuts (Fig. 1, 15)

For metre cuts with an angled saw table, the parallel stop must be positioned on the downward facing side to the right of the band saw blade (if the workpiece width allows this), in order to secure the workpiece against slipping.

1. Adjust the saw table (7) to the desired angle (see 9.4).
2. Perform the cut as described under 10.1).

10.4 Freehand cuts (Fig. 1, 17)

One of the most important features of a band saw is the ease with which it can cut curves and radii.

1. Lower the saw blade guide (5) onto the workpiece (see 8.6).
2. Switch on the saw as described under 9.1.
3. Press the workpiece firmly onto the saw table (7) and push it slowly into the saw blade (17). In many cases, it is helpful to roughly saw out curves and corners approximately 6 mm away from the line.
4. If it is necessary to saw curves that are too tight for the band saw blade used, auxiliary cuts must be saw up to the front face of the curve. The final radius can be subsequently sawn out.
