c) Keep children and bystanders away while op- erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of the power tool.

2. Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Nev- er modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied 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 elec- tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con- ditions. 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 in- crease 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.

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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or med- ication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Wear personal protective equipment and al- ways 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 o󰀨-position before connecting to power source and/or rechargeable battery, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites acci- dents. The liability of the manufacturer and resulting damages are excluded in the event of modications of the machine. Despite use as intended, specic risk factors cannot be entirely eliminated. Due to the design and layout of the machine, the following risks remain:

• Hearing damage when the necessary hearing pro- tection is not used.

• Harmful emissions of wood dusts during use in en- closed areas.

• Risk of accident due to contact with the hands in the uncovered cutting area of the tool.

• Danger of injury during a tool change (cutting haz- ard).

• Danger due to the ejection of workpieces or parts of the workpiece.

• Danger due to kick-back.

• Tilting of the workpiece due to insu󰀩cient workpiece support surface.

• Touching the cutting tool.

• Ejection of branches and workpiece parts. Please note that our equipment was not designed with the intention of use for commercial or industrial purpos- es. We assume no guarantee if the device is used in com- mercial or industrial applications, or for equivalent work.

5. General safety instructions

General safety information for power tools m WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future ref- erence. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operat- ed (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Clut- tered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive at- mospheres, such as in the presence of am- mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.www.scheppach.com

g) Use the power tool, tool attachments and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions. Take into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations di󰀨erent 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.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. m WARNING! This power tool generates an electro- magnetic eld during operation. This eld can im- pair active or passive medical implants under cer- tain circumstances. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that per- sons with medical implants consult with their phy- sician and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operating the power tool. Additional safety instructions

• Wear protective gloves for all maintenance work on the saw band!

• When cutting round timber, use a device to prevent the workpiece turning.

• When cutting boards on edge, use a device to pre- vent the workpiece kicking back.

• To comply with the dust emission values for wood- working and for safe operation, a dust extraction system with an air speed of at least 20 m/s should be connected.

• Pass the safety instructions on to all persons who work on the machine.

• Never use the saw to cut rewood.

• The machine is equipped with a safety switch against reactivation if the voltage drops.

• Before commissioning, check that the voltage on the device type plate corresponds to the mains voltage.

• Only use cable reels in the unrolled state.

• Personnel working on the machine must not be dis- tracted.

• Observe the direction of rotation of the motor and saw band. 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 foot- ing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and cloth- ing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew- ellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, en- sure 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 ig- nore 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 o󰀨. Any power tool that can- not 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 adjust- ments, changing accessories, or storing pow- er tools. Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil- dren 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 a󰀨ect the power tool’s operation. If dam- aged, 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.www.scheppach.com

• During freehand cutting you should always work with a low advancing speed, so that the saw band can follow the desired line.

10. Working instructions

The following recommendations are examples for safe use of the band saws. 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.

• When working in enclosed spaces, connect the ma- chines to a chip extraction system.

• If the machine is not in operation, e.g. work is com- plete, slacken the saw band. Attach a corresponding note to the machine for the next user about the ten- sioning of the saw band.

• Store unused saw bands together and safely in a dry place. Check for faults (teeth, cracks) before use. Do not use defective saw bands!

• Wear suitable gloves when handling saw bands.

• Before starting work, all guards and safety devices on the machine must be securely tted.

• Never clean the band saw blade or the band saw blade guide with a hand-held brush or scraper if the band saw blade is running. Resinous band saw blades jeopardise work safety and must be cleaned regularly.

• Wear safety goggles and hearing protection when working for your personal protection. Wear a hair net with long hair. Roll loose sleeves up above the elbows.

• Always position the band saw blade guide as close as possible to the workpiece when working.

• Make sure that the lighting conditions in the working and surrounding area of the machine are su󰀩cient.

• Always use the rip fences for straight cuts in order to prevent the workpiece from tilting or slipping.

• Use the push stick for processing narrow workpiec- es with manual advance.

• For angled cuts, bring the saw table into the appro- priate position and guide the workpiece along the longitudinal stop.

• In order to cut dovetail tenons and teeth or wedges, swivel the saw table into the plus and minus position. Ensure that the workpiece is guided safely.

• On curved and irregular cuts, advance the work- piece using both hands, keeping your ngers closed. Keep your hands on a safe area of the workpiece.

• For repeated cutting of curve, irregular cuts, use an auxiliary template.

• Secure the workpiece against turning when cutting round pieces of wood.www.scheppach.com

Spare parts and accessories can be obtained from our Service Centre. To do this, scan the QR code on the front page.

Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry and frost-free place that is inaccessible to children. The optimum storage temperature is between 5 and 30˚C. Store the power tool in its original packaging. Cover the power tool to protect it from dust or moisture. Store the operating manual with the power tool.

13. Electrical connection

The electrical motor installed is connected and ready for operation. The connection complies with the applicable VDE and DIN provisions. The cus- tomer’s mains connection as well as the exten- sion cable used must also comply with these reg- ulations. Important information In the event of overloading, the motor will switch itself o󰀨. After a cool-down period (time varies) the motor can be switched back on again. Damaged electrical connection cable The insulation on electrical connection cables is often damaged. This may have the following causes:

• Pressure points, where connection cables are passed through windows or doors.

• Kinks where the connection cable has been improp- erly fastened or routed.

• Places where the connection cables have been cut due to being driven over.

• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall outlet.

• Cracks due to the insulation ageing. Such damaged electrical connection cables must not be used and are life-threatening due to the insulation damage. Check the electrical connection cables for damage regu- larly. Ensure that the connection cables are disconnected from electrical power when checking for damage. Electrical connection cables must comply with the ap- plicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use connection cables with the designation H05VV-F.

• In many cases it is helpful to roughly saw curves and corners approximately 6 mm from the line.

• If it is necessary to saw curves that are too tight for the saw band used, auxiliary cuts must be sawn up to the front face of the curve, so that these fall o󰀨 as wood waste when the nal radius is sawn.

10.4 Executing cuts with the mitre gauge

• Perform the cut as described under 10.1.

11. Cleaning and maintenance

m Warning! Pull out the mains plug before carry- ing out any setting, servicing or repair work! General maintenance tasks Wipe swarf and dust o󰀨 the machine from time to time with a cloth.
