2.3 Additional safety instructions
▶ Keep your hands away from the cutting area and the bandsaw blade. Keep your second hand on the grip
with the safety switch. When both hands are on the saw they cannot be injured by the saw while it is in
use.
▶ Use the product and accessories only when they are in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the product or accessories in any way.
▶ Switch the product on only after you have brought it to the working position.
▶ Do not touch rotating parts – risk of injury!
▶ Take care when lifting and/or carrying the product - the bandsaw blade is sharp and can cause cut
injuries or damage to property.
▶ Wear eye protection, a hard hat and ear protection while the product is in use.
▶ Wear protective gloves when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool can result in
cuts and burns.
▶ Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain dangerous chemicals. Some
examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural stone
and other products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and chemically
treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the exposure of the operator and
bystanders by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked. Implement the necessary
measures to restrict exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a dust collection system or by
the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for reducing exposure include:
▶ working in an area that is well ventilated,
▶ avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
▶ directing dust away from the face and body,
▶ wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water and soap.
▶ To avoid injuries, use the bandsaw only with the bandsaw blade cover correctly installed.
▶ When ripping always use a fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of the cut and
reduces the chance of the blade binding.
▶ Never hold the workpiece with your hand or other part of the body. Secure the workpiece in a sturdy
holder. It is important to secure the workpiece firmly in order to minimize the risk of body contact, blade
binding, and loss of control.
▶ Always hold the product firmly with both hands on the grips provided for the purpose and position your
arms to absorb kickback forces.
▶ Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
▶ Position yourself off to one side of the blade, never bring the blade into line with your body. The saw can
jump backward toward you if kickback occurs!
▶ Make sure you have a firm stance, especially for overhead work. A sudden break-through can affect your
balance.
▶ When undertaking break-through work, secure the zone on both sides of the workpiece. Pieces of debris
can fall and cause injuries.
▶ If the saw blade binds or when you interrupt work for any reason, switch off the saw and hold it motionless
in the material until the saw blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the
workpiece or pull the saw back while the blade is in motion, as otherwise the saw could kick back.
▶ When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are
not in engagement with the workpiece.
▶ Use extra caution when sawing into walls or other blind areas. As it enters the material the blade might
encounter a hidden obstruction, resulting in kickback.
▶ Take frequent breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers. High
vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in
the fingers, hands and wrists.
▶ Do not look directly into the light source (LED) of the product and do not aim the beam at other persons'
faces. Risk of dazzling or eye damage.
▶ Before starting the cut, check that the bandsaw blade is correctly installed. An incorrectly installed
bandsaw blade can bind and cause a kickback.
▶ Risk of injury by falling tools and/or accessories. Before starting work, check that the battery and installed
accessories are secure.
Electrical safety
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes.
External metal parts of the product could give you an electric shock or cause an explosion if you
accidentally damage an electric cable or a gas or water pipe.
