EN
Use power tools, accessories and inserted tools etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the type
and conditions of work. The use of tools for work other than designed is likely to result in a dangerous situation.
Handles and gripping surfaces must be dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and gripping surfaces do
not allow for safe operation and control of the tool in dangerous situations.
Repairs
Repair the power tool only in authorized facilities using only original spare parts. This ensures proper operation safety of
the power tool.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The band saw is only designed for cutting pipes and sections made of metal. Any other use is forbidden. Do not use the band saw
for cutting wood, including fi rewood and construction timber, engineered wood products, or any materials which contain harmful
substances, e.g. asbestos. Do not cut ceramic materials, e.g. concrete or bricks.
The band saw only cuts in a straight line. Do not cut materials larger than the cutting range.
Wear personal protective equipment at work, including hearing protection, safety goggles or glasses, protective clothing with long
sleeves and legs, protective gloves and footwear with anti-slip soles.
When cutting dust-generating materials, wear respiratory protection, e.g. dust half-masks.
Before starting to cut, make sure that the saw blade has been correctly mounted and rotates in the correct direction.
Each time before starting any cutting operation, check the saw blade for damage. If any damage is found, replace the saw blade
with an undamaged one. Typical damage to the saw blade includes cracks, bends and broken teeth.
The saw blade must always be sharpened well.
Always hold the band saw handles with both hands during operation. Holding the band saw way can lead to a loss of control over
it. A loss of control of the band saw can lead to serious injury.
Move the saw blade straight and do not tilt the saw blade sideways while cutting; otherwise the saw blade can become stuck or
break. If the saw blade is stuck in the cut, immediately turn off the band saw by releasing the power switch, and release the saw
blade from the cut. Do not start cutting until the saw blade is completely clear from the cut. Otherwise, the tool may kick back
towards the operator which can cause serious injuries. The most common causes of the saw blade becoming stuck in the cut are:
tilting the saw blade sideways during cutting, changes in the structure of the material being cut, e.g. internal voids, and overloading
of the band saw by pressing it down into the material with excessive force.
When you want to resume cutting, let the saw blade reach the full set speed fi rst before introducing it back into the cut.
When cutting materials which may contain concealed live wires, hold the band saw by its insulated handles. Cutting a live wire can
result in electric shock and serious injury or death.
The band saw reaches a high temperature when cutting. Be extremely careful when working and directly afterwards. Avoid contact
with hot saw blade: serious injury hazard.
Remove the cutting swarf when the saw blade has stopped completely. Removing swarf with the saw blade in motion may result
in serious injury.
Vibration hazard
Although this tool is designed to minimise vibration risks, it was impossible to completely eliminate the vibrations which may
cause residual risks. Improper handling of the tool can cause risks associated with vibration exposure. Vibration exposure may
result in permanent damage to the nerves and blood circulation in the hands and the arms. Wear warm clothes when working
at low temperatures and keep the hands warm and dry. If numbness, tingling, pain or skin whiteness occurs in your fi ngers or
hands, stop operating the tool, report to the employer, and consult a doctor. Operate and perform maintenance works on the tool
according to the instructions in this manual to avoid unnecessary increase of the vibration level. Choose, maintain and replace
the consumables / cutters as described in this manual to prevent unnecessary increase of the vibration level. Rest the weight of
the tool on its base, tensioner or stabiliser, if possible. Maintain a light, yet fi rm grip on the tool and mind the reaction forces from
operating the tool. The risk of vibration is higher the higher is the force of your grip on the tool. Incorrect mounting of the cutter in
the tool may result in increased vibration levels.
Residual risks
Even the correct operation of the tool entails certain and unavoidable residual risks. Depending on the type and design of the tool,
the following potential hazards may occur, originating from:
- touching an unguarded part of the saw blade, resulting in physical injury;
- exposure to ejected fragments of the saw blade upon its fracture, resulting in physical injury;
- ejection of workpiece fragments;
- hearing loss if the required hearing protection is not worn at work;
- exposure to harmful substances leaking from the workpiece. Failure to follow the tool manual may result in misuse and expose
the operator to other residual risks.
