Electrical Safety

 Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is in the "OFF" position before connecting the machine to
the power source.
 Do not use the power tool if it cannot be switched on and off with the ON/OFF switch.
 Proper plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
 Ensure that the unit is earthed.
 There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is in ground contact. Avoid physical
contact with earthed objects, such as pipes, radiators, etc.
 Water that penetrates power tools increases the risk of electric shock. Do not expose the
power tools to rain or moisture.
 Only use suitable extension cords.
 A damaged or tangled cable increases the risk of electric shock. Handle the cable carefully.
Never use the cable to carry, pull or disconnect the power tool. Keep the cable away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
 Use of the power tool in a humid environment is only permitted if the power source is
protected by a residual current circuit breaker.
 Always shut down the machine before carrying out any conversion, adjustment, measuring,
cleaning, maintenance or repair work and always disconnect it from the power supply for
maintenance or repair work. Before starting any work on the machine, wait until all tools or
machine parts have come to a complete standstill and secure the machine against
unintentional restarting.

Safety instructions for wood band saws

 Work with gloves on rotating parts is not permitted!
 Replace torn and deformed saw blades immediately, they cannot be repaired.
 Never clean the band saw blade or the wood band saw rollers of the machine while running
with a brush or scraper held in the hand.
 Only use sharpened tools.
 Never remove parts of the workpiece from the cutting area while the machine is running.
 Do not use the machine to cut fire wood.
 When cutting boards in upright position, use aids to prevent kick-back.
 When cutting round or irregularly shaped wood, use a device to stop the workpiece from
twisting.
 Risk of injury to hands/fingers from the saw blade during operation.
 Risk of injury/cutting hazard due to deburred cutting edges.
 Risk of injury due to contact with live components.
 Risk of injury due to breakage or ejection of the saw blade or parts thereof, especially in the
event of overloading or incorrect running direction of the saw blade.
 Excessive noise can cause hearing damage and temporary or permanent hearing loss. Wear
hearing protection certified to health and safety regulations to limit noise exposure.
 Risk to the respiratory tract from harmful emissions of wood dust.
 Risk of injury to the eye from flying parts, also with protective goggles.
 During operation of the machine wood dust is generated. Therefore, connect the machine
to a suitable dust collection system during installation!
 Always switch on the dust collection system before you start machining the workpiece!

Hazard warnings

Despite their intended use, certain residual risks remain. Due to the design and construction of
the machine, hazardous situations may occur when handling the machines, which are identified
as follows in these operating instructions:
A safety instruction designed in this way indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Such a safety instruction indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in serious injury or even death.
