7 Additional Safety and Working
Instructions
a) Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metals can be harmful to one’s health and
cause allergic reactions, leading to respiratory
infections and/or cancer. Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country
for the materials to be worked.
b) Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace.
Dusts can easily ignite.
8 Additional Safety Warning for Band
Saws
a) Never stand on the power tool. Serious
injuries can occur when the power tool tips over
or when inadvertently coming into contact with
the saw blade.
b) Never remove cutting remainders, wood
chips, etc. from the sawing area while the
machine is running.
c) Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing
loss of control.
d) Operate the power tool only when the work
area to the work piece is clear of any adjusting
tools, wood chips, etc. Small pieces of wood or
other objects that come in contact with the
rotating saw blade can strike the operator with
high speed.
e) Keep the floor free of wood chips and material
remainders. You could slip or trip.
f) Use the machine only for cutting the materials
listed under Intended Use. Otherwise, the
machine can be subject to overload.
g) Do not touch the saw blade after working
before it has cooled. The saw blade becomes very
hot while working.
h) Check the cable regularly and have a damaged
cable repaired only through an authorised
customer service agent. Replace damaged
extension cables. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
i) Store the machine in a safe manner when not
being used. The storage location must be dry and
lockable. This prevents the machine from storage
damage, and from being operated by untrained
persons.
j) Never leave the machine before it has come to
a complete stop. Cutting tools that are still
running can cause injuries.
k) Never use the machine with a damaged cable.
Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the
mains plug when the cable is damaged while
working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an
electric shock.
