71. General Safety Rules
WARNING! Read all instructions Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/
or serious injury. The term“power tool’ in all of the warnings
listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power
tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work area
a.
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark
areas invite accidents.
b.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tools plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tool. Unmodied 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 electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
c.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
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 increase 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.
3. Personal safety
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
inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the
o-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools
with your nger on the switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust-related hazards.
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 cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children 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. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may aect the power
tools operation. If damaged, 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.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
taking 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.
5. Service
a.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
6. Recommendation
a.
We recommend that the tool always be supplied via a residual
current device with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

13 8.7. Blade selection
The blade supplied with the bandsaw is designed for all-
purpose use. When you select a blade you should have regard
to the following criteria:
• Useanarrowbladetocuttighterradiusthanyoucanwith
a wider blade.
• Widebladesareusedtosawstraightcuts.Thisis
particularly important in cutting wood because the blade
has a tendency to follow the grain of the wood and there
by deviate easily from the cutting line.
• Finelytoothedbladesprovidesmoothercutsbutare
slower than coarse blades.
Important: Never use warped or lacerated blades!

• Important: Long workpieces must be secured against
falling o at the end of the cut (e.g. with a roller stand etc.)
10.2. Angular cuts (Fig.19)
To enable you to perform angular cuts parallel to the blade
(Fig.19/Item 26) , the table (Fig.19/Item 15) can be tilted
forwards between 0° - 45°.

the parallel stop (Fig.19/ Item 24) to the right of the blade
(Fig.19/Item 26) looking in the direction in which you are
working, on the side pointing downwards (provided the
workpiece is wide enough in order to stop the workpiece
from slipping o).

10.3. Freehanded cuts (Figure 21)
One of the most outstanding features of a bandsaw is the ease
with which it allows you to make curved cuts and radius.
