•Always make sure to treat power tools with care, to keep them clean, sharp and in pristine
condition by performing maintenance on a regular basis to ensure a flawless functionality. Sharp
and clean tools are easier and safer to handle while poorly maintained tools increase the risk of
accidents.
•Make sure that moving parts can move without any kind of obstruction before starting the device.
Devices equipped with connections for dust extraction and collection equipment should only be
used along with said equipment to relate dust related hazards.
•Damaged or worn power tools must not be operated, as their condition greatly affects their
performance and safety. Have damaged parts be repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician
and do not use the device unless it is in pristine condition.
•Always store the device in a dry and safe place inaccessible to children and unauthorised indi-
viduals.
Safety of power tool use and care
•Only use tools for their intended purpose and always operate them at a speed appropriate for
them. Forcing a tool decreases its efficiency and increases the risk of accidents.
•Do not use power tools if their switches do not function correctly and the tools cannot be turned
on or off properly. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous, must
not be used and must be repaired.
•Disconnect the plug from the power supply and/or remove the battery from power tools before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing them. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of accidentally starting the power tool.
•Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow individuals unfamiliar with
the tool or the content of this operation manual to operate the power tool. Power tools are dan-
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
•Maintain power tools regularly. Ensure that moving parts are not misaligned, jammed, worn, or
damaged in any way. Damaged or worn parts may affect the operation of the tool and may
cause accidents. In case of one or more parts being damaged or showing signs of wear, make
sure to replace the affected part before the power tool is used again.
•Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp blades are less
likely to jam and can be controlled more easily.
•Use the power tool as well as its accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with the instruc-
tions found within this operation manual, considering the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Using the power tool for operations deviating from its intended purpose may result
in hazardous situations and lead to property damage as well as severe injuries.
Safety of service
Have your power tool serviced by qualified personnel and make sure that only identical parts of equal
quality are used as spare parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Portable band saw specific safety information
•Always hold this power tool by its insulated gripping surfaces during operation, as cutting ac-
cessories or other metal parts may come in contact with hidden live wire sources.
•Never leave this tool unattended and do not put it down until its blade comes to a complete stop,
as the tool can get out of control if moving parts make contact with a surface.
•Before each use, make sure that the tension handle is in its closed position, tightening the blade.
•Always ensure that the cutting material is securely fastened down before beginning to work on
it. Work slowly and carefully when performing tasks such as cutting corners, sharp edges, or
ragged welds to avoid snagging.
•Cutting material as well as the motor housing of the tool can get very hot during operation. Take
breaks on a regular basis to allow the device to cool down and to thereby prolong its work life
and minimise the risk of injury.
•Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety information and must
remain readable.
•Always be sure to prepare to begin work before turning on the tool to avoid unnecessarily star-
ting the same.

•When using this handheld power tool, make sure to always maintain a firm grip on it, using both
hands to resist starting torque.
•Always make sure to properly turn the tool off and to disconnect it from its power source when
it is not in use.
•Always make sure that this tool is inaccessible to children to prevent them from playing with it.
•Electromagnetic fields near cardiac pacemakers can lead to interference or failure of the cardiac
pacemaker. It is recommended to measure the field strength with an appropriate warning de-
vice. In addition, people with pacemakers should avoid operating the saw alone.
•Maintenance and inspection to prevent electric shock are essential. Each power cord must be
properly grounded.
•The warnings, precautions, and instructions contained in this operation manual cannot cover all
possible scenarios that may potentially occur. Always use the tool with foresight and caution.

ilities, or lack of experience and/or knowledge if they have received instructions concerning the
use of the tool from and are being supervised by a person familiar with the tool and responsible
for their safety. Children are not allowed to operate the tool and should be always supervised to
ensure that they do not play with it.
•Always turn the tool off properly and disconnect it from its power source before making any
adjustments or changing accessories.
Safety of getting started
•Always ensure that the supply voltage conforms to the voltage indicated on the nameplate of
the tool.
•Familiarise yourself with all the instructions and information contained within this operation ma-
nual as well as the tool itself before using it for the first time. It is recommended to perform test
cuts to get used to the tool before beginning work on an actual project.
•Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines or call the local utility company for assistance
(contact with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical shock; damaging a gas line can result in
an explosion; penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage and may lead to electrical
shock).
•Do not work materials containing asbestos, as the dust released by doing so is highly carcino-
genic.
•Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some types of wood, minerals and metal may
be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory
diseases to the operator or individuals within the vicinity. Wear a dust mask and use a dust
extraction device whenever possible.
•Follow the dust-related national requirements for the materials you want to work with.
•Do under no circumstances attempt to clamp the tool in a vice.
After use
Always make sure to let the moving parts of the tool come to a complete halt before placing it anywhere.
Never attempt to forcefully stop the rotation of the accessory.

Application
Installing and replacing the blade
1. Turn the tension handle (A) clockwise to release the tension of the blade.
2. Set the blade into both guide bearings (J), making sure that the blade is centred on them.
3. Hold the blade on the guides and push in. Make sure that the blade fits around the wheels
evenly.
4. Turn the tension handle (A) until the blade is taut and the handle tight.
5. Put on your ear and eye protection before connecting the tool to a power supply. Turn on the
tool.
6. Carefully inspect the blade and make sure it runs steadily and evenly around the wheels and
that its teeth are pointed in the correct direction.
Assembling the guide bar
1. Assemble the guide bar (G) and attach it to the band saw before operating.
2. Release the screws (I) located on the frame.
3. Move the guide bar (G) around the blade as shown, then lock the screws.
Switching the machine on and off
1. Turn on/off the portable band saw by the on/off switch (F).
2. Adjust the speed by turning the speed dial (E).
3. The speed can be adjusted to cut different materials.
Cutting
1. Make sure that the switch is in the off-position before connecting the tool to a power source.
2. Properly secure your workpiece by clamping it to a workbench or other solid surface.
3. Always be aware of the position of the power cord of the tool and make sure to keep it out of
the way.
4. Place the guide bar (G) against the workpiece, keeping the blade at a 90° angle to the work-
piece.
5. Turn the band saw on and allow it to come reach full speed before making a cut.

7. Tilt the tool as depicted above to bring the blade into a vertical position. When cutting, start out
using minimal force to create a groove. Once a groove has been created, allow the rest of the
blade to cut into the workpiece. Doing this will prevent blade from moving from side-to-side
during the cutting process.
Caution! Do not apply force to the tool by pressing too hard with your hands or leaning into it. The
weight of the tool itself creates enough force to make a clean cut. Forcing the tool or applying pressure
by leaning onto it may cause the blade to twist or break, damaging the saw as well as its environment
and possibly causing injury. As you reach the end of your workpiece, finish off the cut by slightly raising
the unit slowly to bring the blade up.
Maintenance/service
•Protect the tool from impact, shock, and grease.
•Always keep tool and cord clean (especially the ventilation slots).
•Turn the tool off properly and disconnect it from its power source before cleaning.
•Do not attempt to clean ventilation slots by inserting pointed objects through openings.
