GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term
“power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
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.
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.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
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 influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off -position
before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and
clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
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.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/ or remove the battery pack, if
detachable, 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.
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.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into
2 Original Instructions
account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
BAND SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Firmly clamp or bolt the product to a work bench or leg stand at approximately
hip height.
Never operate the product on the floor. Avoid awkward operations and hand
positions where
a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the blade. Always make sure
you have good balance.
Allow the motor to come up to full speed before starting a cut to avoid
binding or stalling.
Do not use the product if the switch does not turn it on and off. Have
defective switches replaced by an authorised service centre.
All repairs, whether electrical or mechanical, should be made by a qualified
service technician at an authorised service centre.
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts
may create a hazard or cause product damage.
Keep hands away from cutting area. Do not hand hold pieces so small that your
fingers go under the blade guard. Do not reach underneath work or in the blade
cutting path with your hands and fingers for any reason.
Never cut more than one piece at a time or stack more than one workpiece on
the saw table at a time.
Do not feed the material too quickly. Do not force the workpiece against the
blade.
Use only correct blades. Use the right blade size and style for the material
and the type of cut. Blade teeth should point down toward the table.
Always support large workpieces while cutting to minimise the risk of blade
pinching and kickback. The product may slip or slide while cutting large or
heavy boards.
Do not remove jammed cutoff pieces until the blade has stopped.
Never touch blade or other moving parts during use. Before changing the setup
and removing covers, guards
or blades, unplug the product from the power source.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the saw table. To avoid accidental blade
contact, minimise blade
breakage, and provide maximum blade support, always adjust the blade guide
assembly to just clear the workpiece.
Keep blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient set. Sharp blades minimise
stalling and kickbacks.
Always turn off saw before disconnecting it to avoid accidental starting when
reconnecting to a power source.
Make sure the work area has ample lighting to see the work and that no
obstructions will interfere with safe operation before performing any work
using the product.
The blade guides have been preset at the factory. These settings are
functional for some applications.
We recommend that you check and adjust blade guide settings before first use
of the product. Refer to adjusting the thrust bearing, blade guide and blade
guide support procedures explained in this operator’s manual.
Do not use the product to cut metal. If the power supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced
only by the manufacturer or by an authorised service centre to avoid risk.
Do not use saw bands which are damaged or deformed. Replace the table insert
when worn. Connect the product to a dust collecting device when
sawing wood.
Do not operate the product when the guard protecting the saw band is open.
Select the saw band and the speed depending on the material to be cut.
Do not clean the saw band whilst it is in motion. Wear gloves when handling
the saw band and rough
material.
Use a push stick when straight cutting small work pieces using the fence.
Transport the product with the band guard fully down and close to the table.
Place the fence on the lower side of the table when bevel-cutting with the
table inclined.
Use a suitable holding device when cutting round or irregular shaped timber to
prevent twisting of the work piece.
Do not use guards for handling or transportation. Adjust the adjustable guard
as close to the work piece
as practicable.
Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) when cutting large,
small, or awkward workpieces.
Even when the product is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate
all residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise and the operator
should pay special attention to avoid them: Damage to lungs if an effective
dust mask is not worn. Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is
not worn. Damages to health resulting from vibration emission if the product
is used over longer periods of time, and is not adequately managed or properly
maintained.
It is recommended that the product always be supplied via a residual current
device having a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct
other users. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.

3
edges of the flat end of the wrench.
4. Remove the blade tension adjustment
wrench.
5. Close the upper front cover. Tighten the
upper front cover lock knob.
Sound becomes higher pitched as tension increases. Never increase blade tension so tight as to completely compress the spring. When completely compressed, the spring can no longer act as a shock absorber.
Too much tension may cause the blade to
break. Thicker workpieces require higher tension; maximum tension is not needed
4
for all cuts. Too little tension may cause the
blade to slip on the wheels.

NOISE LEVEL
WARNING! The declared noise emission value(s) have been measured in accordance
with a standard test method, and may be used for comparing one tool with
another.
The declared noise value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
The noise emissions during actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared values depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially
what kind of workpiece is processed.
Identify safety measures to protect the operator based on an estimation of
exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is
running idle in addition to the trigger time).
Wear hearing protection. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
