WARNING

• The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
• The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for diff erent applications, with diff erent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may diff er. This may signifi cantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
• An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
• Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eff ects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.

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, fi re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

BAND SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a „live“ wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool „live“ and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Always place the guide shoe on the workpiece when sawing.
• Do not start the blade when in contact with workpiece. Wait for blade to reach full speed before beginning cut.
• When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the cutter motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never restart the machine when the blade in contact with workpiece.
• Do not use cracked or distorted saw blades.

• Do not machine any materials that present a danger to health (e.g. asbestos).
• Switch the device off immediately if the insertion tool stalls! Do not switch the device on again while the insertion tool is stalled, as doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force.
• Determine why the insertion tool stalled and rectify this, paying heed to the safety instructions.

The possible causes may be

• it is tilted in the workpiece to be machined
• it has pierced through the material to be machined
• the power tool is overloaded
• Do not reach into the machine while it is running.
