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 di|erent applications, with different accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. This may significantly 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 significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the e|ects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm, and organization of work patterns.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

THE BAND SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. 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 the workpiece. Wait for the blade to reach full speed before the beginning to cut.
When the 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 is in contact with the workpiece.
Do not use cracked or distorted saw blades.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS

Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when working with the machine. The use of protective clothing is recommended, such as dust masks, protective gloves, sturdy non-slip footwear, helmet, and ear defenders.
DANGER: Keep hands away from the cutting area and the blade. Whenever possible keep your second hand on the upper part of the housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across your leg while cutting. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health. Do not inhale the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
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.
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.

The insertion tool may become hot during use.
