 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. Car-

rying power tools with your finger on the switch or energis-

ing 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 ro-

tating 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 jewel-

lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves 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 ex-

traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-

nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-

duce dust-related hazards.

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 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.

 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. Check for misalignment or bind-

ing 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 ac-

cordance with these instructions, taking into 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.

Battery tool use and care

 Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-

facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery

pack may create a risk of fire when used with another bat-

tery pack.

 Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-

tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a

risk of injury and fire.

 When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from oth-

er metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,

screws or other small metal objects, that can make a

connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the

battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

 Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-

curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-

ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery

may cause irritation or burns.

Service

 Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-

son using only identical replacement parts. This will en-

sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Warnings for Band Saws

 Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when

performing an operation where the cutting accessory

may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessories contact-

ing a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the pow-

er tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

 Use clamps or another practical way to secure and sup-

port the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the

work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable

and may lead to loss of control.

 Keep your hands away from the sawing area. Do not

reach below the workpiece. Danger of injury in case of

contact with the band-saw blade.

 Apply the machine to the workpiece only when

switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback when

the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.

 After finishing the working procedure, switch the ma-

chine off, wait until the saw blade comes to a complete

stop and then remove the band-saw blade from the cut.

In this manner, kickback is prevented and the machine can

be placed down securely.

 Use only undamaged band-saw blades that are in per-

fect condition. Bent or dull band-saw blades can break or

lead to kickback.

 Keep lubricants or oil away from the band-saw blade.

Completely wipe off excess oil before cutting. Other-

wise, the band-saw blade can slip.

 Do not apply strong pressure to the band-saw blade

during operation. Excessive pressure can cause the

band-saw blade to slip or break. Danger of injury.

 After switching off, do not stop the band-saw blade by

applying lateral pressure to it. The band-saw blade can

become damaged, break or lead to kickback.

 Do not touch the band-saw blade directly after the

working process until after it has cooled down. The

band-saw blade becomes very hot while working.

 When working with the machine, always hold it firmly

with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The

power tool is guided more secure with both hands.

 Always wait until the machine has come to a complete

stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and

lead to loss of control over the power tool.
