ʵ Before use, carefully check the tool and mains cable to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual.
Have any damaged or defective switches replaced by an authorised service center. Do not
use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Never attempt any repairs yourself.

WARNING: The use of any accessory or attachment or performance of any operation
with this tool other than those recommended in this instruction manual may present a
risk of personal injury.
21 . Have your tool repaired by a qualified person.
ʵ This electric tool complies relevant safety rules. Repairs should only be carried out by
qualified persons using original spare parts; otherwise this may result in considerable
danger to the user.

Additional Safety Instructions for Bandsaws

• Before work checks that the machine is placed on an even surface with sufficient stability.
• In case of an accident or machine failure immediately switch the machine off and disconnect
from the power source.
• Report the failure and mark the machine in suitable form to prevent other people from using
the defective machine.
• When the bandsaw blade is blocked caused by abnormal feed force during cutting, switch
the machine off and disconnect from power supply. Remove the workpiece and ensure that
the bandsaw blade runs free. Switch the machine on and start new cutting operation with
reduced feed force.
• Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the work piece from the cutting area
whilst the machine is running.
• Provide adequate general or localized lighting
• Ensure the operator is adequately trained in use, adjustment and operation of the machine.
• Switch the machine off when unattended.
• Connect the band saw to a dust collection when sawing wood. Always consider factors
influencing exposure of dust such as:
ʵ Type of material to be machined (Chip board produces more dust than wood).
ʵ Correct adjustment of bandsaw blade.
ʵ Ensure that the local extraction as well as hoods, baffles and chutes are properly adjusted.
ʵ Dust extractor with air velocity not less than 20 m/s.
• All time wear suitable personal protective equipment as:
ʵ Hearing protection to reduce the risk of induced hearing loss.
ʵ Respiratory protection to produce the risk of inhalation of harmful dust.
ʵ Gloves for handling the bandsaw blade and rough material.
• When straight cutting against rip fence use the push stick.
• Always place the guide (rip fence) on the lower side of the table when cutting with the
table inclined.
• When cutting round material use a suitable holding device to prevent twisting of
the workpiece.
• Before starting operation check correct adjustment and functionality of the band saw guards.
• Workpiece sizes
ʵ Never cut workpiece smaller than 20 mm.
ʵ Without additional support the machine is designed to accept the maximum workpiece
size of:
ʵ Height 150 mm by width 230 mm by length 700 mm.
ʵ Longer workpiece needs to be supported by suitable additional table.
• Keep other persons away from the work area. Do not allow children, visitors or animals to
come near the work area or to touch the tool or mains cable.
• Use appropriate tool. The intended use is described in this instruction. Do not force the tool. It
does the job better and safer at the rate for which it is intended.
• This machine is not designed for serial or con conveyor belt production.
• Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Always use safety glasses. Use a face dust mask if working operations create dust or flying
particle. If these particles might be considerable hot, also wear a heat-resistant apron. Wear
ear protection and safety helmet at all times
• Select the correct bandsaw blade for the different type of speed settings and the material to
be cut.
• Observe the maximum speed marked on the bandsaw blade packaging.
• Do not use bandsaw blades that do not conform to the dimensions stated in the
technical data.
• Do not use deformed or damaged bandsaw blades.
• When performing bevel cuts, ensure that the rip fence is fixed on the lower side of the table.
• Keep the push stick in its place when nut in use.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Never clean the machine whilst the saw band is in motion.
Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of these saws:
• injuries caused by touching the rotating parts
• injuries caused by disruption of the saw blade
16
These risks are most evident:
• within the range of operation
• within the range of the rotating machine parts
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the
implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided.
These are:
• Impairment of hearing.
• Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating saw blade.
• Risk of injury when changing the blade.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when opening the guards.
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when sawing wood, especially oak
and beech.
The following factors are of influence to noise production:
• The material to be cut
• The support of the material
• The saw bend tension
• The type of bandsaw blade
• The feed force
• Correct adjustment and regular maintenance of the guards.
• Regular maintenance of the pulleys and the lubrication system.

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current device with a residual current
rating of 30mA or less.

Electrical Safety

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the power
supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord available
through the D WALT service organisation.
