Check the following things before using the machine
• does the voltage of the machine correspond with the mains
voltage (230 or 400 V);
• an earthed mains connection (wall socket) needs to be
used;
• are the mains lead and the mains plug in a good condition:
solid, without any loose ends or damage;
• see if the sawband does not miss any tooth or if it is torn or
cracked. This sawband has to be replaced immediately;
• is the bandsaw sufficiently tightened;
• check the voltage of the bandsaw again after first time
sawing with a new bandsaw.
• Read and understand the entire instruction manual before
operating machine.
• Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using
this machine.
• Make certain the machine is properly grounded.
• Before operating the machine, remove tie, rings, watches,
other jewelry, and role up sleeves above the elbows. Remove
all loose clothing and confine long hair. Do not wear gloves.
• Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap
material, oil and grease.
• Keep machine guards in place at all times when the machine is
in use. If removed for maintenance purposes, use extreme
caution and replace the guards immediately.
• Do not over reach. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so
that you do not fall or lean against blades or other moving parts.
• Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the
machine unplugged from the power source.
• Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or attachment to do a job
which it was not designed for.
• Make certain the motor switch is in the offposition before
connecting the machine to the power supply.
• Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying
on a conversation, and “horse-play” are careless acts that can
result in serious injury.
• Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area.
• Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be
hazardous.
• Make a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed before turning on the machine.
• Always keep hands and fingers away from the blade when the
machine is running.
• Never hold the material with the saw in the horizontal position.
Always use the vise and clamp it securely.
• Read and understand warnings posted on the machine.
• Keep the belt guard and wheel covers in place and in working
order.
• Always provide adequate support for long and heavy material.
• Use a sharp blade and keep machine clean for best and safest
performance.
• This machine is only used for horizontal metal cutting, not
vertical woodworking cutting.
• Failure to comply with all of these warnings may cause serious
injury.
• The band saw machine must be firmly positioned with all four
legs on a flat, even surface.
• Never apply lateral pressure to the saw band. This can cause it
to break.
• Be careful when working with irregularly shaped, harder metal
workpieces.
Sawing of these workpieces can lead to jamming of the
machine.
• Never leave the saw machine unattended when in operation.
• The saw band moves on the workpiece from left to right. The
teeth of the saw band must be pointing to the right.
• Close all the screening caps in the correct way.
• Position the saw arm before you begin sawing.
• Position the saw band guide in the correct place before you
begin sawing and fasten it properly. This ensures an accurate
sawing method.
• Adjust the sawing speed before you connect the saw machine
to the 230/400 Volt mains.
• Stop the machine before you place a workpiece in the
workpiece clamp.
• Check the level of the cooling fluid regularly. The saw band can
