▶ Use extra caution when sawing into walls or other blind areas. As it enters the material
the blade might encounter a hidden obstruction, resulting in kickback.
▶ Take frequent breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in
your fingers. High vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the
blood vessels and nervous system in the fingers, hands and wrists.
▶ Do not look directly into the light source (LED) of the product and do not aim the beam
at other persons' faces. Risk of dazzling or eye damage.
▶ Before starting the cut, check that the bandsaw blade is correctly installed. An
incorrectly installed bandsaw blade can bind and cause a kickback.
▶ Risk of injury by falling tools and/or accessories. Before starting work, check that the
battery and installed accessories are secure.
Electrical safety
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas
and water pipes. External metal parts of the product could give you an electric shock
or cause an explosion if you accidentally damage an electric cable or a gas or water
pipe.
▶ When cutting through pipes, e.g. when carrying out demolition or installation work,
check to ensure that the pipes no longer contain liquids and empty them if necessary.
When cutting through pipes, hold the product above the level of the pipe you are
cutting through. The product is not protected against ingress of moisture.
Power tool use and care
▶ Use only bandsaw blades of the specified size.
▶ Do not use dull or damaged bandsaw blades. They cause higher friction, binding or
kickback of the bandsaw blade.
▶ Comply with the manufacturer's instructions for handling and storing bandsaw blades.

Careful handling and use of batteries
▶ Comply with the following safety instructions for the safe handling and use of
Li-ion batteries. Failure to comply can lead to skin irritation, severe corrosive injury,
chemical burns, fire and/or explosion.
▶ Use only batteries that are in perfect working order.
▶ Treat batteries with care in order to avoid damage and prevent leakage of fluids that
are extremely harmful to health!
▶ Do not under any circumstances modify or tamper with batteries!
▶ Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to
temperatures over 80 °C (176 °F).
▶ Never use or charge a battery that has suffered an impact or been damaged in any
other way. Check your batteries regularly for signs of damage.
▶ Never use recycled or repaired batteries.
▶ Never use the battery or a battery-operated power tool as a striking tool.
▶ Never expose batteries to the direct rays of the sun, elevated temperature, sparking,
or open flame. This can lead to explosions.
▶ Do not touch the battery poles with your fingers, tools, jewelry, or other electrically
conductive objects. This can damage the battery and also cause material damage
and personal injury.
▶ Keep batteries away from rain, moisture and liquids. Penetrating moisture can cause
short circuits, electric shock, burns, fire and explosions.
▶ Use only chargers and power tools approved for the specific battery type. Read and
follow the relevant operating instructions.
▶ Do not use or store the battery in explosive environments.
