INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing a Full Boar Bandsaw.
Your Full Boar Bandsaw FBBS-750 has been designed for
cutting wood and wood composition products. It can be used
for curve cuts and straight line cutting operations such as
cross cutting, ripping, bevelling and compound cutting.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including the
following, should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury
and material damage.
Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool off in an emergency,
before operating the tool. Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for
future reference. The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for damage or accidents which arise
due to a failure to follow these instructions and the safety information.
This product has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V is interchangeable for Australia and New Zealand.
The power supply for this product should be protected by a residual current device (rated at 30mA or
less). A residual current device reduces the risk of electric shock.
If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord
available through the service organization.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this
tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical
insulation failure
within the tool.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool. Before use, inspect
the extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension lead if damaged or
defective.
When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension lead
not suitable for the power input of the tool or which is damaged or defective may result in a risk of fire
and electric shock.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the
warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. 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.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
4. Power tool use and care
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d. 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.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding 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.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance 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.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR BANDSAWS
This appliance is not intended for use by young or infirm persons unless supervised
by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely. Young
children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Recommendations for the use of a residual current device with a rated residual
current of 30mA or less.
• Do not use saw bands that are damaged or worn.
• When cutting round timber use a suitable device to prevent twisting of the workpiece.
• When bevel-cutting with the table inclined, place the guide on the lower part of the
table.
• Connect the bandsaw to a dust collection device when operating.
• Do not operate the machine when the door or guard protecting the band is not closed.
• Adjust the blade guard as close as possible to the workpiece to be cut.
• Take care that the selection of the saw band and the speed depends on the material to
be cut.
• Do not touch moving parts with your fingers or hands.
• Ensure that you have tensioned the blade prior to starting the machine.
• Do not touch the saw blade immediately after use. Allow time for the blade to cool,
otherwise it could burn you due to the heat generated during sawing.
• Always check accessories to ensure that they are suitable for the operating speeds of
this tool.
• Incorrect accessories can break apart at high speed and cause serious damage or
personal injury.
• Never turn your bandsaw on before clearing the table of all objects (tools, scraps of
wood, etc.) except for the workpiece.
• Hold the work firmly against the table.
• Do not feed the material too fast while cutting. Only feed the material fast enough so
that the blade will cut.
• Never leave the bandsaw running unattended. Always turn the saw off, make sure that
it has come to a complete stop, and then remove plug from the power supply before
leaving the work area.
