Sad to say my Lidl bandsaw has become a casualty. For no apparent reason the band blade is either jumping out the guide bearings or coming off the wheels whenever it starts cutting, I have replaced the blade into the guides and back on the wheels but it jumps out or off as I start a cut.
I have hardly used the thing so initiated a warranty claim to see what happens ☹️

Lidl are usually very good with their warranty's, when I have had problems I have found them to be very good, so good luck, let us know how you get on

I had a bit of a similar problem, but overcame it with a clean and tightening/adjusting everything as be instructions. the original blade finally broke and have replaced it with a "Milwaukee Band Saw Blades For - HD18BS - M18CBS125 - M12BS" bought a pack of three off ebay for £24.95 and they sent 3 x packs of 3, so wont need to buy any more for probably my lifetime.

Well by bandsaw went to Schepach and came back a different model! The replacement is PMB 1100 B2 the original was PMB 1100 a3. This one is pretty similar however cable exits on top rather than through handle and some nasty screws have been changed for cap heads. The old one was sent back bare this one turned up with a new base thoughtfully dented by the courier so I have a useless spare base that is likely to get turned into useful bits😀
