I. Safety
This machine is designed for sawing wood, wood derived materials as well as similar to be machined hard plastics only. Machining of other
materials is not permitted and may be carried out in specific cases only after consulting with the manufacturer. No metal workpieces may be
machined. The workpiece must allow to safely be loaded, supported and guided. The proper use also includes compliance with the operating
and maintenance instructions given in this manual. The machine must be operated only by persons familiar with its operation and mainte -
nance and who are familiar with its hazards. The required minimum age must be observed The machine must only be used in a technically
perfect condition When working on the machine, all safety mechanisms and covers must be mounted. In addition to the safety requirements
contained in these operating instructions and your country’s applicable regulations, you should observe the generally recognized technical
rules concerning the operation of woodworking machines. Any other use exceeds authorization. In the event of unauthorized use of the
machine, the manufacturer renounces all liability and the responsibility is transferred exclusively to the operator.
II. General Safety Notes
Woodworking machines can be dangerous if not used properly. Therefore the appropriate general technical rules as well as the following
notes must be observed. Read and understand the entire instruction manual before attempting assembly or operation. Keep this operating
instruction close by the machine, protected from dirt and humidity, and pass it over to the new owner if you part with the tool. No changes
to the machine may be made. Daily inspect the function and existence of the safety appliances before you start the machine. Do not attempt
operation in this case, protect the machine by unplugging the mains cord. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair.Before operating
the machine, remove tie, rings, watches, other jewellery, and roll up sleeves above the elbows. Wear safety shoes; never wear leisure shoes
or sandals. Always wear the approved working outfit - safety goggles - ear protection - dust protection. Do not wear gloves while operating
this machine. For the safe handling of saw blades wear work gloves.
Observe the chapter “save operation” in this manual. Control the stopping time of the machine, it may not be longer than 10 seconds. Insure
that the workpiece does not roll when cutting round pieces. Use suitable table extensions and supporting aids for difficult to handle workpiec -
es. Always lower the blade guide close to the workpiece. With the machine table is inclined use the fence and position it on the bottom side
only. Always hold and guide the workpieces safely during machining. Remove cut and jammed workpieces only when motor is turned off and
the machine is at a complete standstill. Install the machine so that there is sufficient space for safe operation and workpiece handling. Keep
work area well lighted. The machine is designed to operate in closed rooms and must be placed stable on firm and levelled ground. Make
sure that the power cord does not impede work and cause people to trip.
Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease. Stay alert! Give your work undivided attention. Use
common sense. Keep an ergonomic body position. Maintain a balanced stance at all times. Do not operate the machine when you are tired.
Do not operate the machine under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication. Be aware that medication can change your behaviour.
Keep children and visitors a safe distance from the work area. Never reach into the machine while it is operating or running down. Never leave
a running machine unattended. Before you leave the workplace switch off the machine. Do not operate the electric tool near inflammable
liquids or gases. Observe the fire fighting and fire alert options, for example the fire extinguisher operation and place. Do not use the machine
in a dump environment and do not expose it to rain. Wood dust is explosive and can also represent a risk to health. Dust form some tropical
woods in particular, and from hardwoods like beach and oak, is classified as a carcinogenic substance.
Always use a suitable dust extraction device Before machining, remove any nails and other foreign bodies from the workpiece. Use a push
block when working the ends of narrow stock. Always store the push stick or the push wood handle with the machine, also when not in use.
Specifications regarding the maximum or minimum size of the workpiece must be observed. Do not remove chips and workpiece parts until
the machine is at a complete standstill.
Do not stand on the machine. Connection and repair work on the electrical installation may be carried out by a qualified electrician only. Have
a damaged or worn cord replaced immediately. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power
source. Remove defective saw blades immediately.
Remaining hazards:
When using the machine according to regulations some remaining hazards may still exist The moving saw blade in the
work area can cause injury. Broken saw blades can cause injuries. Thrown workpieces can lead to injury Wood chips and sawdust can be
health hazards. Be sure to wear personal protection gear such as safety goggles ear- and dust protection. Use a suitable dust exhaust system.
The use of incorrect mains supply or a damaged power cord can lead to injuries caused by electricity.
Noise & Dust Emissions:
Noise:
Determined according to EN 1807 (Inspection tolerance 3 dB) Workpiece beech: T=30mm, L=1500mm, moisture 8,5%. Acoustic power
level (according to EN ISO 3746): Idling LwA 85,0 dB(A) Operating LwA 96,4 dB(A). Acoustic pressure level (EN ISO 11202): Idling LpA 72,6
dB(A) Operating LpA 83,4 dB(A). The specified values are emission levels and are not necessarily to be seen as safe operating levels. Although
there is a correlation between emission and emission levels, these do not constitute a basis for determining the necessity of additional safety
measures. Workplace conditions which could influence the noise emission level include the duration of resonance, spatial particulars, other
noise sources etc. For example, the number of machines and other work being performed. The permissible workplace levels can vary from
country to country. This information is intended to allow the user to make a better estimation of the hazards and risks involved.
Dust: The band saw has been dust emission inspected. At an air velocity of 20 m/s on the dust port dia 100mm: Vacuum pressure 1250 Pa
Volume flow 565 m³/h. The machine meets a workplace dust emission limit of 2 mg/m³.
