Safe Working Practices
Whenever possible, a push stick or a comparable aid must be used to feed the workpiece. It is essential to
avoid working with the hands near the saw blade.
When cutting narrow workpieces, generally use a push stick.
Use aids such as auxiliary fence and push handle for concealed cuts.
Use an aluminium profile rail with a narrow contact edge for cutting narrow and low laths.
Always work with all protective devices! These must be in the intended places and in perfect working or-
der. Defective guards must be replaced immediately.
Damaged table inserts are to be replaced with new ones.
Regular maintenance and cleaning of bandsaw blades, extraction system, etc. is required to reduce noise.
Refit removed guards in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Never clean the bandsaw blade or bandsaw wheels with a hand-held brush or scraper while the bandsaw
blade is in motion.
Do not start cutting until the bandsaw blade has reached full speed.
Do not use damaged bandsaw blades.
Check the bandsaw blade regularly for damage.
Replace damaged bandsaw blades immediately.
Only use bandsaw blades suitable for the operation and the material to be processed.
Do not exceed the permissible speed of the bandsaw blade.
Do not use damaged tools.
Damaged parts must be replaced with new ones.
Repairs may only be carried out by qualified personnel with the main switch locked.
The machine is equipped with an automatic motor brake. If the brake no longer brakes within the pre-
scribed braking time (10 s) despite readjustment, the customer service must be informed.

Safety Equipment
The machine is equipped with the following necessary safety devices:
•
Complete protection of the saw blade along its entire length.
•
The saw blade guard is electromotive height-adjustable and covers the saw blade from all four sides, pre-
venting hands from entering the danger zone.
•
For safety reasons, the electromotive height adjustment is done via a two-hand control.
•
The toothed rack for the height adjustment of the blade guard has a clutch that prevents it from falling
down during adjustment.
•
In addition, the height adjustment is protected by mechanical limit switches to prevent it from moving be-
yond the defined range.
•
When the doors / guards are opened, the power supply to the motor is automatically interrupted.
•
Additional safety switches prevent unintentional opening of the doors. In order to be able to open the doors
during a belt or wheel change, the safety switches must first be manually unlocked (see section
•
The bandsaw guide is equipped with a transparent protective cover to ensure a clear view of the cutting
area for the operating personnel. At the same time it partly serves as splinter protection.
•
The standard version of the bandsaw machine is equipped with an automatic motor brake that brings the
saw blade to a standstill within 10 seconds in the event of a power interruption.
•
The blade tension indicator shows the correct tension of the blade in relation to its width.
•
The machine is equipped with an emergency stop button on both control panels.
5.2.6
Noise
Certain instructions must be followed to avoid an increase in the noise level:
•
Sawdust falling between the wheel and the saw blade can cause vibrations that can increase the noise level.
•
Only original saw blades with a correct and clean weld must be used.
•
The saw blade must be correctly adjusted for the intended work and suitable for the material.
•
The instructions for the wheel surfaces (see section
17.2) and the saw blade (see section
17.5) must
be followed to keep the parts in good condition and reduce the noise level.
