0.2. Scope of Use / Use acc. to Specification
The machine is exclusively intended for cutting of metals. Any other use is
considered as not conforming to regulations. The manufacturer shall not be
liable for the damages due to non-observance of these instructions. It is the
user himself that takes the risk. The use according to regulations also inclu-
des the observance of this instruction manual and the check and mainte-
nance conditions.
Examples of cutting materials: structural steel • carburizing steel • nitri-
ding steel • free-cutting steel • quenched and tempered steel • antifriction
bearing steel • spring steel • tool steel • high-speed steel • cast steel • cast
iron • copper • brass • aluminium • plastics
The recommendations for use should be considered as guide values.
Specific cases should be consulted with the manufacturer.
0.3. Requirements Concerning Operators
The machine may be operated only by persons instructed in safety at
work and technically trained!
The machine may only be operated if in perfect condition with regard to
technical safety. The user is obliged to check the machine for visually
ascertainable damages and failures at least once per shift. Any changes, fai-
lures and damages of protective enclosures and changes of the machine
behavior endangering the safety should be immediately reported to the
superior. No protective enclosures may be removed, moved, put out of ope-
ration or changed. Otherwise, the guarantee claims have no effect. If any
protective enclosure has to be removed during operation or maintenance,
secure the master switch in the "OFF" position by a padlock or disconnect
the band saw from mains and secure it against restarting.
Only persons qualified for electrotechnical trade are allowed to
open the electrical equipment enclosures and work on the
electrical equipment.
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing; tie back long hair or wear suitable head-
wear during work to prevent any chance of entanglement.
• Make sure that other persons are at least at a distance of 5 m from the
band saw, and protect them from air-borne swarf and the danger of saw
blade break.
• All persons present at the site must be made familiar with all safety rules;
• The safety rules must be provided on a visible place at the site;.
• Keep hands in safe distance off the saw blade; never adjust a saw blade
when the motor is running. Switch off the motor to secure it against res-
tarting before you start handling the saw blade.
0.4. Requirements Concerning Machine - Protective
Enclosures
CAUTION - DANGER OF INJURY!
The saw blade has no enclosure in the working zone!
Danger in saw blade working zone!
Wait until the saw blade is at standstill before opening protective
enclosures!
Never use the band saw when you are tired, exhausted, under the influ-
ence of medicaments, drugs or alcohol!
The horizontal band saw is a machine tool equipped with a saw blade. For
machining the saw blade teeth must penetrate into the workpiece in the
working zone. The enclosures protecting against contact with the saw
blade may therefore be installed only outside the cutting zone. Machine
can be unattended only in case, that arm is in down position and Moving
Guide Bar is maximally extended.
0.5. Protective Enclosures
The saw blade and the saw blade wheels are protected against contact out-
side the working zone. The protective enclosures may only be removed
when the master switch is off and secured against switching on or when the
machine is disconnected from mains and the saw blade is at standstill. All
enclosures must be closed before the operator leaves the machine. The saw
blade enclosure, which protects the moving wheels and the saw blade, is
secured by a limit switch. If the enclosure is not completely closed, no
machine drive will be started.
In case of emergency, the machine is switched off by the
TOTAL STOP
button. A restarting is only possible, when the push button is unlocked. The
fixed and moving guide head bars are provided with protective enclosures
protecting the saw blade outside the machining zone.
It is not allowed to clean and remove waste while the machine is
running. A first-aid kit must be available at the workplace. Wear
appropriate working clothes, work shoes and protection (goggles, ear
plugs, gloves, steel-toe work shoes). Observe valid hygienic rules con-
cerning the air space at the workplace.
