• Do not use nicked saw bands or those that have an al
tered form.
• Replace table inserts that have worn saw slots.
• When sawing round wood, make sure that the work piece
does not turn.
• For
sawing
heavy
or
cumbersome
pieces,
use the appropriate working aids for bracing.
(Special accessory roller stands).
• Place the upper saw band guide as closely as possible
to the work piece.
• On slanted table plates, attach the longitudinal stop on
the lower table plate half.
• Do not brake the saw band with side pressure after
switching off.
• Remove work pieces that have become stuck only with
the motor switched off and with the saw band at a stand
still.
• Cut off the external power supply of the machine even
if only minor changes of place are envisaged. Properly
reconnect the machine to the supply mains before re
commissioning.
• When leaving the work place, switch the motor off. Pull
the power supply plug.
Use only as authorized
CE tested machines meet all valid EC machine guidelines
as well as all relevant guidelines for each machine.
• All protective and safety device must be mounted on the
machine before beginning work.
• The machine is designed to be operated by one person.
The operator is responsible for all other persons in the
working area.
• Observe all safety instructions and warnings attached to
the machine.
• See to it that safety instructions and warnings attached
to the machine are always complete and perfectly leg
ible.
• The bandsaw with the supplied tools and accessories is
designed exclusively for sawing wood, material similar to
wood, and non ferrous metals and steel.
• The maximum dimensions for workpieces to be proc
essed is may not exceed the bench size in the standard
version. Clearance width: 306 mm, Clearance height:
205 mm
• For larger workpiece dimensions which require tipping
of the table top, the table extension or the dolly (special
accessories) must be used.
• The band saw can also be used for sawing metal when
it is equipped with a special saw band dolly (special
accessory) and a operated at an adapted cutting speed.
Metal allows with more than 80 % magnesium may not
be processed due to the danger of fires.
• When used in enclosed rooms, the machine must be
connected to a vacuum exhaust unit. Use the dust ex
tractor to remove matchwood or saw dust. The vacuum
support flow rate must be 20 m/s. Subatmospheric pres
sure 860 Pa.
• The automatic switching unit is available as a special
accessory.
Type ALV 2 Art. No. 7910 4010 230 V/50 Hz
Type ALV 10 Art. No. 7910 4020 400 V/230 V/50 Hz
• The vacuum exhaust unit automatically switches on af
ter a 23 second delay after the machine tool is turned
on. This avoids overloading the circuit fuse.
• After turning off the machine tool, the vacuum exhaust
unit remains on for an additional 23 seconds and is
then automatically switched off. Remaining dust is
thereby removed by vacuum exhaust, as required by
German regulations governing hazardous materials. This
results in savings in electricity consumption and reduces
noise levels, as the vacuum exhaust unit is on only dur
ing machine tool operation.
• A suction device which conforms with commercial regu
lations must be used for suction in commercial areas.
• Do not switch off or remove suction units or dust extrac
tors while the work machine is in operation.
• The machine must only be used in technically perfect
condition in accordance with its designated use and the
instructions set out in the operating manual, and only
by safetyconscious persons who are fully aware of the
risks involved in operating the machine. Any functional
disorders, especially those affecting the safety of the
machine, should therefore be rectified immediately.
• The safety, work and maintenance instructions of the
manufacturer as well as the technical data given in the
calibrations and dimensions must be adhered to.
• Relevant accident prevention regulations and other,
generally recognized safetytechnical rules must also be
adhered to.
• The machine may only be used, maintained, and operat
ed by persons familiar with it and instructed in its opera
tion and procedures. Arbitrary alterations to the machine
release the manufacturer from all responsibility for any
resulting damages.
• The machine may only be used with original acces sories
and original tools made by the manufacturer.
• Any other use exceeds authorization. The manufacturer
is not responsible for any damages resulting from unau
thorized use; risk is the sole responsibility of the opera
tor.
Set-up
Prepare the workplace where the machine is to be placed.
Insure sufficient room to allow safe work without malfunc
tions. The machine is designed to operate in closed rooms
and must be placed stabily on firm level ground. Stability
is insured by attachment to the ground with 4 screws (Fig.
14).
Transport
The machine may only be transported with suitable lifting
devices (crane or fork lift). The connection point for the
rope (crane) is on the upper band wheel cabinet.
