Initial start-up
Caution!
Voltage!
Installation work is only allowed
to be carried out by authorised
specialist personnel.
Only connect the saw to the
mains when it is switched off!
Caution!
Tripping hazard!
We recommend that the lines are led
away upwards.
Lines that run along the floor can be
a tripping hazard for the operator!
Warning!
Wear eye protection or protective
goggles and safety shoes when working!
When the saw is not in use, place it in such a way
that there is no accidental contact with the sharp
saw blade.
This can lead to injuries.
5.1.1
Spring balancer
The machine must always be operated in combination with a weight
relief device (spring balancer),
see Fig. 5.1 and 5.2
.
The spring balancer is secured with a safety chain (2),
see Fig. 5.3
Fine-tuning of the spring balancer
. This must be secured in a fixed
position independent of the suspension of the spring balancer.
Use a trolley to attach the spring balancer to a higher element above
the workplace or to the ceiling.
Danger!
Do not come into
contact with the sharp
saw blade.
Danger!
Due to the weight, there
could be a hazard due to
the machine slipping or falling when the weight
relief device is attached or detached.
Also make sure that the machine does not jam either on the snap hook
or on the hook of the reciprocating saw.
Be careful!
Danger!
When hooking in the cable of the spring balancer,
the spring loaded rope can whip around if the snap
hook is not properly hooked.
Please note that if the rope rebounds when
unloaded, it is very dangerous for people. The
spring will also be irreparably damaged. The
maximum load specified on the nameplate must not
be exceeded.
