To avoid electrocution or fire, any maintenance or repair to electrical system should be done only
by qualified electricians using genuine replacement parts.
WARNING
3.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
- Electrical installation should be carried out by competent, qualified personnel.
- The mains connection should be made using the terminal box.
- Replacement of the power supply cable should only be done by a qualified electrician.

3.4 NOISE LEVEL
No load Load
Sound Pressure Level < 80dB(A) < 90dB(A)
Sound Power Level < 90dB(A) < 100dB(A)
The noise levels measured are emission levels and not necessarily the safe working level. Although there is a
correlation between the emission levels and the exposure levels, this cannot be used reliably to determine whether or
not further precautions are required. The factors which affect the actual level of operator exposure include the duration
of exposure, the ambient characteristics and other sources of emission, for example, the number of machines and
other adjacent machining. The permitted exposure values may also vary from country to country. Nevertheless, this
information allows the user of the machine to better evaluate the dangers and risks.
Other factors which reduce exposure to noise are:
- correct tool choice
- tool and machine maintenance
- use of hearing protection systems (e.g. headsets, earplugs,...)
WARNING
Please use the hearing protection systems if the above mentioned noise levels exceed 95dB(A).
3.5 DUST EXTRACTION
If this band saw is operated indoors it is recommended to have it connected to a dust collector. The suction connector,
supplied with the machine, has to be fitted to the dust ejection port of the saw for this purpose. The diameter of the
suction connector is 100mm (4”).
- Workmen working in operations processing oak or beech timber where found to develop more often cancer of the
mucous membrane of the nose (adenocarciome of the inner nose) then other workers.
- Experience shows that skin contact with oak or beech dust does not cause cancer
Wood dust and chips, together with an ignition source and the oxygen in the ambient air, can
cause fires and explosions, injuries and allergies.
