Safety Devices
The machine is equipped with the following safety devices:
The saw blade guard protects against accidental contact with the saw
blade and from flying chips.
In order to provide adequate protection, the upper saw blade cover
must always be placed as close as possible to the workpiece (max.
distance 3 mm).
Door safety switch: one safety switch each on the inside of the covering
of the upper and lower wood band saw roll.
Push stick
Use a push stick to prevent the hands from being too close to the saw
blade when working!
General safety instructions
To avoid malfunctions, damage and health hazards when working with the machine, the following
points must be observed in addition to the general rules for safe working:
Before start-up, check the machine for completeness and function. Only use the machine if
the guards and other non-parting guards required for machining have been fitted, are in good
operating condition and have been properly maintained.
Choose a level, vibration-free, non-slip surface for the installation location.
Ensure sufficient space around the machine!
Ensure sufficient lighting conditions at the workplace to avoid stroboscopic effects.
Ensure a clean working environment.
Only use perfect tools that are free of cracks and other defects (e.g. deformations).
Remove tool keys and other adjustment tools before switching on the machine.
Keep the area around the machine free of obstacles (e.g. dust, chips, cut parts, etc.).
Check the strength of the machine connections before each use.
Never leave the running machine unattended. Switch off the machine before leaving the
working area and secure it against unintentional or unauthorised recommissioning.
The machine may only be operated, serviced or repaired by persons who are familiar with it
and who have been informed of the hazards arising from this work.
Ensure that unauthorised persons maintain a safe distance from the machine and keep
children away from the machine.
When working on the machine, never wear loose jewellery, loose clothing, ties or long, open
hair.
Hide long hair under hair protection.
Wear close-fitting protective clothing and suitable protective equipment (eye protection, dust
mask, ear protection; gloves only when handling tools).
Work on the machine should only be carried out in well-ventilated rooms. If necessary, use
dust protection.
If there are connections for dust extraction, make sure that they are properly connected and
in working order.
Always work with care and the necessary caution and never use excessive force.
Do not overload the machine!
Shut down the machine and disconnect it from the power supply before carrying out any
adjustment, conversion, cleaning, maintenance or repair work. Before starting any work on
the machine, wait until all tools or machine parts have come to a complete standstill and
secure the machine against unintentional restarting.
Do not remove any sections or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area while the
machine is running!
Do not remove splinters and chips by hand! Use a sliding stick for this purpose!
Use a push stick for cutting operations!
Do not work on the machine if it is tired, not concentrated or under the influence of
medication, alcohol or drugs!
Do not use the machine in areas where vapours from paints, solvents or flammable liquids
represent a potential danger (danger of fire or explosion!).
Do not smoke in the immediate vicinity of the machine (fire hazard)!
