2 Safety Instructions
2.1 General safety precautions
Be sure to observe the following safety precau-
tions when working with the belt saw.
Risk of injury!
When in operation, never reach
into the area of the saw belt!
Improper use of the unit can
lead to parts being damaged!
Only use original spare parts
from EFA to guarantee the unit
functions perfectly!
Wear the recommended per-
sonal protective equipment!
Changing the belt as well as installation,
maintenance and repair work may only be
carried out when the machine is discon-
nected from the mains!
Operation presupposes that the operating
personnel has sufficient knowledge on the
use of the unit.
Expert training is provided by Schmid &
Wezel.
Installation, maintenance and repair work
may only be carried out by authorised and
qualified personnel.
Select personal protection equipment ac-
cording to the regulations applicable on the
premises and to the accident prevention reg-
ulations in force.
The machine is equipped with a two-hand
safety circuit.
2.2 Behaviour at the place of
work
Keep your place of work tidy. Untidiness can
lead to accidents.
Take environmental influences into account.
Ensure good lighting (min. 500 lux).
Keep other people away from your place of
work. Work in a concentrated and sensible
manner. Do not use the belt saw when you
are unconcentrated and/or tired.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery as
these could become tangled up in moving
parts. Wear solid shoes when working. Wear
a hair net as a general rule!
Avoid abnormal body postures. Ensure a
safe working position and keep your balance
at all times.
Keep the belt saw in a safe place. Store the
unit in a dry place when not in use.
Use only original EFA accessories. Use of
other accessories will void the warranty. Fur-
thermore, use of other tools or accessories
may also be potentially injurious.
Do not leave wrenches on the machine.
Check that all wrenches have been removed
before starting the machine.
