Safety
The bandsaws are solely for the use of sawing wood and
other similar machinable materials.
This includes all wood based panel material (e.g. Chip-
board, OSB panels, MDF, Plywood etc.), even if they are
laminated or edged with plastic or a light metal. Other
materials are cardboard, cork, bone and all rigid plastics
(thermoset plastics and thermo plastics) as long as whilst
machining them it does not lead to any risks from dust,
chips or thermal degradation products.
This information can be taken from the relevant safety
sheets
The term “proper use” also refers to correctly observing
the operating conditions as well as the specifications and
instructions in this manual.
The machine may only be operated with parts and
original accessories from the manufacturer.
Attention! Risk of material damage!
Machining materials other than wood is only permitted with the express written consent of the manufacturer.
Operational safety is guaranteed only when the machine is used for the intended purposes.
At the time of its development and production, the
machine was built in accordance with prevailing
technological regulations and therefore conforms to
industry safety standards.
However, hazards may arise should the machine be
operated by untrained personnel, used improperly or em-
ployed for purposes other than those it was designed for.
The chapter entitled “Safety” offers an overview of all
the important safety considerations necessary to optimise
safety and ensure the safe and trouble-free operation of
the machine.
To further minimise risks, the other chapters of this
manual contain specific safety instructions, all marked
with symbols. Besides the various instructions, there are
a number of pictograms, signs and labels affixed to the
machine that must also be heeded. These must be kept
visible and must not be removed.
All those appointed to work on or with the machine must
have fully read and understood the manual before
commencing any work. This requirement must be met
even if the appointed person is familiar with the
operation of such a machine or a similar one, or has
been trained by the manufacturer.
Knowledge about the contents of this manual is a prere-
quisite for protecting personnel from hazards and avoi-
ding mistakes so that the machine may be operated in
a safe and trouble- free manner. It is recommended that
the operator requests proof from the personnel that the
contents of the manual have been read and understood.
Attention! Any use outside of the machine‘s intended purpose shall be considered improper and is therefore
not permitted. All claims regarding damage resulting from improper use that are made against the manufactu-
rer and its authorised representatives shall be rejected. The operator shall be solely liable for any damage that
results from improper use of the machine.
