2 Safety
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.
2.1 Intended use
Attention!: Any use outside of the machine‘s intended purpose shall be considered improper and is there-
fore not permitted. All claims regarding damage resulting from improper use that are made against the
manufacturer and its authorised representatives shall be rejected. The operator shall be solely liable for
any damage that results from improper use of the machine.
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.
2.2 Manual contents
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 prerequisite for protecting
personnel from hazards and avoiding 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.
2.3 Making changes and modifications to the machine
In order to minimise risks and to ensure optimal perfor-
mance, it is strictly prohibited to alter, retrofit or modify
the machine in any way without the express consent of
the manufacturer. All the pictograms, signs and labels af-
fixed to the machine must be kept visible, readable and
may not be removed. Pictograms, signs and labels that
have become damaged or unreadable must be replaced
promptly.
The machine described in this manual is intended solely
for processing wood and similar machinable materials.
The machine should only be used to cut wood and wood-
like panels. Operational safety is guaranteed only when
the machine is used for the intended purposes.
