Specific safety rules
Operation information:
-
Ensure that the machine is switched off when you connect it to the mains.
-
Ensure that you stand in an unobstructed and non-slip area with adequate lighting.
-
Prior to switching the machine on, check to ensure that the saw band is properly tensioned and that the
protective covers are in place.
-
Always pull out the power plug before you change tools, make adjustments, or eliminate malfunctions (this
also includes removing trapped chips).
-
Never work on workpieces that are too small or too large for the machine capacity.
-
Always secure the workpiece against slipping away. Use clamps, for example.
-
Remove the protective covers of the machine only for changing tools. Never work without protective covers!
-
Do not start cutting the workpiece before the saw band has reached its full rotational speed.
-
Check the workpiece for foreign bodies. Do not saw into metal parts, such as nails.
-
During the sawing process, always ensure that the connecting cable runs away from the machine towards
the rear.
-
Adjust the sawing feed rate to the material thickness. Advancing too quickly will overload the motor, results
in improper saw cuts, and causes the saw band to be blunt more quickly.
-
During the drilling process, never reach in front of or underneath the workpiece (risk of injury!).
-
Never apply lateral counterpressure to the saw band to slow it down.
-
Do not remove the machine from the workpiece before the saw band has stopped.
-
Never reach into the chip ejector or saw band while the machine is running.
-
Use only saw bands with the characteristic data specified in these operating instructions.
-
Keep the area under the workpiece free of obstacles. At the same time, pay attention to the machine’s
pivoting range.
-
Before starting to saw, pay attention that there are no persons or objects in the surroundings of the saw.
-
As the operator, pay attention to the second person during two-man operation. Interrupt the sawing process
if you note any malpractice.
-
As the second person, always pay attention to the main operator. Leave the saw intake area if you observe
any malpractice of the main operator. Pull out the mains plug.
-
Avoid touching the saw band after a sawing process. The saw band can be hot.
