WARNING!
Extremely severe injuries. It is forbidden to make any modifications or alternations to the
operation values of the metal belt saw! They could endanger the staff and cause damage
to the metal belt saw.
1.4
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
Any other use other than that specified under "Intended use" or any use beyond the described
use shall be deemed as non-intended use and is not permissible.
Any other use has to be discussed with the manufacturer.
In order to avoid misuse, it is necessary to read and understand the operating instructions
before first commissioning. Operators must be qualified.
1.4.1 Avoiding misuse
The metal belt saw is built according to the standard DIN EN 55011 class C2. The class C2
(machine tools) is not intended to be used in residential facilities, where the power is sup-
plied via a public low voltage supply system. In these areas it may possibly be difficult to
guarantee electromagnetic compatibility due to lead bound as well as emitted interferences.
Use the correct metal band saw blades, tooth pitch, depending on the material to be sawed.
Correct belt speed and feed rate of the to be sawed material.
Clamp the workpiece firmly and free of vibration.
Long workpieces must be propped up. Use a suitable support.
1.5
Possible dangers caused by the metal belt saw
The metal belt saw has been tested for operational safety. The construction and type are state
of the art.
Nevertheless, there is a residual risk as the metal belt saw operates with
electrical voltage and currents,
an revolting saw band.
We have used construction resources and safety techniques to minimize the health risk to per-
sonnel resulting from these hazards.
If the metal belt saw is used and maintained by personnel who are not duly qualified, there may
be a risk resulting from incorrect or unsuitable maintenance of the metal belt saw.
INFORMATION
Everyone involved in the assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance must
be duly qualified,
and strictly follow these operating instructions.
In the event of improper use
there may be a risk to personnel,
the metal belt saw and further property might be endangered,
the correct function of the metal belt saw may be affected.
Always disconnect the metal belt saw from the electrical power supply when performing clean-
ing or maintenance works.
WARNING!
The metal belt saw may only be used with the safety devices activated.
Disconnect the metal belt saw immediately whenever you detect a failure in the safety
devices or when they are not mounted!
All additional devices installed by the operator have to be equipped with the prescribed
safety devices. This is your responsibility being the operating company!
