Behaviour At The Place Of Work; Commissioning And Operational Safety; Initial Operation; Spring Balancer - EFA 85 Betriebsanleitung

Installation, maintenance and repair work may
only be carried out by authorised and qualified
personnel
Breaking saws from S&W conform to the rele-
vant safety regulations

2.2 Behaviour at the place of work

Keep your place of work tidy. Untidiness can
lead to accidents.
Give consideration to environmental influences.
Ensure good lighting (min. 500 lux).
Protect yourself against electric shock. Plug
sockets must be protected by a residual-current
circuit breaker.
Keep other people away from your place of
work. Work in a concentrated and sensible man-
ner. Do not use the breaking saw when you are
unconcentrated and/or tired.
Store the breaking saw in a safe place. Store the
breaking saw in a dry place when not in use.
Work clothing: 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.
Service your tools with care. Use only sharp and
undamaged saw blades so that you can work
better and safer.
Use only original EFA saw blades. Follow the
instructions given under "Changing the saw
blade" (see Chapter 4.1 "Changing the saw
blade" (p. 16)).
Do not leave wrenches on the machine. Check
that all wrenches have been removed before
starting the machine.
Use only original EFA accessories. Use of other
accessories will void the warranty. Use of other
tools or accessories may result in injury.
Never drill holes in the machine housing. Use
adhesive signs for marking the equipment.

Modifications and changes to the machine are
not permitted and will relieve S&W of any war-
ranty and liability.
3. Commissioning and opera-
tional safety
Place of work
The working area for the operator should be at
least 15 square feet. No other place of work should
extend into this area, as the movements with the
breaking saw could result in the risk of injury.
The illumination at the place of work must be at
least 500 lux.

3.1 Initial operation

Switch off the breaking saw
before connecting to the mains
power supply!
Important information, e.g. technical
data sheets, drawings and parts lists
can be found in Annex A (p. 22).

3.1.1 Spring balancer

The machine must always
be operated in combination
with a weight relief system
(spring balancer).
Install the spring balancer
with a trolley to a higher
element above the place of
work or to the ceiling.
Information on fine adjustment of the spring bal-
ancer can be found in Chapter 4.4 "Repair of the
centrifugal brake" (p. 18).
Suspend the breaking saw so that it is as top-heavy
as possible. The vertical position can be adjusted, if
necessary. The adjustable suspension eye allows the
position of the machine to be adapted to the appli-
cation (longitudinal, transverse or oblique cutting).
When the breaking saw is not in use, store it so that
there is no risk of accidental contact with the sharp
saw blade.
