2.2 Workplace safety

1. Keep your workplace tidy.
2. Ensure that the workplace environment is
suitable for the use of the tool and properly
illuminated (min. 500 lx).
3. Prevent unauthorised persons from accessing
your workplace. Concentrate on your work and
use common sense. Do not handle the band
saw, if you feel tired and/or find it difficult to
concentrate.
4. Keep the band saw in a safe place. While not in
use, store it in a dry place.
5. Work clothing: Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery, as such items could become
entangled in moving machine parts. Wear safety
footwear. Always wear a hairnet!
6. Avoid an unnatural posture. Make sure that you
stand firmly and do not lose your balance.
7. Use only original EFA saw bands. Always adhere
to the instructions for the replacement of saw
band. See also chapter 4.1 "Changing saw
band" (page 5).
8. Never leave spanners or wrenches attached to
the tool. Before starting it, inspect the stunning
device to ensure that all spanners and wrenches
have been removed.
9. Handle your tools with care. Use only sharp and
undamaged saw bands to ensure safe and
efficient working.
10.Use only original EFA accessories. If other tool
inserts or accessories are used, there is also an
increased risk of injury to the operator and
other persons. The use of spare parts other
than original Schmid & Wezel parts shall void all
warranty.
11.It is prohibited to modify the machine in any
way. Schmid & Wezel rejects any liability for
damages arising from modified equipment.

3. Commissioning and
operational safety
Workplace
The working area for the operator must be at least
1.5 m². This area must be kept clear and may not
be shared with any other staff, as the band saw is
moved during operation and could injure other
persons.
The working area must be illuminated with min.
500 lx.

3.1 Commissioning

When connecting the band saw to
the pressure supply line, ensure
that it is switched off!
For detailed information, technical data,
parts lists and drawings of the
equipment, see Appendix A (page 13).
3.1.1 Spring-loaded pulley
The machine may only operated in conjunction with
a spring-loaded pulley. The pulley must be attached
to a sliding crab secured to a beam above the
workplace or the ceiling. For detailed information on
how to install and balance the spring-loaded pulley,
please refer to chapter 4.3 "Adjusting the spring-
loaded pulley" (page 8).
The band saw must be suspended in such a way
that its head section faces downwards. If required,
the tool can be realigned in vertical direction.
As the device weighs about 48.5 kg, there is a risk
of injury if it is dropped while being attached or
removed from the pulley system. Ensure that the
band saw is not jammed at the hooks. Always
proceed with special care when attaching or
removing the device from the pulley.
When the band saw is not used, it must be stored in
such a way that persons cannot inadvertently come
into contact with its saw band, as it is extremely well
honed.
3.1.2 Connection to electric power supply
The band saw is driven by an electric motor and
must be connected to the mains by an approved
electrician according to the applicable statutory
regulations and the instructions of the local energy
supply company.
