marked the places that have to do with your
safety with this sign.
• Please pass on safety notes and instructions
to all those who work on this machine.
• Personnel entrusted with work on the machine
must have read the operating instructions
and in particular the chapter on safety before
beginning work. Reading the instructions
after work has begun, is too late. This applies
especially to persons working only occasio-
nally on the rnachine, e.g. during setting up or
rnaintenance.

attached to the machine.
• See to it that all safty instructions and war-
nings attached to the machine are complete
and perfectly legible.
• Check all power supply lines. Do not use
defective lines.
• Make sure that the machine stands stable on
firm ground.
• Insure sufficient lighting in the work area and
the area around the machine.
• Caution when working: There is a danger to
fingers and hands from the rotating tool.
• When working on the machine, all safety me-
chanisms and covers must be mounted.
• Keep children away from the machine when it
is connected to the power supply.
 CE tested machines meet all valid EC
machine guidelines as well as all relevant
guidelines for each machine.
• All protective and safety device must be moun-
ted on the machine before beginning work.
• The machine is designed to be operated by
one person. The operator is responsible for all
other persons in the working area.
• Observe all safety instructions and warnings
attached to the machine.
• See to it that safety instructions and warnings
attached to the machine are always complete
and perfectly legible.
• The bandsaw with the supplied tools and
accessories is designed exclusively for sawing
wood, material similar to wood, and non-
ferrous metals and steel.
• The maximum dimensions for workpieces to
be processed is may not exceed the bench
size in the standard version. Clearance width:
440 mm, Clearance height: 300 mm
• For larger workpiece dimensions which require
tipping of the table top, the table extension or
the dolly (special accessories) must be used.
• The band saw can also be used for sawing
metal when it is equipped with a special saw
band dolly (special accessory) and a operated
at an adapted cutting speed. Metal allows
with more than 80 % magnesium may not be
processed due to the danger of fires.
• When used in enclosed rooms, the machine
must be connected to a vacuum exhaust unit.
Use the dust extractor to remove matchwood
or saw dust. The vacuum support flow rate
must be 20 m/s. Subatmospheric pressure
860 Pa.
• The automatic switching unit is available as a
special accessory.

• The vacuum exhaust unit automatically
switches on after a 2-3 second delay after the

Safety notes

• Operating personal must be at least 18 years
of age. Trainees must be at least 16 years of
age, but may only operate the machine under
adult supervision.
• Persons working on the machine may be not
diverted from their work.
• The working space on the machine must be
free of chips and wood scrap.
• Wear only close-fitting clothes. Remove rings,
bracelets and other jewelry.
• Always wear safety goggles when working.
• Wear a cap or hair net to protect long hair.
• Wear suitable gloves to change the sawband.
• Do not wear work gloves when working on the
saw.
• Observe the correct rotational speed setting
on the machine.
• The safety mechanism on the machine may
not be removed or rendered unusable.
• Cleaning, changing, calibrating, and setting of
the machine may only be carried out when the
motor is switched off. Pull the power supply
plug and wait for the rotating tool to completely
stop.
• Connection and repair work on the electrical
installation may be carried out by a qualified
electrican only.
• All protection and safety devices must be
replaced after completing repair and mainte-
nance procedures.

Use only as authorized

ding the circuit fuse.
• After turning off the machine tool, the vacuum
exhaust unit remains on for an additional 2-3
seconds and is then automatically switched
off. Remaining dust is thereby removed by
vacuum exhaust, as required by German
regulations governing hazardous materials.
This results in savings in electricity consump-
tion and reduces noise levels, as the vacuum
exhaust unit is on only during machine tool
operation.
• A suction device which conforms with com-
mercial regulations must be used for suction in
commercial areas.
• Do not switch off or remove suction units or
dust extractors while the work machine is in
operation.
• The machine must only be used in techni-
cally perfect condition in accordance with its
designated use and the instructions set out
in the operating manual, and only by safety-
conscious persons who are fully aware of the
risks involved in operating the machine. Any
functional disorders, especially those affecting
the safety of the machine, should therefore be
rectified immediately.
• The safety, work and maintenance instructions
of the manufacturer as well as the technical
data given in the calibrations and dimensions
must be adhered to.
• Relevant accident prevention regulations and
other, generally recognized safety-technical
rules must also be adhered to.
• The machine may only be used, maintained,
and operated by persons familiar with it and
instructed in its operation and procedures.
Arbitrary alterations to the machine release
the manufacturer from all responsibility for any
resulting damages.
• The machine may only be used with original
acces sories and original tools made by the
manufacturer.
• Any other use exceeds authorization. The ma-
nufacturer is not responsible for any damages

and sawdust. The current speed at the suction
connection piece should be 20 m/s.
• Check the saw band guide and the saw band
tension before starting up.
• Do not use nicked saw bands or those that
have an altered form.
• Replace table inserts that have worn saw
slots.
• When sawing round wood, make sure that the
work piece does not turn.
• For sawing heavy or cumbersome pieces, use
the appropriate working aids for bracing.
(Special accessory roller stands).
• Place the upper saw band guide as closely as
possible to the work piece.
• On slanted table plates, attach the longitudinal
stop on the lower table plate half.
• Do not brake the saw band with side pressure
after switching off.
• Remove work pieces that have become stuck
only with the motor switched off and with the
saw band at a standstill.
• Cut off the external power supply of the ma-
chine even if only minor changes of place are
envisaged. Properly reconnect the machine to
the supply mains before recommissioning.
