General Safety Notes - Scheppach Basa dst Originalanleitung

have been trained in the use of the machine and
instructed regarding the dangers connected with it.
The required minimum age must be observed.
In addition to the safety notes contained in these
• Pass on the safety notes to all persons who
work at the machine.
• Personnel charged with activities on the machi-
ne must have read the operating instructions
and especially the chapter Safety Notes, before
beginning work. Once work has begun, it is
too late. This applies to an especial degree for
personnel who are active at the machine only
occasionally, e.g. for setup, maintenance.
• Observe all safety and danger notes on the
machine.
• Keep all safety and danger notes on the machi-
ne completely legible.
• Check the mains cables. Do not use defective
cables.
• Make sure that the machine is installed in a
stable fashion on a strong base.
• Provide sufficient lighting in the working and
surrounding area of the machine.
• Caution during work: there is danger of injuring
fingers and hands by the rotating cutting tool.
• During work at the machine, all protective
equipment and covers must be mounted.
• Keep children away from the machine when it is
connected to the mains.
• The operator must be at least 18 years old.
Trainees must be at least 16 years old but may
operate the machine only under supervision.
• Persons working at the machine may not be
distracted.
• Keep the work surface of the machine free from
D GB
• The machine adheres to the applicable EU
Machines Directive.
• The machine is not suitable for the industrial
sector (permanent installation).
• Before beginning work, all protective and safety
equipment must be mounted on the machine.
• The machine is designed for use by one person.
The operator is responsible for third parties in
the work area.
• Observe all safety and danger notices on the
machine.
• Keep all safety and danger notices on the ma-
chine completely in a legible condition.
• The band saw is designed to be used with the
provided tools and accessories exclusively for
sawing wood, wood-like materials and non-
ferrous metals.
• The maximum dimensions of the work piece to
be processed may not exceed the table size in
the standard configuration. Aperture width 375
mm, aperture height 250 mm
• For larger work piece dimensions, which require
a tipping of the table plate, the table extension
or the roller carrier (special accessory) is to be
used.
• The band saw can be used with the special saw
blade (special accessory) as well as its speed
adjusted to saw metal as well. Material alloys
with more than 80% magnesium may not be
processed due to fire danger.
• When used in enclosed spaces, the machine
must be connected to a suction system. Install
a suction system to suction off wood chips or
sawdust. The flow velocity at the suction nozzle
must be 20m/s. Vacuum 1750 Pa (Please provi-
de corresponding suction devices). Diameter of
the suction nozzle 100 mm
operating instructions and the particular laws of
your country, the generally recognized technical
rules for operation of woodworking machines are
to be observed.
General Safety Notes 
chips and waste wood.
• Do not use this machine in the rain or in a damp
environment. Protect it from becoming wet.
• Wear close-fitting clothes. Take off jewellery,
rings and wristwatches.
• Wear safety glasses during work.
• To protect long hair, wear a cap or hair net.
• Wear suitable gloves to change the saw band.
• Do not wear work gloves when working at the
saw.
• Observe the correct rotational speed setting on
the machine.
• The protective devices on the machine may not
be removed or rendered unusable.
• Carry out retrofitting, adjustment, measurement
and cleaning tasks only when the motor is
switched off. Pull out the plug and wait for the
rotating tool to come to a stop.
• Installations, repairs and maintenance work to
the electrical installation may be carried out only
by professionals.
• All protective and safety guards must be re-
mounted immediately after completed repair
and maintenance work.
• To correct problems, switch off the machine.Pull
out the plug!
• To suction off wood chips or sawdust, install a
suction system. The flow velocity at the suction
nozzle must be 20m/s.
• Before start-up, check the saw band guide as
well as the saw band tension.
Intended Use 
• The automatic switch-on is available as a spe-
cial accessory.

• When the work machine is switched on, the
suction turns on automatically after a 2- to
3-second switch-on delay. An overloading of the
mains is thus prevented.
• After the work machine is switched off, the
suction runs for another 3-4 seconds and then
switches off automatically.
• The remaining dust is thereby suctioned off, as
required in the Ordinance on Hazardous Sub-
stances. This saves energy and reduces noise.
The suction system runs only while the work
machine is operated.
• For work in the industrial sector, a vacuum that
meets the industrial regulations must be instal-
led for the suction.
• Suction system must be switched on before
operation.
• Do not switch off or remove the suction systems
or dust extractor while the machine is running.
• Use the machine only in a technically flawless
state as well as properly, aware of safety and
danger and with due consideration for the
operating instructions! In particular, completely
repair problems that can influence safety (or
have them repaired)!
• Pay attention to the safety, operating and
maintenance requirements of the manufacturer
as well as the dimensions given in the Technical
Data.
• Observe all applicable accident prevention
ordinances and the other generally recognized
safety-technical rules.

In these operating instructions, we have
denoted places that affect your safety with this
symbol: 
• Use only sharpened saw bands.
• Do not use cracked saw bands, or those that
have changed their shape.
• If the saw slit is worn, exchange the table insert.
• When sawing round pieces of wood, secure the
work piece against turning.
• To saw hard or unwieldy pieces, use suitable
tools for support. Special accessory: Roller
carrier and all-sides roller carrier.
• Place the upper saw band guide as close as
possible to the work piece.
• If the table plate is set in an oblique position, set
the longitudinal fence on the lower table plate
half.
• After switching off the motor, do not brake the
saw band with side pressure.
• Remove sawed-off, jammed work pieces only
when the motor is switched off and the saw
band has stopped
• Disconnect the machine from all external power
sources for even negligible relocations! Before
starting up again, properly reconnect the machi-
ne to the mains.
• When you leave the workplace, switch off the
motor. –Pull out the plug!
• If the band saw blade or belt rips, switch off the
band saw and wait for it to come to a stop.
• Never remove chips when the saw is running.
• Do not use the machine to cut round or irregu-
larly shaped work pieces (e.g. firewood).
• The machine may be used, maintained or
repaired only by experienced persons who are
assigned to do so and who are instructed regar-
ding the dangers. Independent changes to the
machine exclude a liability of the manufacturer
for resulting damages.
• Only operate the machine with original accesso-
ries and original tools from the manufacturer.
• Any use that goes beyond these terms is consi-
dered improper. The manufacturer is not liable
for damages resulting from such use; the user
alone bears the risk thereof.
