Working Instructions; Electrical Connection - Scheppach MBS1200 Original Bedienungsanleitung

NOTE: If the band saw becomes jammed or stuck
in the workpiece material during sawing, release
the on/off switch (5) immediately to avoid damage
to the saw band and engine.
5. The net weight of the metal band saw delivers
the most efficient cutting pressure. If the pres-
sure is increased by the operator, the saw band
becomes slower and the service life of the band
is reduced.
6. Swivel the metal band saw back into the initial
position after the sawing process. Make sure
that the metal band saw does not tilt back down
again.
m Attention
Wait until the saw band has come to a complete
standstill before removing the workpiece.

11. Working instructions

The following recommendations are examples for safe
use of the metal band saws.
The following safe working methods are considered to
contribute to safety but may not be appropriate, fully
or extensively applicable for every use. They cannot
cover all possible hazardous conditions and must be
interpreted carefully.
• If the machine is not in operation, e.g. work is com-
plete, slacken the saw band. Attach a correspond-
ing note to the machine for the next user about the
tensioning of the saw band.
• Store unused saw bands together and safely in
a dry place. Check them for faults (e.g. teeth and
cracks) before use. Do not use defective saw bands!
• The correct belt tension contributes significantly to
a straight cut of the saw band. Check and correct
the clamping force after sawing if necessary.
• Wear suitable protective gloves when handling saw
band.
• Mount all protective and safety devices to the ma-
chine before starting work.
• Never clean the saw band or the saw band guide
rollers with a hand-held brush or scraper if the saw
band is running. Resinous saw bands jeopardise
work safety and must be cleaned regularly.
• Wear safety goggles and hearing protection when
working for your own personal protection. Wear a
hair net with long hair. Roll loose sleeves up above
the elbows.
• Make sure that the lighting conditions in the working
and surrounding area of the machine are sufficient.
• Secure the workpiece against turning when cutting
round pieces of wood.

12. Electrical connection

The electrical motor installed is connected and ready
for operation. The connection complies with the appli-
cable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer's mains connection as well as the ex-
tension cable used must also comply with these reg-
ulations.
Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is often
damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Pressure points, where connection cables are
passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been improp-
erly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut
due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the
wall outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not
be used and are life-threatening due to the insulation
damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage
regularly. Ensure that the connection cables are dis-
connected from electrical power when checking for
damage.
Electrical connection cables must comply with the ap-
plicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use connection
cables with designation H05VV-F.
The printing of the type designation on the connection
cable is mandatory.
AC motor
• The mains voltage must be 220-240 V~.
• Extension cables up to 25 m long must have a
cross-section of 1.5 square millimetres.
Connections and repair work on the electrical equip-
ment may only be carried out by electricians.
