Basic Safety Instructions

Woodworking machines can be dangerous if used improperly. Therefore, observe the safety instructions listed
in this chapter and the accident prevention regulations of your employer's liability insurance association!
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage and malfunctions resulting from failure
to observe these operating instructions.

4.1.1 Application Area and Intended Use

The bandsaws BSB 400 - 900 are designed exclusively for cutting (coping and splitting) ma-
terials for which the respective bandsaw blade used is suitable (e.g. wood or other materi-
als with the same physical and technical properties).
This machine is not suitable for working on metal or scrap wood - which could contain nails,
screws and other metal parts.
The machine may only be operated on a level, firm surface with a sufficiently high minimum
load corresponding to the weight of the machine (refer to section
Other materials such as cork, rubber, hard plastics, bones, etc. can also be processed. Check whether the saw
blade used is suitable for cutting these materials. Cutting these materials may require special safety measures,
even if there is no obvious danger.
Any processing of other materials requires prior consultation with the manufacturer and his approval.
Improper use can lead to danger to persons and to a defect or damage to the machine.
Only lades recommended by the manufacturer are permitted.
The machine is not suitable for operation outdoors or in potentially explosive environments.
•
Permissible ambient temperature: - 15 ... +40° C
•
Permissible humidity:
Intended use also includes connecting the machine to an adequately dimensioned extraction system and observ-
ing the operating, maintenance and servicing conditions specified in the operating manual. Any other use is con-
sidered improper and is prohibited.

4.1.2 Modifications and Conversions to the Machine


Unauthorised conversions and modifications to the machine are strictly prohibited for safety
reasons. This will invalidate the CE declaration of conformity! The manufacturer is not liable
for any resulting damage. The risk for this is borne exclusively by the operator/user.

4.1.3 Connection to a Central Emergency Stop Switch

In workshops where the bandsaw is to be connected to a central emergency stop switch (e.g. school facilities), it
should be noted that bandsaw models with electric motor brake are not suitable for this purpose. If an emer-
gency release is triggered externally, the motor brake is no longer supplied with power. Therefore, the bandsaw
blade continues to run unbraked until it comes to a standstill.
