If the metal band saw is used in any way other than described above, modified without authori- Operations not in accordance with zation of Optimum Maschinen Germany GmbH, then the metal band saw is being used improp- intended use! erly.
Technical data on page 14 The decisive factor for achieving efficient cutting and the necessary angular tolerance is the correct choice of parameters such as the saw blade, feed, cutting pressure, cutting speed and cooling agent. WARNING! Heaviest injuries due improper use. It is forbidden to make any modifications or alternations to the operation values of the metal band saw ! They could endanger the staff and cause damage to the metal band saw.
Always disconnect plug of the metal band saw from the electrical power supply. This will pre- vent it from being used by unauthorized persons. The qualifications of the personnel for the different tasks are mentioned below: Operator The operator is instructed by the operating company about the assigned tasks and possible risks in case of improper behaviour.
For work on the following parts there are additional requirements: Electric components or operating materials: Must only be performed by a qualified electrician or person working under the instructions and supervision of a qualified electrician. Before starting work on electrical parts or operating agents, following measures are to be performed in the following order.
1.7.1 Saw arch The saw arch of the metal band saw is fitted with a protective cover firmly screwed laterally. The protective cover protects the belt guide pulleys and the rotating saw belt. Close and mount all protective covers before restarting the metal band saw. WARNING! Danger of injury! The teeth of the saw belt are sharp.
1.10 Individual protection gear For certain work individual protection gear as protective equipment. This includes: Safety helmet, protective glasses or face guard, protective gloves, safety shoes with steel toe caps, ear protection.

If the metal band saw is installed in an area where various machines are in operation, the noise exposure (immission) on the operator of the metal band saw at the working place may exceed 80 dB(A).
Delivery, interdepartmental transport, assembly and commissioning Notes on transport, installation, commissioning Improper transport, installation and commissioning is liable to accidents and can cause damage or malfunctions to the machine for which we do not assume any liability or guarantee. Transport the scope of delivery secured against shifting or tilting with a sufficiently dimen- sioned industrial truck or a crane to the installation site.
Store packed and unpacked parts only under the intended environmental conditions Environmental conditions on page 14 Consult Optimum Maschinen Germany GmbH if the metal band saw and accessories are stored for more than three months or are stored under different environmental conditions than those given here.
3.5.1 Wheels Place wooden chocks beneath the lower frame for fitting the wheels. Make sure the metal band saw is located on a sturdy base. Cotter-pin Pass the axle through the bore holes in the lower frame. Position the wheels onto the axles and attach them in place using cotter-pins.
First commissioning ATTENTION! Before commissioning the machine check all screws, fixtures resp. safety devices and tighten up the screws if necessary! WARNING! When first commissioning the metal band saw by inexperienced staff you endanger people and the machine. We do not take any liability for damages caused by incorrectly performed commissioning.
3.7.4 Tension of the saw blade Check the tension of the saw belt. The correct saw belt tension is achieved, when you can move the saw belt with a power of about 50 N in the middle by 3mm. Setting the tension in the saw belt on page 31 3.7.5...
