to the band saw (Fig. 1) and must be observed.
Fig. 1: Safety labels
If safety labels on the machine are damaged or missing,
this can cause errors, personal injury and material da-
mage. The safety symbols attached to the machine must
not be removed. Damaged safety symbols must be re-
placed immediately.
As soon as the signs are not clearly visible and compre-
hensible at first glance, the machine must be stopped until
new signs have been attached.
3 Intended Use
The Wood Band Saw is used exclusively for sawing wood.
The processing of other materials is not intended and not
allowed. Each workpiece must be inspected for foreign ob-
jects such as e.g. Screws or nails are examined. Round ma-
terial may only be cut with a suitable holding device across
the longitudinal axis. A rotation of the workpiece must be
prevented by this fixture. For edging flat workpieces, a
suitable stop angle must be used for safe guidance.
The band saw is designed and built for use in non-explosive
ambient atmospheres.
