Symbol Warning alert Definition / consequence...
The metal band saw must only be installed and operated in a dry and ventilated place. If the metal band saw is used in any way other than described above, modified without authorization of Optimum Maschinen Germany GmbH, then the metal band saw is being used improperly.
WARNING! Extremely severe injuries. 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. Reasonably foreseeable misuse Any other use other than that specified under "Intended use" or any use beyond the described use shall be deemed as non-intended use and is not permissible.
Possible dangers caused by the metal band saw The metal band saw has been tested for operational safety. The construction and type are state of the art. Nevertheless, there is a residual risk as the metal band saw operates with electrical voltage and currents, ...
Qualified electrician With professional training, knowledge and experience as well as knowledge of respective standards and regulations, qualified electricians are able to perform work on the electrical system and recognise and avoid any possible dangers. Qualified electricians have been specially trained for the working environment, in which they are working and know the relevant standards and regulations.
Safety devices Use the metal band saw only with properly functioning safety devices. Stop the drilling machine immediately if there is a failure on the safety device or if it is not functioning for any reason. It is your responsibility! If a safety device has been activated or has failed, the metal band saw must only be used if you the cause of the fault has been eliminated, ...
Safety check Check the metal band saw at least once per shift. Inform the person responsible immediately of any damage, defects or changes in the operating function. Check all safety devices at the beginning of each shift (with the machine stopped), ...
Personal protective equipment for special works Protect your face and your eyes: Wear a safety helmet with facial protection when performing work where your face and eyes are exposed to hazards. Wear protective gloves when handling pieces with sharp edges. Wear safety shoes when you assemble, disassemble or transport heavy components.
Check if they are working properly! 1.12 Accident report Inform your supervisors and Optimum Maschinen Germany GmbH immediately in the event of accidents, possible sources of danger and any actions which almost led to an accident (near misses). There are many possible causes for "near misses".
The inspection prior to initial commissioning is not required if the operator receives confirmation from the manufacturer or installer that the electrical systems and operating equipment comply with the accident prevention regulations. Permanently installed electrical systems and operating equipment are considered constantly monitored if they are continually serviced by qualified electricians and inspected by means of measurements in the scope of operation (e.g.

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.
Unpacking the machine Transport the metal band saw in its packing crate to a place near its final installation location with a forklift before unpacking it. If the packaging shows signs of possible transport damage, take the necessary precautions not to damage the machine when unpacking.
Assembly CAUTION! Danger of crushing and tilting. Proceed with caution during the work described below. The metal band saw must be fitted on the machine stand by at least 2 people. 3.5.1 Assembling the machine stand - V1 Fit the side panels of the machine stand. ...
3.5.2 Assembling the machine stand - V2 Fit the side panels of the machine stand. Place the machine stand on an appropriate foundation. Check if the underground of the metal band saw is level using a spirit level. Compensate existing unevenness.
