4 of 28
The customer/operating company is solely responsible for suitable protective measures (e.g. extraction
devices, respiratory protection, protective suits, etc.) and company directives.
If the EFA band saw is not used as intended or is modified without the approval of Schmid & Wezel GmbH,
persons could be injured and the machine damaged.
The operating permit is invalidated.
The intended use includes in particular that you:
 Observe the operating instructions and company directives,
 Observe maintenance instructions and intervals,
 Immediately rectify any faults that impair safety,
 Do not operate the band saw if safe working with it is not possible,
 Do not make any structural changes to the band saw without authorisation.
Danger! The band saws can be hazardous if they are
used by untrained persons, in an improper
manner, or for purposes that are not in line
with the intended use.
Residual hazards
As the band saw is intended for industrial use on carcasses, there is a possibility of injury or, in case of gross
misuse, of fatal injury. Therefore, in case of misuse, the possibility of immediate death or death by blood loss
must be expected.
Consequently, always pay attention to the correct handling of the machine.
There is an injury hazard, especially in the uncovered area of the saw band. Remain focused and act with
caution when working. Wear personal protective equipment.
