Caution!
Voltage!
Installation work is only allowed
to be carried out by authorised
specialist personnel.
Only connect the saw to the
mains when it is switched off!
Caution!
Tripping hazard!
We recommend that the lines are led away
upwards.
Lines that run along the floor can be
a tripping hazard for the operator!
Warning!
Wear eye protection or protective
goggles and safety shoes when
working!
When the saw is not in use, place it in such a way that there is no accidental contact with the sharp saw band.
This can lead to injuries.
5.1.1 Spring balancer
The machine must always be operated in combination with a
weight relief device (spring balancer), see Fig. 5.1.
The spring balancer is secured with a safety chain (2), see
Fig. 5.2 Fine-tuning of the spring balancer. This must be
secured in a fixed position independent of the suspension of
the spring balancer.
Use a trolley to attach the spring balancer to a higher element
above the workplace or to the ceiling.
Danger! Do not come into contact with
the sharp saw band.
Danger! Due to the weight, there could be
a hazard due to the machine
slipping or falling when the
weight relief device is attached
or detached.
Danger!
When hooking in the
cable of the spring
balancer, the spring
loaded rope can whip
around if the snap hook is
not properly hooked into
the suspension.
Please note that if the rope rebounds when
unloaded, it is very dangerous for people. The
spring will also be irreparably damaged.
The maximum load specified on the nameplate must
not be exceeded.
Also make sure that the machine does not jam either on the snap hook or on the suspension of the band saw.
Be careful!
