4.3 Noise emission
The specified values are emission values and therefore
do not represent safe workplace values. Even though a
relationship exists between particle emission and noise
emission levels, an inference cannot be made about
whether additional safety measures need to be imple-
mented. Factors which can significantly affect the emis-
sion level that presently exists at the workplace include
duration of the effect, characteristics of the workspace,
and other ambient influences. The permissible workplace
values may also differ from country to country. Neverthe-
less, this information is provided to help the operator bet-
ter assess hazards and risks. Depending on the location
of the machine and other specific conditions, the actual
noise emission values may deviate significantly from the
specified values.
4.4 Particle emission
The working areas of this machine comply to BGI 739-1
and are classed as dust reduced.
The maximum concentration level of 2 mg/m³ of inhala-
ble dust in the air will not be exceeded.
This only applies if the conditions that are specified in
the section >Extraction< are adhered to.

4.5 Dust extractors
The machine has to be connected to a dust extractor. The
connection values and the position of the connection port
are shown on the picture.
The air speed at the connection point has to be a mini-
mum of 20 m/s for materials with a humidity less than
12 %.
The air speed should be increased to 25–28 m/s to ex-
tract dust from more humid materials (over 12 %).
Only flame resistant vacuum hoses can be used, conform-
ing to DIN 4102 B1 and any other safety regulations in
effect.

Specifications
Warning! Risk of injury! The dust extraction hose must be non-flammable and must not conduct electricity! For
this reason, only use genuine FELDER dust extraction hoses!
Note: As a rule, all units must be vacuumed during use. A time delayed socket is available as an accesso-
ry.
• In addition, the vacuum performance must be sufficient
to achieve the required negative pressures and an air
speed of 20 m/s at the connector. (see “Technical
data”)
• Check the air speed before putting the machine into
operation for the first time and after essential changes.
• The dust extractor setup must be controlled before the
machine is put into operation for the first time. Check for
obvious defects on a daily basis and the efficiency on a
monthly basis.
• The dust extractor must be connected to the machine
in such a manner that it runs in unison with the
machine.
• The dust extraction hoses must be electrically conduc-
tive and grounded to prevent electrostatic
build up.
• Use dust extractors with reduced dust emission to clean
dust from the machine.

and tools that are not put in their correct place or put
away may be the cause of accidents!
• Install the safety equipment according to the
instructions and check that it functions properly.
Installation site requirements:
• Operating/room temperature: +10° to +40°C.
• Ensure that the work surface is sufficiently stable and
has the proper load-bearing capacity.
• Provide sufficient light at the workstation.
• Ensure there is sufficient clearance for or from
neighbouring workstations.
• Risk of injury! Keep machines, tools and accessories
etc. out of the reach of children.
• Vacuum hoses and electrical wires should be layed
in such a way as to avoid tripping over them.

The following points are important for a correct and effi-
cient machine installation:
• Position the machine with the aid of a spirit level to en-
sure that the machine functions precisely and operates
smoothly.
• Compensate for uneven floors with the „adjusting
screws“ or bolster the machine.
• The machine should be bolted to the floor with M10
screws for optimum stability, however take care not to
overtighten the fastening bolts as this will increase vi-
brations. It is advisable to place vibration dampening
pads between the floor and the machine.
• Install the machine in such a way as not to amplify the
vibrations and machine noise.
• Ensure that workplace lighting is adequate.
• If the machine is to be installed between other ma-
chines, leave at least 80 cm distance in-between, in
order to avoid collisions when cutting large workpi-
eces and to allow the use of equipment such as roll
supports and additional tables.

Electrical connection requirements
• The machine must be earthed with electrical
conductors.
• The voltage fluctuations in the mains supply may not
exceed ±10 %.
• The switch cabinet must be fitted with a circuit
breaker (DIN VDE 0641).
Number of terminals: 3 (three phase current motors)
• The unit must only be used in TN-Systems (neutral
connected to earth)! (only 3x400V)
• Safeguarding/Power supply cord: see the table to the
right
• The power supply cable must be protected against
damage (e.g. armoured conduit).
• The power supply cable must be laid in such a way
so it does not overbend or chafe and there is no risk
of tripping over it.
When the machine is first switched on, check the rotati-
onal direction and if incorrect, exchange two phases in
the connection box.
The rotational direction of one phase motors has been
set correctly by the manufacturer.
After connection, check that the connection box and
cable gland have been screwed tightly.
The dust extractor has to be connected to the machine in
such a way as to be operating automatically when the
bandsaw is switched on.
Ceci est possible au moyen d‘un interrupteur
à induction.
6.6 Electrical connection
Note: The machine’s circuit box may only be opened with the express consent of the FELDER service team.
Violating this stipulation shall render the right to make claims under the warranty null and void.
Attention! Risk of material damage!
Before hooking up the machine to the power supply, compare the specifications on the data plate with
those of the electrical network. Only hook up the machine if the two sets of data correspond to each other.
The electrical outlet must have the appropriate socket (for a three-phase alternating current motor, CEE).
Warning! Danger! Electric current!
Work on electrical fittings may only be carried out by qualified personnel and in strict observance of the
safety instructions.
Checking the loop impedance and the suitability of the overcurrent protective device must take place at the
location where the machine is to be commissioned!
