DESCRIPTION OF PERFORMANCE
Masonry band saws from LISSMAC are designed especially for processing porous concrete and
have proven themselves on all types of construction sites worldwide. The different models in the
MBS product line allow LISSMAC to offer their customers the greatest possible labour saving and
highly precise cutting technology.
•Perfect for porous concrete and usable under some conditions for bricks
•Optimally dimensioned saw belt rolls guarantee a high service life of the saw belt
•Direct drive saw belt wheels reduce maintenance work on V-belts or other drive elements
•No risk of jamming – a generous opening in the lower saw roller box enables the debris to
pass easily
•Constant, optimum tensioning using an automatic saw belt tensioner for optimum cutting
accuracy and reduced risk of saw band breakage
•Short saw band changing times – with quick-coupling, the saw table can be opened with one
hand movement
•Automatic saw belt cut-off – no excessive saw belt loading, since the saw belt only runs if it
is actually sawing
•The wheel set allows the band saw to be moved easily by one person

1.1. Basics of intended use
1.1.1 The warranty obligation of the manufacturer and supplier is voided for improper or non-intended
use. Any change to the machine which is not carried out by the manufacturer is prohibited.
Changes, removal or addition of parts only with the written approval of the manufacturer.
1.1.2 The machine is constructed according to the state of the art and recognised technical safety rules.
However, danger to life and limb of the user or third parties, and/or damage to the machine or other
property may still arise from its use.
1.1.3 Only use the machine in technically faultless condition and for intended use, aware of safety and
danger complying with the operating manual. You should particularly handle malfunctions which
can compromise safety immediately, or have them addressed by experts.
1.1.4 The LISSMAC masonry band saw belongs to the masonry machines and is designed exclusively for
cutting large-sized bricks and stones. Cutting includes brifcks made of porous concrete and
perforated bricks in dry cut within the adjustable operating range. Use with perforated bricks is only
possible to a limited extent, as the composition is different depending on the manufacturer. For hard
perforated bricks, the wear on the saw belt is too great and thus not recommended. The brick/stone
must lie flat against the stop on the saw table and must not be additionally held manually.
Intended use also includes compliance with the operating manual and observance of inspection and
maintenance manual. The manufacturer/supplier assumes no liability for damages caused by failure
to comply with the intended use.
1.1.5 Foreseeable misuse / non-intended use:
•Cutting wood, plastic or metal
