WARNING!
Very serious injury.
It is forbidden to make any modifications or alterations to the operating values of the
metal belt saw! These could endanger personnel and cause damage to the machine.
1.3 Possible dangers caused by the metal belt saw
The metal belt saw has undergone a safety inspection (analysis of danger with assessment of
risks). Design and construction based on this analysis were carried out with the latest technolog-
ical advances.
Nonetheless, there remains a residual risk, since the metal belt saw operates
• with electrical voltage and current,
• with a continuous saw belt.
We have used construction resources and safety techniques to minimise the health risk to per-
sonnel resulting from these hazards.
If the metal belt saw is used by personnel who are not duly qualified, there may be a risk result-
ing from incorrect operation or unsuitable maintenance.
INFORMATION
All personnel involved in assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance must
• be duly qualified,
• follow this instruction manual.
Improper use
• will endanger personnel,
• will endanger the machine and other objects,
• may affect proper operation of the metal belt saw.
Disconnect the machine whenever cleaning or maintenance work is being carried out.
WARNING!
THE METAL BELT SAW MAY ONLY BE USED WITH THE SAFETY DEVICES ACTIVATED.
Disconnect the metal belt saw whenever you detect a failure in the safety devices or
when they are not fitted!
All additional installations carried out by the operator must incorporate the prescribed
safety devices.
As the machine operator, this will be your responsibility!

2.2 Emissions
The emission of the metal belt saw is below 73 dB(A). If the metal belt saw is installed in an area
where various machines are in operation, the acoustic influence (immission) on the operator of
the metal belt saw may exceed 85 dB(A).
INFORMATION
This numeric value had been measured on a new machine under conventional operating condi-
tions. Depending on the age or wear of the machine, the noise behavior of the machine might
change.
Furthermore, the extent of the noise emission is also depending on manufacturing
influence factors, such as speed, material and clamping conditions.
INFORMATION
The mentioned numerical value is an emission level and not necessarily a safe
working level.
Unless the degree of noise emission and the degree of noise disturbance are depending on one
another it is not possible to use it in order to reliably determine if it is necessary to take further
preventive measures or not.
The following factors influence the actual degree of the noise disturbance of the
operator:
•Characteristics of the working chamber, e.g. size or damping behavior,
• Other noise sources, e.g. the number of machines,
• Other processes proceeding nearby and the period during which the operator is exposed to
the noise.
Furthermore, the admissible pollution level may be different from one country to another due to
the national regulations.
This information regarding the noise emission should allow the operator of the machine to per-
form a better evaluation of the endangerments and risks.
CAUTION!
The machine operator has to wear an appropriate ear protection depending on the overall
stress caused by noise and on the basic limit values.
We generally recommend using a sound and ear protection.
