WHEEL-MOUNTED BAND SAW
NOTE: The band saw can make dry cuts as well
as cuts using lubricant oil; in the latter case, aim
the cutting oil can jet on the blade.

STANDARD SAFETY PROCEDURS
- Do not use the machine in very damp places or in the
presence of infl ammable liquids or gases.
- Do not use it in the open air when general weather and
environmental conditions are unfavourable (eg. explosive
atmospheres, during a storm or rain).
- Wear suitable clothes, without wide sleeves or articles such
as scarves, chains and bracelets which could get caught
in the moving parts.
- Always use personal protection devices: protective goggles
as recommended by safety standards, gloves of the right
size, headphones or earplugs, and hairnets if necessary.
- Use the tools recommended in this manual if you want
to achieve the best performance from your sawing
machine.
- Any power cable extensions must be type approved and
comply with safety standards.
- Avoid using the machine if your psycho-physical condition
are precarious or upset.
1.6
SAFETY PROCEDURS FOR FURTHER RISK
- Always keep processing residues away from the cutting
area.
- Always use the clamp. The parts to be cut must always be
held fi rmly in the clamp.
- Always keep hands away from the working areas while the
machine is moving: before loading or unloading the part,
release the run button on the hand grip.
- Do not force the machine unnecessarily : excessive
cutting pressure could cause rapid wear to the blade and
negatively infl uence the performance of the machine in
terms of fi nishes and cutting precision.

INFORMATION REGARDING NOISE AND
VIBRATIONS
The measurement of the noise level in compliance with
standards EN61029, EN3744 and EN11201 gave the
following results (value of 3 dB uncertain).
BENCHTOP BAND SAW
The surface sound pressure level Lp.
-
Lp = 79.6 dB(A) during operation without load;
-
Lp = 81.0 dB(A) during operation (e.g. cutting a solid
steel bar Ø80 mm at max. speed);
-
Lp = 83.2 dB(A) during operation (e.g. cutting a 60 x 60,
3 mm thick steel section at max. speed);
The sound power level Lw.
-
Lw= 93,1 dB(A) during operation without load;
-
Lw = 94,5 dB(A) during operation (e.g. cutting a solid
steel bar Ø80 mm at max. speed);
-
Lw = 96,7 dB(A) during operation (e.g. cutting a 60 x
60, 3 mm thick steel section at max. speed);

The sound power level Lw.
-
Lw = 92,6dB(A) during operation without load;
-
Lw = 94,0 dB(A) during operation (e.g. cutting a solid
steel bar Ø80 mm at max. speed);
-
Lw = 94,0 dB(A) during operation (e.g. cutting a 60 x
60, 3 mm thick steel section at max. speed);
Mean frequency-weighted hand - arm acceleration vibration
exposure does not exceed 2.5 m/s².The measurements are
taken in accordance with standards UNI7712, ISO3740,
ISO 3746 and EC/2006/42
The emission levels indicated are not necessarily safety
levels. Although there is a relationship between the emissions
and exposure levels, the values shown cannot be used for
establishing the need for further precautions.
There are other factors which infl uence the exposure levels of
operators, such as the features of the work place, presence of
other sources of noise, number of machines running, etc.
The exposure levels may also vary between countries.
This information is necessary for the user for better evaluation
of the risks and hazards deriving from noise.
NOTE: Personal hearing protention should be
used, such as headphones or earplugs.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
The European regulations on safety and, in particular, the
Directive EC/2004/108 contemplate that all the equipment be
equipped with shielding devices against radio interferences
both from and towards the outside.
This machine is equipped with fi lters through which the
machine is safe and in compliance with above regulations.
Tests were carried out according to 61000-6-1, EN 61000-
6-3, EN 55014-1, EN 55014-2 regulations.
