Use Only As Authorized; Remaining Hazards - Scheppach BASA 3.0 Mode D'emploi

• For sawing heavy
use the appropriate
(Special accessory roller stands).
• Place the upper saw band guide as closely as possible
to the work piece.
• On slanted table plates, attach the longitudinal stop on
the lower table plate half.
• Do not brake the saw band with side pressure after
switching off.
• Remove work pieces that have become stuck only with
the motor switched off and with the saw band at a stand-
still.
• Cut off the external power supply of the machine even
if only minor changes of place are envisaged. Properly
reconnect the machine to the supply mains before re-
commissioning.
• When leaving the work place, switch the motor off. Pull
the power supply plug.

 Use only as authorized

 CE tested machines meet all valid EC machine guidelines
as well as all relevant guidelines for each machine.
• All protective and safety device must be mounted on the
machine before beginning work.
• The machine is designed to be operated by one person.
The operator is responsible for all other persons in the
working area.
• Observe all safety instructions and warnings attached to
the machine.
• See to it that safety instructions and warnings attached
to the machine are always complete and perfectly leg-
ible.
• The bandsaw with the supplied tools and accessories is
designed exclusively for sawing wood, material similar to
wood, and non- ferrous metals and steel.
• The maximum dimensions for workpieces to be proc-
essed is may not exceed the bench size in the standard
version. Clearance width: 306 mm, Clearance height:
205 mm
• For larger workpiece dimensions which require tipping
of the table top, the table extension or the dolly (special
accessories) must be used.
• The band saw can also be used for sawing metal when
it is equipped with a special saw band dolly (special ac-
cessory) and a operated at an adapted cutting speed.
Metal allows with more than 80 % magnesium may not
be processed due to the danger of fires.
• When used in enclosed rooms, the machine must be
connected to a vacuum exhaust unit. Use the dust ex-
tractor to remove matchwood or saw dust. The vacuum
support flow rate must be 20 m/s. Subatmospheric pres-
sure 860 Pa.
• The automatic switching unit is available as a special
accessory.

• The vacuum exhaust unit automatically switches on after
a 2-3 second delay after the machine tool is turned on.
This avoids overloading the circuit fuse.
• After turning off the machine tool, the vacuum exhaust
unit remains on for an additional 2-3 seconds and is then
automatically switched off. Remaining dust is thereby
removed by vacuum exhaust, as required by German
regulations governing hazardous materials. This results
in savings in electricity consumption and reduces noise

levels, as the vacuum exhaust unit is on only during ma-
chine tool operation.
• A suction device which conforms with commercial regu-
lations must be used for suction in commercial areas.
• Do not switch off or remove suction units or dust extrac-
tors while the work machine is in operation.
• The machine must only be used in technically perfect
condition in accordance with its designated use and the
instructions set out in the operating manual, and only
by safety-conscious persons who are fully aware of the
risks involved in operating the machine. Any functional
disorders, especially those affecting the safety of the
machine, should therefore be rectified immediately.
• The safety, work and maintenance instructions of the
manufacturer as well as the technical data given in the
calibrations and dimensions must be adhered to.
• Relevant accident prevention regulations and other, gen-
erally recognized safety-technical rules must also be ad-
hered to.
• The machine may only be used, maintained, and operat-
ed by persons familiar with it and instructed in its opera-
tion and procedures. Arbitrary alterations to the machine
release the manufacturer from all responsibility for any
resulting damages.
• The machine may only be used with original accessories
and original tools made by the manufacturer.
• Any other use exceeds authorization. The manufacturer
is not responsible for any damages resulting from unau-
thorized use; risk is the sole responsibility of the opera-
tor.

Remaining hazards

The machine has been built using modern technology in
accordance with recognized safety rules. Some remaining
hazards, however, may still exist.
• Risk of injury for fingers and hands by the rotating saw
band due to improper handling of the work piece.
• Risk of injury through the hurling work piece due to improp-
er handling, such as working without the push stick.
• Risk of damaging your health due to wood dust and wood
chips. Wear personal protective cloth such as goggles. Use
a fitting dust extractor.
• Risk of injury due to defective saw band. Regularely check
saw band for such defects.
• Risk of injury for fingers and hands while changing saw
band. Wear proper gloves.
• Risk of injury due to starting saw band while switching on
the machine.
• The use of incorrect or damaged mains cables can lead to
injuries caused by electricity.
• Wear only close-fitting clothes. Remove rings, bracelets
and other jewelry.
• For the safety of long hair, wear a cap or hair net.
• Even when all safety measures are taken, some remaining
hazards which are not yet evident may still be present.
• Remaining hazards can be minimized by following the in-
structions in „Safety Precautions", „Proper Use" and in the
entire operating manual.
