8 Connection to Power Mains
Damaged power cables must be replaced immediately
by a qualified electrician. Risk of electric shock if
operated with a damaged power cable.
Children and juveniles should not to operate this machine.
This band saw is equipped with a 1.1 kW 230 V single-
phase motor. For connection to power mains the power
cable is fitted with an earthed plug.
All models are equipped with an electronic brake. A light
humming sound emitted from the switch for a short
period after connection to power is normal and does not
indicate a fault. If the brake fails have the fine-wire fuse
inside the switch checked. The max. permissible number
of 20 switching actuations per hour should not be
exceeded.
The electrical installation must ensure that a dust collector
starts up when this band saw is switched on (e.g. with an
induction coil in the supply lines).
