Safety

2 Safety

At the time of its development and production, the ma-

chine was built in accordance with prevailing technologi-

cal regulations and therefore conforms to industry safety 

standards.

However, hazards may arise should the machine be 

operated by untrained personnel, used improperly or em-

ployed for purposes other than those it was designed for. 

The chapter entitled „Safety“ offers an overview of all 

the important safety considerations necessary to optimise 

safety and ensure the safe and trouble-free operation of 

the machine.

Additionally, in order to further minimize risks, the other 

chapters of this manual contain specific safety instruc-

tions, all marked with symbols. Besides the various 

instructions, there are a number of pictograms, signs and 

labels affixed to the machine that must also be heeded. 

These must be kept visible and readable and may not be 

removed.

2.1 Intended use

The N4400 bandsaw is solely for the use of sawing 

wood and other similar machinable materials. The 

machine should only be used to cut wood and wood-like 

panels. Operational safety is guaranteed only when the 

machine is used for the intended purposes.

Attention: Any other application above and beyond the intended purposes is considered improper use 

and is therefore not permitted. All claims regarding damage resulting from improper use that are made 

against the manufacturer and its authorized representatives shall be rejected. The operator shall be solely 

liable for any damage that results from improper use of the machine.

The term „proper use“ also refers to correctly observing 

the operating conditions as well as the specifications and 

instructions in this manual.

The machine may only be operated with parts and origi-

nal accessories from the manufacturer.

2.2 Manual contents

All those appointed to work on or with the machine must 

have fully read and understood the manual before com-

mencing any work. This requirement must be met even 

if the appointed person is familiar with the operation of 

such a machine or a similar one, or has been trained 

by the manufacturer. Knowledge about the contents of 

this manual is a prerequisite for protecting personnel 

from hazards and avoiding mistakes so that the machine 

may be operated in a safe and trouble-free manner. It is 

recommended that the operator request proof from the 

personnel that the contents of the manual have in fact 

been read and understood.

2.3 Making changes and modifications to the machine

In order to minimize risks and to ensure optimal perform-

ance, it is strictly prohibited to alter, retrofit or modify the 

machine in any way without the express consent of the 

manufacturer. All the pictograms, signs and labels af-

fixed to the machine must be kept visible, readable and 

may not be removed. Pictograms, signs and labels that 

have become damaged or unreadable must be replaced 

promptly.
