5 DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROLS
5.1 Start button
Found on the control handle of the band saw (see
Figure 5
and ref. 7 in
Figure 1
) is the start button of the blade, consisting of a sustained action
safety button.
This switch is equipped with a sliding safety catch (red) against accidental
operation, for example in the case of an impact against the start button
(see
Figure 5
).
Figure 5 – Start button.
To perform the cutting operations, it is necessary to rotate the blade, i.e.:
move the safety catch down (yellow);
hold the start button down.
Cutting hazard
It is absolutely forbidden to by-pass the safety feature constituted by holding down the start
button, by trying to lock the button in the "ON" position.
NOTE: Given the operator's workstation and the reduced overall size of the
machine, the sustained action start button is also an emergency stop switch.
Emergency
In the event of emergency, immediately release the start button and the handle and move
away from the machine.
To stop the blade rotation, release the start switch. It automatically returns to the up position
("OFF").
Cutting hazard
After releasing the start switch, the blade continues to rotate by inertia.
Do not put body parts like hands and/or feet near the moving blade
