CONNECTION OF THE DUST COLLECTION DEVICE
In the bandasaw there is a coupling (A) Fig. 10 to which you can connect the pipe of an external dust collector to
extract the dust and wood shavings.
We recommend you to always connect a dust collector when processing wood and to use a dust mask.
If you do not have a dust collector, we recommend you to work outdoors, with a dust mask and for short periods of
time.
You must periodically remove wood shavings piling up inside the bandsaw and in pulley’s compartments.
DANGER!
The dust of certain types of wood, as for example oak, beech or ash-tree has been proved to be
especially dangerous for human health. We recommend you to work outdoors, to use an efficient dust
collection device and personal safety devices as for example dust masks.
