LOGOSOL BS350
Safety Instructions
Make sure that the equipment is in good
condition, and that all screws are firmly tightened.
When using the Bandsaw the Logosol Sawmill must
stand on plane and level ground.
The Logosol
Sawmill should be equipped with feet
(ref. no.
4510-723-1500)
and support legs
(ref. no. 4510-
720-6800) which are fastened to the ground with
sturdy screws or bolts.
The Bandsaw may not be connected until you have
made sure that it is properly mounted on the guide
rail, and that the bandsaw carriage clasps both the
guide rail flanges so that it cannot be lifted from the
guide rail. Also make sure that the plastic safety
cover is correctly mounted and locked.
Before starting the bandsaw, always check
that:
...the Logosol Sawmill is securely fastened to the
ground.
... the
BS350
is properly mounted on the sawmill's
guide rail.
...no tools are inside the plastic safety cover.
...you are standing firmly.
...the log is lying firmly on the log beds of the
sawmill.
...no assistants or onlookers are within the safety
distance of the Logosol Sawmill.
Always pull out the plug before:
...opening the plastic safety cover.
...tensioning the saw blade.
...cleaning or other maintenance is performed.
...removing the saw from the sawmill.
Be aware that the bandsaw is a dangerous tool
that should always be handled with respect. Always
switch off the bandsaw when you are not sawing.
The saw should always be switched off when you
are lifting logs on or off the sawmill.
Always stand behind the control arm, and never
reach over the sawmill guide rail while the machine
is running.
Do never reverse the saw while it is running. Wait
until the saw blade has stopped, otherwise the saw
blade can be hurled out from the wheels.
Never leave the bandsaw unattended when it is
plugged in. The machine may only be started by
a person who has read and understood all of the
instructions in this manual. The manual should
always be accessible to those who use the sawill.
The manual should go with the sawmill when it is
lent or sold to someone else.
For your own safety, do not use the
equipment before having read and
understood the entire manual. Do not
let other persons who have not read the
instructions use the equipment. Also
read the manual for the Logosol Sawmill
and the chainsaw you are using.
Use approved hearing protectors and
eye protectors. Hearing can be impaired
after only a short exposure to the high-
frequency sounds of the saw.
Use protective gloves when operating
BS350. It is especially important to have
stout protective gloves when handling
the saw blades.
Use protective shoes or boots with
deeply patterned soles. Shoes with steel
toes are recommended.
