3.4 Safety devices
Upper blade guard
The upper blade guard
(26)
protects
against unintentional contact with the saw
blade and from chips flying about.
In order for the upper blade guard to
provide adequate protection against
contact with the band saw blade, it must
always be set as close as possible
against the workpiece (max. distance 3
mm).
Lower blade guard
The lower blade guard
(27)
protects
against unintentional contact with the saw
blade.
The lower blade guard must always be in
place and cover the band saw blade while
the band saw is running.
Housing doors
The housing doors
(25)
protect against
contact with the rotating parts inside the
machine.
Both
housing doors must be closed
while the machine is in use.
Push stick
The push stick serves as an extension of
the hand and protects against accidental
contact with the saw blade.
The push stick must always be used if
the distance between band saw blade
and a rip fence is less than 120 mm.
Guide the push stick at an angle of 20
°
… 30
°
against the saw table's surface.
When the push stick is not used it can
be stored on the push stick holder
provided at the band saw frame.
Replace push stick if damaged.
