Safety procedures for the operator
Before starting to work with your band saw, read this manual carefully so that you can use the machine you have
just bought better and with maximum safety.
Keep your work surface clean:
cleanliness in the cutting area is essential if you are to work in Safety.
1. Avoid dangerous exposure:
Do not use the machine in very damp places, or near inflammable liquids or
explosive gases.
2. Do not force the machine unnecessarily:
in order to obtain the best performance, follow the Instructions
given in this booklet. Too high a pressure on the piece to be cut may cause rapid deterioration of the blade and
harmful overheating of the motor. For recommended cutting times, see the cutting table.
3. Dress suitably:
do no wear wide-sleeved clothes or accessories such as scarves, necklace or bracelets that
could be caught in the moving parts.
4. Always use the clamp:
the pieces to be cut must always be held still with the clamp. Never hold with your
hand piece that are to be cut.
5. Avoid accidental starts:
do not keep pressed the button on the grip, while inserting the plug in the socket.
Make Sure the main switch is in “o” position.
6. Check the machine:
before starting each cutting operation, ensure that all the parts of the machine are whole
and that protections are in safety position.
7. Information on noise (EEC directive 09/392): in normal conditions of use, the cutting machine produce
the following sound pressure level equivalent values:
Leq = 82 dB(A), when running idle
Leq = 87,5dB(A), when working
We recommend the use of personal means of ear protection, such as earmuffs or earplugs.
