MACHINE SAFETY DEVICES
6.1 Electrical safety devices
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, the
B
ENCH BAND SAW
is equipped with a power
cord and plug with a
earthing lead
that provides a path of minimal resistance to the electric
current; thus it reduces the danger of electrocution.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate socket, grounded in accordance with current
regulation. Extension cables must be of a section equal to or greater than the power cable of
the machine.
Electric shock.
Improper connection of the machine’s grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric
shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if you don't understand the grounding instructions
or if you have any doubts about grounding the machine.
6.2 Mechanical risk safety devices
6.2.1 Protective casing
They have the task of preventing parts of the operator's body, particularly hands and/or
fingers, from coming into direct contact with the bandsaw blade.
This prevents the splinters, dust or blade fragments that eventually get separated from being
thrown into the operator's face.
Checking the Safety devices
Each time you use the Bandsaw, check the proper functioning and integrity of the safety
devices.
6.2.2 Safety start switch
The control device of the Band saw has a safety switch (button) which is held down, with a
safety catch.
This prevents the danger of unwanted and/or accidental starts of the machine, since the
activation of the blade can only be started through a voluntary action suitable for the given
purpose (moving down the safety catch and pressing the button).
As said, the command requires maintained action, so the rotation of the blade continues until
the operator releases the button itself.
