9 OPERATION
9.1 Instructions for Use
Operating the machine
The Bench band saw (Art. 0500) should only be used with certain metallic materials
(section bars, stainless steel, copper, aluminium and its alloys).
Do not cut "hardened or case-hardened" steel parts.
Do not cut pieces and/or structural steel exceeding the maximum permissible size (see
the Technical Specifications).
Risk of abrasion and accident
Before using the machine, make sure that it is rigidly fixed to the workbench to prevent
unwanted movement or loss of stability.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, overalls
or aprons and safety shoes.
9.2 Adjustment of the machine and cutting
The machine is adjusted and used as follows:
1. Unlock the transport safety bracket, to
enable the use of the saw.
2. Lift the upper part of the machine by the
handle; in this position it should not descend
by itself. Otherwise, tighten the screw which
acts directly on the inner clutch of the
rotation unit (see
Figure 10
).

3. Loosen the angle locking nut (ref. 16 in
Figura 11
) and manually select the desired
cutting angle. In this regard, using the
graded scale present on the machine itself.
