UPPER PROTECTION OF THE SAW BLADE
The upper protection of the saw blade C)
Fig. 11 , prevents from any unintentional contact with the blade and
protects you from shavings ejection. You must always place the upper protection of the blade about 3 mm away
from the workpiece, thus it must be adjusted every time workpiece’s width changes.
LOWER PROTECTION OF THE SAW BLADE
Saw blade’s lower protection (D)
Fig. 12 prevents from any unintentional contact with the blade. Saw blade’s lower
protection (D) must be always assembled when using the machine.
FLYWHEELS’ DOORS
The doors (A) and (K) Fig. 1 prevent from contact with moving parts which are potentially dangerous; behind this
doors there are the flywheels or pulleys that carry the blade. These doors must be opened in order to clean the
machine, to change the saw blade and also to adjust the tension of the driving belt between the motor and the
flywheel. To open the upper door, turn the thumb knob (C) of the door clockwise. To close the door, turn the knob
anti-clockwise. Follow the same procedure to open and close the lower door by using the thumb knob (J) Fig. 1 .
The two doors of the bandsaw must be always closed when the machine is in use, and to this aim the locks of the
two doors activate two micro safety switchs (A) and (B) Fig. 13 Fig. 14 , that prevent the bandsaw from starting if
they are not perfectly closed.
We recommend you never to damage these safety devices and to periodically check their correct functioning.
WARNING!
Before performing any adjustment or maintenance task and before changing the blade you must
switch off the machine, disconnect it from the power supply and wait for the saw blade to stop.
CAUTION
Connect the bandsaw to the electrical energy and start it only after checking that the machine is
fastened, that the workbench is assembled and adjusted, that saw blade tensioning is correct and that all
safety and protection devices are perfectly efficient.
ON / OFF SWITCH
•
Start = push the green button (A) Fig. 15 .
•
Stop = push the red button (B) Fig. 15 .
In case of an interruption of the electrical energy, a “minimum voltage” relay inside the switch stops the machine.
This prevents the machine from starting when the electrical energy recovers. You must press the green button to
re-start the saw that has stopped.
