Safety Devices
Upper blade guard
The upper blade guard
protects
against unintentional contact with the
saw blade and from chips flying about.
In order for the upper blade guard to pro-
vide adequate protection against contact
with the band saw blade, it must always
be set as close as possible against the
work piece (distance 3 mm max.).
Lower blade guard
The lower blade guard
protects
against inadvertent contact with the
band saw blade below the saw table.
The lower blade guard must be installed
during operation.
Housing doors
The housing doors
protect against
contact with the rotating parts inside the
machine.
The housing doors are equipped with
interlocking contacts. These turn the
motor OFF when one housing door is
opened while the saw is running.
The 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.

ON/OFF switch
•
To start = press the green switch
button
•
To stop = press red switch button
.
In the event of a voltage failure an und-
ervoltage relay will trip. This prevents the
machine from starting up when the
power is restored. To restart, the green
switch button must be pressed.
Setting knob for band saw blade ten-
sion
the band saw
blade tension is corrected, if necessary:
−
Turning the setting knob clockwise
increases the blade tension.
−
Turning the setting knob counter-
clockwise reduces the blade ten-
sion.
Setting knob for blade tracking
adjustment
the tilt of the
upper band saw wheel can be adjusted,
if necessary. This tracking adjustment is
required to have the blade run dead cen-
tre on the rubber tyres of the band saw
wheels:
−
turning clockwise = blade moves to
the rear
−
Turning counter-clockwise = blade
moves to the front.
