SAFETY IS A COMBINATION OF OPERATOR
COMMON SENSE AND ALERTNESS AT ALL
TIMES WHEN THE BANDSAW IS BEING USED.
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO OPERATE YOUR BANDSAW UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY
ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE
INSTRUCTIONS.
SAFE OPERATION
1. The bandsaw should be bolted to the floor where possible.
2. If you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of
bandsaws, obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor, or
other qualified person or contact your retailer for information
on training courses. Do not use this machine until adequate
training has been undertaken.
3.
Never turn the machine ‘ON’ before clearing the table of all
objects (tools, scrap pieces etc.)
4. Ensure that:
(i) the voltage of the machine corresponds to the mains voltage.
(ii) To use an earthed power source (wall socket).
(iii) The cord and plug are in good condition, i.e. not frayed or
damaged.
(iv) No saw teeth are missing and the blade is not cracked or
split. Otherwise replace blade.
(v) The blade is properly tensioned and aligned.
5. Never start the machine with the saw blade pressed against
the workpiece.
6.
Never apply sideways pressure on the blade as this may
cause the blade to break.
7. Care must be taken when cutting wood with knots, nails or
cracks in it and / or dirt on it, as these can cause the blade to
get stuck.
8. Never leave the machine running unattended.
9.
Ensure the teeth of the blade are pointing downwards.
10. Do not use saw blades which are damaged or deformed.
11.
Replace the table insert when it is worn.
12. When cutting round timber use a suitable device to prevent
twisting of the workpiece. See section 9 Fig. 9.4.
13. DO NOT operate the machine when the door or the blade
guard is not closed.
14. Adjust the guard as close as possible to the workpiece
being cut.
15. Ensure the selection of the saw blade and speed are
suitable for the material to be cut. For most wood cutting
applications the fastest of the two speeds should be used.
See
section 9.
16.
If the mains lead is damaged, it must only be replaced by a
qualified electrician.
17. Never use a long extension cable.
18.
WARNING LABELS – It is important that labels bearing
Health & Safety Warnings are not removed or painted over. New
labels are available from Customer Services.
19. MECHANICAL SAFETY – The security of all clamps and
work holding devices should be checked before switching on.
20. WOOD DUST – The fine particles of dust produced in
cutting operations are a potential health risk. Some imported
hardwoods do give off highly irritant dust which causes a
burning sensation. We strongly recommend the use of a
dust collector and dust mask/visor. Our Customer Services
Department will be happy to advise you on the correct unit for
your needs.
