V. Connection of the dust collection device
DANGER!
The dust of certain kind of wood, as for example oak, beech or ash-tree has been
proved to be especially dangerous for human health. We recommend you to work
outdoors, to use an efficient dust collection device and personal safety devices as for
example dust masks.
In the bandasaw there is a coupling to which you can connect the pipe of an external dust
collector to extract the dust and wood shavings.
We recommend you to always connect a dust collector when processing wood and to use a
dust mask.
If you do not have a dust collector, we recommend you to work outdoods, with a dust mask
and for short periods of time.
You must periodically remove wood shavings piling up inside the bandsaw and in the pulley’s
compartments.
I. Upper protection of the saw blade FIG.6
The upper protection of the saw blade (20), which is an integral part of the group including
also the upper blade guide, prevents any unintentional contact with the blade and protects you
the ejection of the shavings. You must always place the upper protection of the blade about 3
mm far from the workpiece in order to ensure the maximum safety degree.
Upper blade guide’s height (48) 1 must be adjusted:
- before any cutting, in order that it is adjusted according to workpiece’s height;
- after any modification of the saw blade or of the workbench (for example, after changing
or tensioning the saw blade, or after adjusting the workbench).
The upper blade guide with its protection (48) is locking of a knob (49). To adjust the height of
this blade guide, grip the blade guide with the left hand, unlocking knob (49) to adjust the
height of the upper blade guide in the desired position.Locking knob (49).
II. Saw blade’s lower protection FIG.6

This protection must be moved when you open the lower door. When you close this door this
protection must be replaced in its position to not to compromise general safety. Saw blade’s
lower protection must be always assembled when you are using the machine.
