III. Flywheels’ doors FIG.6
By opening the doors (22) you can get at the flywheels-pulleys to change the blade, remove
the sawdust which has piled up, change the speed by moving the belt on the pulleys. When
using the machine, these doors are safety devices that isolate moving parts that could be
dangerous.
To open and close the doors, give the locking devices a quarter of a turn by using a suitable
flat screwdriver.
IMPORTANT:
Bandsaw’s two doors must be always closed when the machine is in use. It is forbidden
to start the machine if these two doors are open.
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.
I. ON / OFF switch FIG.7
Start = push the green button (25).
Stop = push the red button (26).
In case of an interruption of the electrical energy, a “minimum voltage” relay inside the switch
stops the machine. This prevents from the start of the machine when the electrical energy
recovers. You must press the green button to re-start the saw that has stopped.
