2) Assemble the aluminium fence (D) along the square pipe by using the 2 flat head
screws, the 2 washers and the 2 wing nuts. This extrusion can be assembled in two
ways:
- On the wider side for cutting wide workpieces;
- One the thinner side for cutting thin workpieces.
To change the side you have to unfasten the two lock screws, let the fence slide, re-
assembled it according to the desired position and tighten the two screws.
c. 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
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).
