3.4 Safety Devices
Upper blade guard
The upper blade guard (34) 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 (35) 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 (36) 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.
