6. Dust Extraction
All bandsaws should be used only with suitable dust extraction equipment
connected.
The minimum advisable air speed is 20 m/s for wood with a humidity of less
than 12%. For wood with greater humidity it is advisable to increase the air
speed to 25-28 m/s.
Capacity: Approximately 600 m3/h.
Pressure drop at each dust extraction connection outlet at the conveying air
velocity: 530 Pa.
7. Installation and Operation
Installation Zone Characteristics
It is prohibited to install the machine in explosive environments.
The installation zone must be selected evaluating the work space required
depending on the dimension of the pieces to be machined,and taking
into account that a free space of at least 800 mm must be left around the
machine.It is also necessary to check The floor capacity and its surface, so
that the machine base is evenly resting on its four supports.A power outlet
and a chip-suction system connection shall be closeto the selected machine
setting and it must be conveniently lighted.
Lifting
The machine can be lifted using a fork-lift truck, placing the forks under the
feet or by using a “SLING”, as shown in Fig 7.1, with a lifting capability of
2000 Kg.
Positioning The Machine
For correct and rational organisation of the work area:
• Install the machine in an area that will not amplify vibration or noise
• Verify that the work area is adequately illuminated.
• When placed between other machinery there should be a space of at least
80 cm. It is necessary to anticipate sufficient space for cutting long work
pieces traversly and for the fitting of rollers or other types of support,in
front and at the rear of the table.
There are four holes for fixing the machine to the floor. When fixing to the
floor it is recommended not to over tighten the fixtures to avoid increasing
vibration.It is also advisable to place anti-vibration materials between the
floor and the feet of the machine.
