Safety
Sawing and splitting
The following safety mechanisms must be used
when working with circular saw blades or profile
cutters to produce multiples, during which
workpieces can be kicked back or accelerated in
feed direction:
Splitting wedges are advantageous and should be
used additionally.
However, they do not ensure sufficient safety
when used exclusively.
The distance between the anti-kickback fingers
elements and the workpiece surface must be no
more than 1 mm (0.039").
The anti-kickback fingers elements must move
easily and remain sharp-edged.
Application
Cutting workpieces into two or more parts with a saw or multiple
profile cutter running in the opposite direction.
The workpieces are held securely by the transport rollers after
being split.
Cutting workpieces into two or more parts with a saw or multiple
profile cutter running in the opposite direction.
The workpieces are not held securely by the transport rollers
after being split.
For example:
• Multiple profiling operations in which
the bars could tilt after being profiled.
• Narrow slats
• Cutting off remnants on the outer side
Cutting with saws or multiple profiling tools running in the same
direction.
Requisite safety mechanism
