4.4 Safety devices
Upper blade guard
The upper blade guard (37) protects
against unintentional contact with the
saw blade and from chips flying about.
In order for the upper blade guard to provide adequate protection against contact
with the band saw blade, it must always
be set as close as possible against the
workpiece (max. distance 3
18
mm).
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
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 pro
vided at the band saw frame.
Replace the push stick if damaged.
mm.
In the event of a power failure an undervoltage relay will trip. This prevents the
starting of the machine when the power
is restored. To restart, the green switch
button must be pressed.
Turn-lock fastener, housing door
Open and close the housing door using
the turn-lock fastener (41).
Opening the housing door:
1. Rotate the upper turn-lock fastener
clockwise approx. one turn and the
lower turn-lock fastener anticlock
-
wise approx. one turn.
The housing door opens slightly.
This activates the door interlock
which switches the motor off.

5. Transport
• Set upper blade guide to its lowest
position.
• Remove projecting accessories.
