7.6 Dust collector connec-

tion

Danger!

Some types of saw dust (e.g. of

oak, beech and ash wood) can cause

cancer when inhaled: always use a

dust collector when working indoors

(required air speed at the saw's suc-

tion connector ≥ 20 m/s).

Caution!

Operation without a dust col-

lector is only possible:

− outdoors;

− for short-term operation

(up to max. 30 minutes);

− with dust respirator.

− If no dust collector is used chips

will accumulate, which need to be

removed periodically.

Connect dust collector or industrial vac-

uum with a suitable adaptor to the dust

extraction port.

7.7 Mains connection

Danger! High voltage

• Operate saw in dry environment

only.

• Operate saw only on a power

source matching the following

requirements (see also “Techni-

cal Specifications”):

− mains voltage and system fre-

quency conform to the voltage

and frequency shown on the

machine's name plate;

− fuse protection by a residual

current operated device (RCD)

of 30 mA sensitivity;

− outlets properly installed,

earthed and tested.

− Three-phase outlets with neu-

tral wire.

Note:

Check with your local Electricity

Board or electrician if in doubt whether

your house service connection meets

these requirements.

• Position power supply cable so it

does not interfere with the work

and is not damaged.

• Protect power supply cable from

heat, aggressive liquids and

sharp edges.

• Use only rubber-jacketed exten-

sion cables with sufficient lead

cross-section (3 x 1.5 mm

• Do not pull on power supply

cable to unplug.

Changing the direction of rota-

tion (machines with three-phase

motor only):

Depending on the phase sequence of

the electric supply it is possible the

saw blade will turn in the wrong direc-

tion. This can lead to the workpiece

being hurled away when attempting

to make a cut. The direction of rota-

tion must therefore be checked every

time the saw is connected to another

outlet.

In case of an incorrect direction of

rotation, the wiring of the outlet must

be changed by a qualified electrician:

1. After the saw and all of its safety

devices have been assembled, con-

nect it to the mains supply.

2. Start saw and switch OFF immedi-

ately.

3. Observe the correct rotational direc-

tion of the band saw blade: In the

cutting area the band saw blade

must run downwards.

4. If the saw blade runs in the wrong

direction, unplug the power cable at

the saw's connector.

5. Have the electric supply changed by

a qualified electrician!

Danger!

To reduce the risk of personal

injury as much as possible, the fol-

lowing safety recommendations

should be observed when operating

the saw.

• Use personal protection gear:

− dust respirator;

− hearing protection;

− safety goggles.

• Cut only one workpiece at a time.

• Always hold the workpiece down

on the table.

• Do not jam the workpiece.

• Do not attempt to stop the band

saw blade by pushing the work-

piece against its side.

• If the type of work requires, use

the following:

− push stick – if distance rip

fence – band saw blade less

than 120 mm;

− work support – for long stock,

which would otherwise fall off

the table on completion of the

cut;

− dust collector;

− an appropriate jig when cutting

round stock, to keep it from

turning;

− a suitable guide for firm sup-

port when cutting thin stock

layed on edge.

• Before starting work, check to

see that the following are in

proper working order:

− band saw blade;

− upper and lower blade guard.

• Replace damaged parts immedi-

ately!

• Assume correct work position

(the band saw blade's teeth must

point towards the operator).

• Never cut several workpieces at

the same time – and also no bun-

dles containing several individual

pieces. Risk of personal injury if

individual pieces are caught by

the saw blade uncontrolled.

Drawing-in/trapping hazard!

• Do not wear loose clothing, jewel-

lery, or gloves, which may get

caught and wound up by revolv-

ing machine parts.

• Contain long hair with a hairnet.

• Never cut stock to which ropes,

cords, strings, cables and wires

are attached or which contain

such materials.
