4.2Safety Devices
Upper blade guard
The upper blade guard (6) protects against
inadvertent contact with the saw belt and against
flying chips.
So that the upper saw belt cover provides sufficient
protection against contact with the saw belt, the
upper blade guide must be at least 3 mm from the
work piece.
Lower blade guard
The lower saw belt cover (8) protects against
inadvertent contact with the saw belt beneath the
sawing table.
The lower blade guard must be installed during
operation.
Housing doors
The housing doors (4) protect against contact with
the powered parts inside the saw.
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 (10) serves as an extension to the
hand and protects against inadvertent contact with
the saw belt.
The push stick must always be used if the distance
between the saw belt and a rip fence is less than
120 mm.
The push stick must be held at angle of 20° ... 30°
to the surface of the saw table.
Replace push stick if damaged.
Hang push stick from the holder (12) when not in
use.
