Cleaning And Maintenance; Storage - Dexter HBS20X Traduction Des Instructions D'origine

• Always use the fence for straight cuts to keep the
workpiece from tipping or slipping away.
• When working on narrow workpieces with manual
feed, use the push stick.
• For diagonal cuts, place the saw bench in the ap­
propriate position and guide the workpiece on the
fence.
• Insure safe workpiece guidance.
• For arced and irregular cuts, push the workpiece
evenly using both hands with the fingers togeth­
er. Hold the workpiece with your hands on a safe
area.
• Use a pattern for repeated arced or irregular cuts.
• Insure that the workpiece does not roll when cut­
ting round pieces.
m Attention! Never remove loose splinters, chips
or jammed pieces of wood while the saw blade is
running.
• Switch off the machine to troubleshoot or remove
jammed pieces of wood. ­ Disconnect the main
power plug ­
• Refitting, including adjusting and measuring works,
and cleaning must be carried out only when the
motor is switched off. ­ Disconnect the main
power plug ­
• Before switching on again, ensure that keys and
adjustment tools have been removed.
10.1 Performing longitudinal cuts (Fig. A)
Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction.
• Position the longitudinal fence (5) on the left side (if
possible) of the saw band, in accordance with the de­
sired width.
• Lower the saw band guide (4) onto the workpiece. (8.11)
• Switch on the saw.
• Press one edge of the workpiece against the longitudi­
nal fence (5) with the right hand, whilst the flat side lies
on the saw bench (7).
• Slide the workpiece at an even feed rate along the lon­
gitudinal fence (5) into the saw band.
• Important: Long workpieces must be secured against
tipping at the end of the cutting process (e.g. with reel­
off stand, etc.)
• Attention! When processing narrower workpieces it is
essential to use a push stick.
The push stick (R) must always be stored within reach,
on the hook (j) provided for this purpose on the side of
the saw (Fig. 6).
10.2 Angled cuts (Fig. B+ Fig. 5)
• In order to execute angled cuts parallel to the saw
band, it is possible to tilt the saw bench (7) for­
wards from 0° ­ 45°.
• Release the locking handle (E).
• Tilt saw bench (7) forwards, until the desired angle
is set on the degree scale (I).
• Retighten the locking handle (E).
• Attention: With a tilted saw bench (7), the longitudi­
nal fence (5) must be positioned on the downward
facing side to the right of the saw band in the work­
ing direction (if the workpiece width allows this),
in order to secure the workpiece against slipping.
• Perform the cut as described under 10.1.
10.3 Freehand cuts (Fig. C)
One of the most important features of a band saw is
the ease with which it can cut curves and radii.

• Lower the saw band guide (4) onto the workpiece.
(8.11)
• Switch on the saw.
• Press the workpiece firmly onto the saw bench (7)
and slowly slide into the saw band.
• During freehand cutting you should always work
with a low advancing speed, so that the saw band
can follow the desired line.
• In many cases it is helpful to roughly saw curves
and corners approximately 6 mm from the line.
• If it is necessary to saw curves that are too tight
for the saw band used, auxiliary cuts must be sawn
up to the front face of the curve, so that these fall
off as wood waste when the final radius is sawn.
10.4 Executing cuts with the transverse cutting
gauge (Fig. D + Fig. 16)
• Set transverse cutting gauge (13) to the desired
angle (see 8.11)
• Perform the cut as described under 10.1.
Attention!
For all cutting operations, the upper saw blade guid­
ance (4) should be as close as possible to the work­
piece.
• To do this, open the adjustment handle for saw
blade safety device (13). (Fig. 1)
• Lower the upper saw blade guide (4) and the saw
blade guard (3) as close as possible to the workpiece.
• Subsequently close the adjustment handle for for
saw blade safety device (13).

11. Cleaning and maintenance

Important.
Warning! Prior to any adjustment, maintenance or
service work disconnect the mains power plug!
General maintenance measures
Wipe chips and dust off the machine from time to
time using a cloth. In order to extend the service life
of the tool, oil the rotary parts once monthly. Do not
oil the motor.
When cleaning the plastic do not use corrosive prod ­
ucts.
Cleaning
• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device immedi­
ately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or
solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the
equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the
device. The ingress of water into an electric tool i
creases the risk of an electric shock.
Maintenance
There are no parts inside the equipment which re­
quire additional maintenance.

12. Storage

Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry
and frost­proof place that is inaccessible to children.
