Transport; Working Instructions - PrimAster BS3000 Traduction De La Notice Originale

• Relieve the saw band tension with the clamping
screw (9), remove the band. Fig. 9
• Insert a new saw band.
Side correction (Fig. 9)
• The sawblade should run in the centre of the band
wheels.
• Turn the upper band wheel by hand in the cutting
direction, and make the side correction by means
of the handle (K).
• Attention! The saw band should run over the cen-
tre of the band wheel after multiple turns. Visual
inspection!
• Turn the band wheel by hand in the cutting direc-
tion while determining the final tension with the ten-
sion screw (9). The degree of tensioning depends
on the sawblade width. Wide sawblades must be
tensioned more than narrow ones.
• After successful setting firmly tighten the locknut
(M). Close the guard.
Attention: Too strong a tensioning will cause prema-
ture breaking.
• Fit the guide rail for the lengthwise aligning stop in
reverse order (Fig. 7+8)
• After termination of the work, always relieve the
tension by releasing tension bolt (9).
8.7 Storing the push rod (Fig. 15)
In order to have the push rod (N) to hand at all times,
hang it on the device (i) intended for this, at the top
left side of your band saw.
8.8 Transverse cutting gauge (optional) (Fig. 16)
• Slide lateral stop (j) into a groove (k) in the saw
bench.
• Release the grip screw (l).
• Turn the lateral stop (j) until the desired angular
dimension has been set. The arrow on the lateral
stop indicates the set angle.
• Retighten the grip screw (l).
• The stop rail (n) can be slid against the lateral
stop (j). To do so, loosen the knurled screws (m)
and slide the stop rail (n) into the desired position.
Tighten the knurled screws (m) again
• Attention! Do not slide the stop rail (n) too far in the
direction of the saw blade.
8.9 On/Off switch (Fig. 1)
• To turn the machine on, press the green button
„1" (8).
• To turn the machine off again, press the red but-
ton „0"(8).
• The band saw is equipped with an undervoltage
switch. With a power failure, the band saw must
be switched back on again.
Attention!
When working with the machine, all protective devic-
es and guards must be fitted.
The upper and lower bandwheel is protected by a
fixed guard and an articulated cover. When opening
the cover, the machine is switched off. Starting is
possible only with closed cover.

9. Transport

The machine must only be lifted and transported on
its frame or the frame plate. Never lift the machine at
the safety devices, the adjusting levers, or the saw-
ing table.
During the transport the saw blade protection must
be in the lowest position and near the table.
Never raise at the table!
Unplug the machine from the mains during transport.

10. Working instructions

The following recommendations are examples of the
safe use of band saws. The following safe working
methods should be seen as an aid to safety. They can-
not be applied suitably completely or comprehensively
to every use. They cannot treat every possible dan-
gerous condition and must be interpreted carefully.
• Connect the machine to a suction unit when working
in closed rooms. A suction device which conforms
with commercial regulations must be used for suc-
tion in commercial areas.
• Loosen the sawband when the machine is not in
operation (e.g. after finishing work). Attach a notice
on the tension of the saw band to the machine for
the next user.
• Collect unused sawbands and store them safely in
a dry place. Check for faults (teeth, cracks) before
use. Do not use faulty sawbands!
• Wear suitable gloves when handling sawbands.
• All protective and safety devices must be securely
mounted on the machine before beginning work.
• Never clean the sawband or the sawband guide with
a hand-held brush or scraper while the sawband is
running. Resin-covered sawbands impair working
safety and must be cleaned regularly.
• For your own protection, wear protective glasses
and hearing protection. Wear a hairnet if you have
long hair. Roll up loose sleeves over the elbows.
• Always position the sawband guide as near the
workpiece as possible when working.
• Insure sufficient lighting in the work area and
around the machine.
• 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 together.
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.
