Maintenance And Cleaning - Altrad Lescha BSL Série Notice Originale

Pushing stick
The pushing stick serves as enlargement of the hand
and protects against accidental touching of the saw band.
When do you have to use the pushing stick?
− When the distance between saw band and parallel
stopper is less than 120 mm.
− In case of straight cuts against the parallel stopper.
Hang in the pushing stick in case of non-use in the
mounting on the side of the device.
Do not use the pushing stick when it is damaged and
replace the pushing stick immediately.
Adjusting the saw band coping
The saw band coping (12) protects against accidental
touching of the saw band and flying sawdust.
The height of the saw band coping must be adjusted:
− Before sawing, to adapt to the work piece height
− After changes of saw band (i.e. clamping or replacing saw
band, adjusting saw table)
The distance between saw band coping and work piece
must be 3 mm that there is a sufficient protection against
touching the saw band.
Adjusting:
The required position of the saw band coping (12) can be
adjusted with the adjusting wheel (13).
Cutting round work pieces
Cutting round timber is not allowed with the standard feeding
assistances. When cutting round timber use a special device
which safes the work piece from skewing.
Edgewise cutting of plain work pieces
When sawing edgewise plain work pieces a suitable stop
angle for a safe guidance must be used.
Cutting narrow workpieces
(Width less than 120 mm)
Push the work piece with both hands forwards, within the saw
band zone use the pushing stick.
Cutting wide workpieces
With the flat of the hand and the fingers closed, push the work
piece to be cut along the stop.
Cutting long workpieces
Secure long workpieces against dropping down when
finishing the cutting process. Use roller supports or similar
devices for this purpose.
The sawing process
1. Select and adjust parallel stopper (9) and saw table incline
corresponding to the cutting type.
22
When sawing with parallel stopper and inclined
saw table the work piece can cant. The parallel stopper
must therefore be fixed on the downwards inclined side of
the saw table.
3. Adjust distance between saw band coping and work piece
to 3 mm.
4. Put work piece on the saw table.
5. Put in power plug.
6. Switch on saw.
7. Saw through work piece in one work step.
Hint:
Make always a test cut to be able to correct the
adjustment.
8. Switch off saw when it is not intended to go on sawing.

Maintenance and cleaning

Before each maintenance and cleaning work
− switch off device
− wait for stop of saw
− pull out power plug
Further maintenance and cleaning works than described in this
chapter shall only be carried out by the manufacturer or
companies named by the manufacturer.
For maintaining and cleaning, removed security devices must
unconditionally be mounted properly and proved again.
Use only original parts. Other parts can result in unexpected
damages and injuries.
Cleaning
Observe the following to maintain the functionality of the
saw.
Do not wash down device with water.
Remove splints and sawdust only with a brush or vacuum
cleaner.
Clean and oil all moving parts regularly.
Never use any grease!
Use for instance sewing machine oil, liquid hydraulic
fluid or environmentally acceptable spray oil.
Provide that the saw band stays rust-free and resin-free.
Remove all resin residues from the saw bench top.
Resin residues can be removed with a commercial
maintenance and care spray.
Treat the surface of the saw table after cleaning with an
anti-blocking agent.
The saw band is a wearing part and becomes edgeless
after longer or more frequent use respectively.
Renew then the saw band.
