Transport; Working Instructions - Scheppach HBS400 Original Bedienungsanleitung

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 artic-
ulated cover. When opening the cover, the machine
is switched off. Starting is possible only with closed
cover.

Transport

Caution: Pay attention to the weight of the machine
when lifting it and call upon the help of another person!
Use the transport equipment. Stand on the side of the
wheels. Pull the upper part of the machine towards you
so that the machine stands on the two wheels and can
be moved. Hold the machine by its frame (9).
Attention! Note the high centre of gravity of the
machine.
Attention! Never use separating safety guards to
lift or transport the unit.

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 cannot be applied suitably com-
pletely or comprehensively to every use. They cannot
treat every possible dangerous condition and must be
interpreted carefully.
• Connect the machine to a suction unit when working
in closed rooms.
• Loosen the sawband when the machine is not in op-
eration (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.
• In order to cut dovetail tenons and teeth or wedges,
swivel the saw table into the plus and minus position.
Ensure that the workpiece is guided safely.
• 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 cutting
round pieces.
• For safe work when transverse cutting, use the spe-
cial transverse cutting gauge accessory.
10.1 Performing longitudinal cuts (Fig. AD)
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
desired width.
• Lower the saw band guide (4) onto the workpiece.
(8.9)
• Switch on the saw.
• Press one edge of the workpiece against the longitu-
dinal 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
longitudinal 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 (ae) must always be stored within
reach, on the hook (ad) provided for this purpose on
the side of the saw (Fig. AB)
10.2 Angled cuts (Fig J + Fig. AE)
• In order to execute angled cuts parallel to the saw
band, it is possible to tilt the saw bench (7) forwards
from 0° - 45°.
• Release the locking handle (k).
