Transport; Working Instructions - Scheppach HBS261 Original Bedienungsanleitung

Only operate the device with a suitable extraction sys-
tem. Check and clean the suction channels at regular
intervals.

• To turn the machine on, press the green button „1"
On/Off switch (10).
• To turn the machine off again, press the red button
„0" On/Off switch (10).
• The band saw is equipped with an under voltage

switched back on again.
Attention!
When working with the machine, all protective devices
and guards must be fitted.
The upper and lower bandwheel is protected by a fixed
guard and an articulated cover. When opening the cov-

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 sawing 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 danger-
ous 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 no-
tice 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 cutting
round pieces.
• For safe work when transverse cutting, use the spe-
cial transverse cutting gauge accessory.
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 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 longi-
tudinal 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 (R) must always be stored within
reach, on the hook (j) provided for this purpose on
the side of the saw (Fig. 17).
