8. PREPARING THE BANDSAW
8.4 RIP FENCE – FIG. 5
Attach the rip fence (11) to the rip fence rail as
shown to secure the fence.
When the rip fence is against the blade in its
vertical configuration ensure the scale reads ‘0’
through the window. If not loosen wing bolts (31)
and adjust accordingly.
The rip fence can be set up for left and right
handed cuts and the wing nuts (11.1) can be
loosened to change the rip fence into a horizontal
configuration for thin cuts.
8.5 DUST EXTRACTION OUTLET –
FIG. 6
Note: Inhalation of dust particles can be
detrimental to your health. The dust outlet (20)
must be connected with a dust extraction machine.
Note: Due to the outlet diameter, a size adaptation
may be necessary. All wood dust [including dust
from composites like chipboards and fibre boards
etc.] is hazardous to health; it can affect the nose,
the respiratory system and the skin for example
MDF [medium density fibreboard] which can
contain formaldehyde [a known carcinogen].
In addition to the above measures a correctly fitted
dust mask, suitable for the activity and in
accordance to the relevant standard, must be
worn. For work activities involving exposure to fine
wood dust a mask rated to at least FFP2 should
be used.
8.6 DUST TRAY – FIG. 7
Insert the dust tray (27) into the slot in the base of
the saw.
