Remaining Hazards; Attachment And Operation - Scheppach HBS261 Original Bedienungsanleitung

7. Remaining hazards

The machine has been built using modern technolo-
gy in accordance with recognized safety rules. Some
remaining hazards, however, may still exist.
• Risk of injury for fingers and hands by the rotating
saw band due to improper handling of the work
piece.
• Risk of injury through the hurling work piece due
to improper handling, such as working without the
push stick.
• Risk of damaging your health due to wood dust and
wood chips. Wear personal protective cloth such
as goggles. Use a fitting dust extractor.
• Risk of injury due to defective saw band. Regularly
check saw band for such defects.
• Risk of injury for fingers and hands while changing
saw band. Wear proper gloves.
• Risk of injury due to starting saw band while
switching on the machine.
• The use of incorrect or damaged mains cables can
lead to injuries caused by electricity.
• Wear only close fitting clothes. Remove rings,
bracelets and other jewellery.
• For the safety of long hair, wear a cap or hair net.
Even when all safety measures are taken, some
remaining hazards which are not yet evident may
still be present.
• Remaining hazards can be minimized by follow-
ing the instructions in „General safety instructions"
„Proper Use" and in the entire operating manual.

8. Attachment and operation

Before starting the equipment
Make sure the machine stands securely, i.e. bolt it to
a workbench or solid base. There are two holes for
this purpose in the machine foot.
• The saw table must be mounted correctly.
• All covers and safety devices have to be properly
fitted before the machine is switched on.
• It must be possible for the blade to run freely.
• When working with wood that has been processed
before, watch out for foreign bodies such as nails
or screws etc.
• Before you actuate the On/Off switch, make sure
that the saw blade is correctly fitted and that the
machine's moving parts run smoothly.
• Before you connect the machine to the power sup-
ply, make sure the data on the rating plate is the
same as that for your mains.
8.1 Mounting the saw on a work bench (Fig. 3)
• A workbench made from solid wood is better than
one made of plywood, as interfering vibrations and
noise are more noticeable with plywood.

• The necessary tools and small parts for assem-
bling the saw on a workbench are not supplied
with the saw. However, use equipment of at least
the following size:
1 Saw body
2 Foam rubber base.
3 Work bench
4 Flat seal
5 Washer (7 mm)
6 Hexagonal nut (6 mm)
7 Lock nut (6 mm)
8 Hexagon head screws (6 mm)
• First of all, drill holes into the seating surface and
then insert the screws.
• A foam rubber base for reduction of noise is not
supplied with the saw either. However, we express-
ly recommend that you use such a base to keep
vibration and noise to a minimum. Ideal size 400
x 240 mm.
8.2 Assembling the work table (Fig. 4 - 6)
• Lay the table insert (a) in the recess in the work
table intended for this (7) (Fig. 4). (To replace, dis-
assemble the work table in reverse order.)
• Place the band saw blade through the slot on the
machine table. Place the machine table on the ta-
ble guide so that the fixing screw (b) fits through
the bracket (c). (Fig. 4.1+4.2)
• Screw the machine table tight with the quick re-
lease lever and a washer (E) (Fig. 4+5).
• Check that the bandsaw blade runs freely and
does not touch the table.
• Fit the bolt M6x40 with two washers and the nut to
the table. (Fig. 5.1)
• Using the adjustment screw (F) to adjust the table
to a right-angle. – Use a set square –
• Counter the adjustment screw (F) and tighten the
quick release lever (E).
• Set the scale pointer (G) to 0.
8.3 Fitting the table width enlargement (Fig.
7+7.1+7.2+7.3+7.4)
• Remove the two bolts and washers (d) from the
table width enlargement (6). (Fig. 7)
• Slide the table width enlargement (6) onto the table
mounted on the machine. Ensure that the clamping
lever (8) is open (Fig. 7.1+7.2).
• Push the table width enlargement fully onto the ta-
ble (Fig. 7.3) in order to fix the two bolts (d) on both
sides. (Fig. 7.4) Be sure to fit the bolts (d) on both
sides. The two bolts are used to limit the extension
of the table width enlargement.
8.4 Fitting the parallel stop (Fig. 8)
• Fit the parallel stop (5) by positioning it at the back
and fixing the clamping lever (K) in place down-
wards.
