4. General Safety Practices
The safety rules were made to orient and to instruct users of the band
saw, and the peaple who will be responsible for its maintenance.
The band saw shall only be delivered to the user in good use conditions,
and the user shall be instructed by the dealer, obout how to use safely the band
saw.
The user shall only operate the band saw after complete knowledgement
of the cares to be taken,after reading carefully the present instruction manual.
To assemble the head internal components follow the below sequence
Picture - 03
01- Head
02- Fiber Washer
03- Worm
04- Worm Pin
05- Cutting Knife
06- Cutting Plate ( 5 mm or 8 mm )
07- Locking Ring
To disassemble follow the inverse sequence.
IMPORTANT
Do not tighten the Locking Ring too much , to avoid the internal components to
brake or being stuck .
3.4 Cleaning
To do cleaning proceed as follows:
3.4.1 Switch the machine off and unplug the machine from power supply
source.
3.4.2 Remove the Locking Ring Nº08 (Pic.02) or No.07 (Pic. 03) and all the
Head internal components.
3.4.3 Loosen the handle located on the right side of the Head Nº08 (Pic.01)
to remove the Head No 06 (Pic 01) .
3.4.4 Wash all components with running warm water and neutral soap.
3.4.5 To assemble the Head follow the above sequence inversely.

3.4.6 Cautions with Stainless Steel:
The Stainless Steel may present rust signs, which ARE ALWAYS CAUSED
BY EXTERNAL AGENTS, especially when the cleaning or sanitization is not
constant and appropriate.
The Stainless Steel resistance towards corrosion is mainly due to the
presence of chrome, which in contact with oxygen allows the formation of a very
thin protective coat. This protective coat is formed through the whole surface of the
steel, blocking the action of external corrosive agents.
When the protective coat is broken, the corrosion process begins, being
possible to avoid it by means of constant and adequate cleaning.
Cleaning must always be done immediately after using the equipment. For
such end, use water, neutral soap or detergent, and clean the equipment with a soft
cloth or a nylon sponge. Then rinse it with plain running water, and dry immediately
with a soft cloth, this way avoiding humidity on surfaces and especially on gaps.
The rinsing and drying processes are extremely important to prevent stains and
corrosion from arising.
IMPORTANT
Acid solutions, salty solutions, disinfectants and some sterilizing solutions
(hypochlorites, tetravalent ammonia salts, iodine compounds, nitric acid
and others), must be AVOIDED, once it cannot remain for long in contact
with the stainless steel:
These substances attack the stainless steel due to the CHLORINE on its
composition, causing corrosion spots (pitting).
Even detergents used in domestic cleaning must not remain in contact with
the stainless steel longer than the necessary, being mandatory to remove it with
plain water and then dry the surface completely.
Use of abrasives:
Sponges or steel wool and carbon steel brushes, besides scratching the
surface and compromising the stainless steel protection, leave particles that rust and
react contaminating the stainless steel. That is why such products must not be used
for cleaning and sanitization. Scrapings made with sharp instruments or similar
must also be avoided.
Main substances that cause stainless steel corrosion:
Dust, grease, acid solutions such as vinegar, fruit juices, etc., saltern
solutions (brine), blood, detergents (except for the neutral ones), common steel
particles, residue of sponges or common steel wool, and also other abrasives.
