THE IMPORTANCE TO CHOOSE A FULLY HYDRAULIC BAND SAW All CARIF models 260/320/450 are completely Hydraulic: closure of the vice, bow feed and pressure. The Carif hydraulic patented system has been designed with 2 commands: BOW FEED and CUTTING PRESSURE.
CARIF reserves itself from eventual bad It is kindly suggested to familiarize with situations caused to people or damages the main functions reading carefully this caused to the machine without following manual.
