Installation - STARTRITE 352E Original Instruction Manual

2.5 PRESCRIBED USE OF THE MACHINE
The machine was designed for cutting solid wood, wood derivatives, materials similar to cork, hard rubber and hard plastic materials using suitable blades.
THESE MACHINES MUST NOT BE USED TO CUT OTHER MATERIALS
THESE MACHINES MUST NOT BE USED TO CUT METALS
2.6 HAZARDS
ATTENTION Bandsaws still present risks that cannot be eliminated by the manufacturer. Therefore the user must be aware that wood working machines are
dangerous if not used with care and all safety precautions adhered to.

3. Installation

3.1 LIFTING
The machine can be lifted using a fork-lift truck,
placing the forks under the feet or by using a
"SLING", as shown, with a lifting capability of
2000 Kg.
3.2 POSITIONING THE MACHINE
For a correct and rational organisation of the work area:
• Install the machine in an area that will not amplify vibration or noise.
• Ensure that the work area has adequately lighting.
• When placed between other machinery there should be a space of at least 80 cm. It is necessary to anticipate sufficient space for cutting long work
pieces traversely and for the fitting of rollers or other types of support in front and at the rear of the table.
There are four holes for fixing the machine to the floor. When fixing to the floor it is recommended not to over tighten the fixtures to avoid increasing
vibration. It is also advisable to place anti-vibration materials between the floor and the base of the machine.
NOTE: Due to the height of the machine, the centre of gravity will also be high causing the machine to be unstable or top heavy. The machine, where
possible should always be fixed directly to a solid floor using appropriate fixings for the type of floor.
Extra care should be taken when moving the machine to ensure that it cannot fall. Always ensure that machine is fully supported and operators stand well
clear whilst the machine is moved.
3.3 DUST EXTRACTION
The machine must be connected to an
adequate dust extraction system. Diameter of
the extraction tubes and connecting positions
on the machines are indicated.
1, Necessary Airflow = 460m 3 /h
2, Pressure drop at each dust extraction
connection outlet at the conveying air
velocity = 530Pa
3, Recommended conveying air velocity = 20m/s
