Machine´s Safety Equipment; General - Husqvarna WS 440 HF Operator's Manual

General

This section describes the machine's safety equipment, its
purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried
out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the "What is
what?" section to locate where this equipment is positioned
on your machine.
WARNING! Never use a machine that has
!
faulty safety equipment! Safety equipment
must be inspected and maintained. See
instructions under the heading Checking,
maintaining and servicing the machine's
safety equipment. If your machine does not
pass all the checks, take it to a service
workshop for repair.
Blade guards
The blade guard must always be used when sawing. Make
sure the blade guard is in working order and that the outer
sections can be locked in place. Also check that the blade
guard guide is adjusted correctly and that the locking
mechanism in the blade guard guide for the saw is in working
order (see the adjusting the blade guard guide section).
Check that the blade is not in contact with the guard but is
centred in the blade guard.
Locking handle
Make sure the locking handle on the saw carriage is correctly
adjusted (see the adjust the saw carriage section) so that the
saw unit sits securely on the carriage. Check that the locking
pin can be fully inserted in the hole on the handle when in the
locked position.
End stop on the rail
Make sure that end stops are mounted on the ends of the rails
so that the saw does not come off the rails.
Power pack
Make sure to check the safety equipment on the supplied
power unit. See the power unit manual.
