1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Safety
If and when the Band Saw Model SI-315HD is not correctly used it is a potenally
DANGEROUS machine. Cleaning, maintenance and any other service in the machine shall
be carried out by duly trained people and with the plug o its socket. The instrucons
below must be always followed to avoid ACCIDENTS:
1.1.1 Take the electric plug o its socket, before to withdraw any moving part, before
cleaning, maintenance or any other kind of service.
1.1.2 Never use any kind of tools not belonging to the Saw to help during operaon.
1.1.3 Never touch the blade # 08 (Pic.01) when the saw is in operaon
1.1.4 Never wear loose clothes with wide sleeves mainly around the wrists during
operaon.
1.1.5 Never adjust the Thickness Guide # 13 (Pic.01) with the saw blade in movement.
1.1.6 Keep hands away from moving parts.
1.1.7 Never switch on the Saw with wet clothes or wet feet.
1.1.8 Ground machine properly during installaon.
1.1.9 The saw has a Thermal Protector for the motor protecon. Motor and the operator
are protected in case of over heang.
Therefore if the equipment suddenly STOPS, wait some minutes, and aer reset the
Thermal Protector pressing the Buon # 01 (Pic. 02)

3.3.1 Cauons with Stainless Steel:
The Stainless Steel may present rust signs, which ARE ALWAYS CAUSED BY EXTERNAL
AGENTS, especially when the cleaning or sanizaon 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 formaon of a very thin protecve coat. This
protecve coat is formed through the whole surface of the steel, blocking the acon of
external corrosive agents.
When the protecve 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 aer using the equipment. For such end, use
water, neutral soap or detergent, and clean the equipment with a so cloth or a nylon
sponge. Then rinse it with plain running water, and dry immediately with a so 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 soluons, salty soluons, disinfectants and some sterilizing soluons
(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 aack the stainless steel due to the CHLORINE on its composion,
causing corrosion spots (ping).
Even detergents used in domesc 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 protecon, leave parcles that rust and react
contaminang the stainless steel. That is why such products must not be used for cleaning
and sanizaon. Scrapings made with sharp instruments or similar must also be avoided.
Main substances that cause stainless steel corrosion:
Dust, grease, acid soluons such as vinegar, fruit juices, etc., saltern soluons (brine),
blood, detergents (except for the neutral ones), common steel parcles, residue of sponges
or common steel wool, and also other abrasives.

The following safety instrucons are addressed to both the operator of the machine as
well as the person in charge of maintenance.
The machine has to be delivered only in perfect condions of use by the Distributor to the
user. The user shall operate the machine only aer being well acquainted with the safety
procedures described in the present manual. READ THIS MANUAL WITH ATTENTION.
4.1 Basic Operaon Pracces
4.1.1 Dangers
Some areas of the electric device have parts that are connected or have parts connected
to high voltage. These parts when touched may cause severe electrical shocks or even be
lethal.
Never touch manual commands such as switches, buons, turning keys and knobs with
your hands wearing wet clothes and/or wet shoes. By not following these instrucons
operator could be exposed to severe electrical shocks or even to a lethal situaon.
4.1.2 Warnings
* The operator has to be well familiar with the posion of ON/OFF Switch to make sure the
Switch is easy to be reached when necessary.
* Before any kind of maintenance, physically remove plug from the socket.
* Provide space for a comfortable operaon thus avoiding accidents.
* Water or oil spilled on the oor will turn it slippery and dangerous. Make sure the oor
is clean and dry.
* Before using any commands (switch, buons, lever), be sure it is the correct one. In case
of doubt, consult this manual.
* Never touch any manual commands (switch, buons, lever) unadvisedly.
* If any work is to be made by two or more persons, coordinaon signs will have to be
given for each operaon step. Every step of the operaon shall be taken only if a sign has
been made and responded.
4.1.3 Advices
* In case of power shortage, immediately switch the machine o.
* Use recommended or equivalent lubricants, oils or greases.
IMPORTANT
If any recommendaon is not applicable to your equipment, please ignore it.
4. GENERAL SAFETY PRACTICES

16
* Avoid mechanical shocks, once they may cause damages or bad funconing.
* Avoid water, dirt or dust contact to the mechanical and electrical components of the
machine.
* DO NOT change the standard characteriscs of the machine.
* DO NOT remove, tear o or maculate any safety or idencaon labels stuck on the
machine. If any labels have been removed or are no longer legible, contact your nearest
dealer for replacement.
