Safety Instructions for Metal Cutting

Bandsaws

1.BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with a dull, cracked or badly worn blade that can break during operation or decrease the per- formance of the bandsaw. Inspect blades for cracks and missing teeth before each use.

2.BLADE REPLACEMENT. Wear gloves to protect hands and safety glasses to pro- tect eyes when replacing the blade. When installing the new blade, make sure teeth face forward and down toward the table in the direction of blade travel.

3.WORKPIECE HANDLING. Your hands can be drawn into the blade during operation if the workpiece moves unexpectedly. Always keep your hands a safe distance away from the moving blade.

4.CUTTING FLUID SAFETY. Cutting fluids are poisonous. Always follow manufactur- er’s cutting-fluid safety instructions. Pay particular attention to contact, contamina- tion, inhalation, storage and disposal warn- ings. Spilled cutting fluid invites slipping hazards.

5.FIRE HAZARD. Pure magnesium burns easily. Cutting magnesium with a dull blade can create enough friction to ignite the small magnesium chips. Avoid cutting magnesium if possible.

6.ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS. Always keep the blade guard correctly positioned and wheel doors closed and secured when bandsaw is in operation. Loose clothing, jewelry, long hair and work gloves can be drawn into working parts.

7.MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. All inspections, adjustments, and maintenance are to be done with the power OFF and the power disconnected. Wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop.

8.Hot Surfaces. Be aware that contact with hot surfaces from machine compo- nents, ejections of hot chips, swarf and workpiece can cause burns.

9.EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties per- forming the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Technical Support Department at (570) 546-9663.

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the pos- sibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious per- sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.
