Additional Safety Instructions for Bandsaws

SAFETY

READ and understand this entire instruction manual before using this machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and fol- lowed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

USE this and other machinery with caution and respect. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. No list of safety guidelines can be complete—every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

1.BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with dull, cracked or badly worn blade. Inspect blades for cracks and missing teeth before each use.

2.HAND PLACEMENT. Never position fingers or thumbs in line with the cut. Hands could be crushed by falling machine components or cut by the blade.

3.ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS. Do not operate this bandsaw without blade guard in place. Otherwise, loose clothing, jewelry, long hair and work gloves can be drawn into working parts.

4.BLADE REPLACEMENT. When replacing blades, make sure teeth face toward the workpiece. Wear gloves to protect hands and safety glasses to protect eyes, and always disconnect from power.

5.WORKPIECE HANDLING. Always support the workpiece with table, vise, or other support fixture. Flag long pieces to avoid a tripping hazard. Never hold the workpiece with your hands during a cut.

6.LOSS OF STABILITY. Unsupported workpieces may jeopardize machine stability and cause the machine to tip and fall, which could cause serious injury.

7.POWER INTERRUPTION. Unplug machine after power interruption. Machines without magnetic switches can start up after power is restored.

8.FIRE HAZARD. Use EXTREME CAUTION if cutting magnesium. Using the wrong cutting fluid will lead to chip fire and possible explosion.

9.CUTTING FLUID SAFETY. Always follow manufacturer’s cutting fluid safety instructions. Pay par- ticular attention to contact, contamination, inhalation, storage and disposal warnings. Spilled cut- ting fluid is a slipping hazard and a toxicity hazard.

10.ATTENTION TO WORK AREA. Never leave a machine running and unattended. Pay attention to the actions of others in the area to avoid unintended accidents.

11.HEARING PROTECTION & HAZARDS. Noise generated by blade and workpiece vibration, material handling, and power transmission can cause permanent hearing loss over time and interfere with communication and audible signals. Always wear hearing protection.

12.HOT SURFACES. Due to friction, the workpiece, chips, and some machine components can be hot enough to burn you.
