Grizzly H6246 Additional Safety Instructions for Meat Saws, If AT ANY Time if YOU are

Additional Safety Instructions for Meat Saws

1.BLADE INSPECTION. Inspect blades before each use. DO NOT operate with dull or badly worn blade. Dull blades require more effort and are difficult to control.

2.HAND PLACEMENT. Never position fin- gers or thumbs in line with the cut. Serious personal injury could occur.

3.GUARDS. DO NOT operate this saw with- out blade guards in place.

4.SANITIZATION/CLEANING. Always sani- tize and clean the saw thoroughly before and after cutting meat.

5.USDA REGULATIONS. If you are not familiar with safe meat handling techniques, then contact your local Board of Health or the USDA for proper sanitary practices.

6.BLADE REPLACEMENT. When replacing blades, make sure teeth face down toward the table. The force of the cut is always down towards the table. Make sure the blade is properly tensioned.

7.SUPPORTING CUTS. Cuts should always be fully supported by the table or some type of support fixture.

8.STALLED BLADE. Turn the saw off before attempting to "free" a stalled saw blade.

9.BLADE SPEED. Blade should be running at full speed before beginning a cut.

10.FEED RATE. Always feed material even- ly and smoothly. Do not force or twist blade while cutting, especially when sawing through bone.

11.BLADE CONTROL. Allow blade to come to a complete stop before leaving it unat- tended. DO NOT attempt stop or slow blade.

12.MAINTENANCE/ADJUSTMENTS. All inspections, adjustments, and maintenance are to be done with the power OFF and the plug pulled from the outlet. Wait for all mov- ing parts to come to a complete stop.

13.HABITS—GOOD AND BAD—ARE HARD TO BREAK. Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become second-nature to you.
