SERVICE THE MACHINE SAFELY
Review all safety information provided with your
machine before servicing the machine. Additionally,
important safety information which the service
technician should be aware of is located throughout
this safety section.
•
Turn off the machine's power and lock it out before
adjusting, servicing, or cleaning the saw.
•
Read and understand a service procedure before
performing the service.
•
Never lubricate or service the machine while it is
running. Keep your body, clothing, and tools away
from power-driven parts.
•
The machine may have automated movements
which can cause the blade, vises, shuttle, powered
rollers, ejectors, saw column and other parts to go in
motion without action by the operator. Become
familiar with the machine's operation before
operating the controls.
•
Turning off the machine's main electrical
disconnect switch does not remove electrical power
from the input side of the machine's main fuses. To
eliminate all electrical power at the machine, turn
off the machine's electrical supply circuit at your
facility's circuit breaker and lock it out.
•
Some parts, particularly malfunctioning hydraulic
parts and parts subject to high friction, can become
hot. Allow the machine to cool before servicing.
•
Whenever possible, avoid climbing on any of the
machine's components. If it is necessary to climb on
the machine's components, such as the saw table,
use extreme care!
Always turn the machine's
power off and lock it out before climbing on the
saw table.
Cutting fluids and saw chips can make
the table's surface slippery. Always maintain a safe
footing, a firm hand hold, and never jump off the
machine.
