6.3 Advice for the Operator
Protective eyewear or goggles must be worn at all times while attending and
operating the saw.
Steel capped boots must be worn at all times while operating the saw
Do not attempt to operate the machine unless blade safety guard is in place. Do
not place hands in the saw guard area during operation. Lift the guard to access the
cutting zone.
Ensure that hands and arms are kept well clear of the guarded cutting zone
when the machine is operating.
Always disconnect the power and compressed air supply to the machine before
carrying out any maintenance work or adjustments
. This includes the cases of
abnormal operations of the machine.
Any maintenance work performed on the pneumatic or coolant systems must
be carried out only after the pressure in the system has been released.
The Operator must not conduct any risky operations or those not required in the
course of normal cutting (e.g. remove swarf from the machine while cutting).
Always keep the machine working area clean . Always check that there are no tools
or material left on the feeder and saw operation zones.
Ensure that the material being cut is gripped securely by the vice clamps as
well as supported by the saw back fence
.
Do not use cutting blades of different sizes to those recommended
to the
machine’s specifications. Always follow safe practices and inspection procedures
when installing blades.
When cutting very short lengths ensure that cuts can not fall into table
openings or get jammed during feeding in other ways.
