PART 3 SAFETY & ACCIDENT PREVENTION
Ensure that the specimen being cut is
secured firmly
in the vice
clamps & the machine has been correctly set. Figure below show
some examples of how to correctly clamp different specimen pro-
files. Before commencing the cut, be sure the vice(s) is securely
clamped & the machine set-up is correct.
Always
turn off
the machine before carrying out any
repair work
.
Consult the
Brobo Group Engineering Department
in the country
in which the machine was initially purchased
If the blade jams during a cut, activate the
emergency stop
func-
tion immediately.
Do not
continue
forcing
the blade through. This
could damage the blade, the specimen or be a cause for potential
injury to the operator.
When cutting very small specimens, ensure that the workpiece
is
not dragged behind the back fence
support, where it could get
lodged behind the blade.
Do not use cutting blades of different sizes to those recommend-
ed to the machine’s specifications. Always follow
safe practices
& inspection procedures
when installing blades.
