PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators, it is
advisable to establish a Safety Zone around shop machi-
nery. A clearly defined “no-go” zone on the floor around
each machine can help avoid accidents that could
cause injury to either the operator or the shop visitor. It is
advisable to take a few moments to either paint (using
non-slip paint) or using tape, define on the floor the limits
or perimeter of each machines safety zone. Take steps to
ensure that all operators and shop visitors are aware that these areas are off limits whenever a machine is running
for everyone but the individual operating the unit.
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP
This machine should be installed and operated only
on a solid, flat and stable floor that is able to support
the weight of the bandsaw and the operator. Using the
di-mensions shown as a guideline, plan for placement
within your shop that will allow the operator to work
unencumbered and unobstructed by foot traffic (either
passing shop visitors or other shop workers) or other tools
or machinery.
