Additional Safety for Sawmills
Serious cuts, amputation, or death can occur from contact with the moving saw blade during
operation or if blade breakage occurs. Death or sickness can occur from carbon monoxide
poisoning if operating in an enclosed space. To reduce these risks, anyone operating this
machine MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.
BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with dull,
cracked, or badly worn blade. Inspect blades for
cracks and missing teeth before each use. When
replacing blades, always shut off engine, wear
gloves to protect hands and safety glasses to pro-
tect eyes, and ensure blade is installed with teeth
oriented in correct direction.
CORRECT USE. Do not mill lumber that exceeds
machine capacity or attempt to saw any mate-
rial other than lumber. Distribute load evenly
using approved supports and clamps to prevent
machine from tipping or lumber from rolling off
track. Excess or improper material increases the
risk of injury.
OPERATING AREA. Only operate sawmill on a
reasonably flat and level surface with space to
work around the machine. Be aware of potential
hazards in the work area such as other machin-
ery, lumber, and power lines above or below the
ground. Operating in a confined space increases
risk of injury.
FIRE HAZARD. Clean sawdust buildup around
engine and exhaust areas after each use. Do not
operate near flammable liquids, gasses, or dust.
Sparks can ignite dust or fumes. Do not operate
machine near open flame and never smoke dur-
ing operation.
OPERATING POSITION. Keep hands and feet
away from all moving parts and do not reach over
or across sawmill during operation. Never support
lumber by hand during operation. Use non-skid
safety shoes and hardhat as needed.
AMPUTATION/ENTANGLEMENT. Do not oper-
ate this sawmill without blade cover in place and
properly functioning limit switch. Loose clothing,
jewelry, long hair and work gloves can be drawn
into working parts.
ADEQUATE VENTILATION. The sawmill engine
produces carbon monoxide, which is a poisonous
gas. Make sure work area is adequately ventilated.
Never operate this machine in an enclosed area
such as a shed, garage, or basement. Do not oper-
ate machine near windows or doors where carbon
monoxide can be drawn into an occupied space.
HOT ENGINE. Engine and other parts of machine
get hot during operation. Contact with hot com-
ponents can cause severe burns. Allow engine
to cool before placing hands near engine, adding
fuel, or performing any service or maintenance.
MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. Always shut down
engine and wait for parts to come to a stop before
making adjustments, changing blade, or servicing
machine. Consult engine manual for proper shut
down procedure to prevent injury from accidental
startup.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents
are frequently caused by lack of familiarity
or failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to decrease the
risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre-
cautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies
to your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip-
ment, or poor work results.
