Serious injury or death can occur from getting fingers, hair, or clothing entangled in rotating or
moving parts. Workpieces can be ejected by saw, striking operator or bystanders. Long-term
respiratory damage can occur from breathing metal dust created while cutting. To minimize risk
of injury, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
LOSS OF STABILITY. Unsupported workpieces
may jeopardize machine stability and cause the
machine to tip and fall, which could cause serious
injury.
COOLANT SAFETY. Always follow manufac-
turer’s coolant safety instructions. Pay particular
attention to contact, contamination, inhalation,
storage, and disposal warnings. Spilled coolant
invites slipping hazards.
ATTENTION TO WORK AREA. Never leave
a machine running and unattended. Pay atten-
tion to the actions of others in the area to avoid
accidents.
MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. All inspections,
adjustments, and maintenance are to be done
with the power OFF and the plug pulled from the
outlet. Wait for all moving parts to come to a com-
plete stop.
HEARING PROTECTION & HAZARDS. Noise
generated by blade and workpiece vibration,
material handling, and power transmission can
cause permanent hearing loss over time and
interfere with communication and audible signals.
HOT SURFACES. Contact with hot surfaces from
machine components, ejections of hot chips,
swarf, and the workpiece itself can cause burns.
HAND PLACEMENT. Never position fingers
or thumbs in line with the cut. Hands could
be crushed in vise or from falling machine
components.
ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS. Do not operate
this saw without blade guard in place. Loose
clothing, jewelry, long hair and work gloves can be
drawn into working parts.
BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with dull,
cracked, or badly worn blade. Inspect blades for
cracks and missing teeth before each use.
BLADE REPLACEMENT. When replacing
blades, disconnect the machine from power, wear
gloves to protect hands and safety glasses to
protect eyes.
FIRE HAZARD. Use EXTREME CAUTION if cut-
ting magnesium. Using the wrong coolant will lead
to chip fire and possible explosion.
WORKPIECE HANDLING. Always support the
workpiece with table, vise, or some type of sup-
port fixture. Flag long pieces to avoid a tripping
hazard. Never hold the workpiece with your hands
during a cut.
POWER INTERRUPTION. Unplug machine after
power interruption. Machines without magnetic
switches can start up after power is restored.
Additional Safety for Metal Cutting Saws
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Like all
machines there is danger associated with this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack
of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the
possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.
