SAFETY HAZARD LABELS
The safety hazard labels attached to your machine represent important safety information to help you avoid personal injury
or death.
All supervisors, operators, and maintenance personnel must locate and understand the safety information associated with
each hazard label prior to operating or servicing the machine.
The safety hazard labels shown below are located at various positions on the machine to indicate possible safety hazards.
The location, and re-order part number of all the safety labels associated with this particular model of bandsaw are indicated
at the end of this section of the manual. It is important to replace any safety hazard label that becomes damaged or
illegible.
MOVING BANDSAW BLADE WILL CUT
Do NOT operate with guard removed.
Do NOT place hands or fingers near moving bandsaw blade.
For blade changing, always follow the proper Blade Changing Procedure, as given in Section 3 of
this manual.
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE INSIDE
Contact with high voltage may cause death or serious injury. Never perform
maintenance on, or near, electrical components until the machine’s electrical
power source has been disconnected. Lock-out power in accordance with your
company’s lock-out procedures before any such maintenance. The “Stop” or
“Emergency Stop” push button does not disconnect the machine’s power supply.
Hazardous voltage is still present in the machines electrical circuits.
The machine’s Electrical Disconnect Switch does disconnect voltage from the
machine’s circuits, however hazardous voltage is still present inside the main
electrical cabinet, on the infeed (line) side of the main fuses. Therefore keep hands and tools away from the infeed side of
the control panel main fuses. If these fuses need to be replaced, use a fuse puller.
Allow three minutes after locking-out power before opening any electrical enclosures. Your machine may be equipped with a
variable frequency drive that stores high voltage within its capacitors. Three minutes will allow sufficient time for this voltage
to safely discharge.
Never spray coolant directly at electrical components or cabinets.
PINCH POINT
Machine parts may move without warning because of another person initiating the motion. Keep hands clear of all labeled
pinch points, whenever the machine is running. Machine vises and bundling can exert great force and cause severe injury.
Keep hands clear of vises and work piece when the vises and bundling are opened or closed. Be aware that vise and bundling
closing or opening may result in potentially dangerous work piece movement.
Be aware also that the head swing either left or right, and the advancement or
retraction of the head may create potential pinch points.
