Electrical Safety
Lockout/Tagout refers to the complete isolation of equipment during maintenance or service work.
OSHA regulations 29 CFR 1910.147 and 1926.416 require the use of locks or tags as warning
devices to
ensure personnel are not injured from accidental machine start-ups. The BBM Block
Buster Mini Masonry saw is equipped with special designed switch cover that turns the power off
when closed and can be locked in the off position. The locking of the switch and
disconnection the power supply will isolate the machine during maintenance,
service, and when the machine is unattended.
To lockout the power switch:
1. Turn the machine off and close the switch cover.
2. Disconnect the power supply
3. Attach a small pad lock (key type) as shown in the photo to the left.
4. Lock and remove the key from the padlock.
5. Tag the machine as per local, OSHA, and your company’s requirements.
Position of Saw
1. To avoid the possibility of the receptacle getting wet, position the saw on one
side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the
receptacle or plug. The user should arrange a “Drip Loop” in the cord
connecting the saw to a receptacle. The “Drip Loop” is
that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or
the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent
water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with
the receptacle.
2. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DON’T unplug the
cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies
power to the tool. Then unplug and examine the plug for
the presence of water in the receptacle.
