4.2.1.
Danger of catching
This kind of risk is present when position of machine is being changed, as a result of operating
near rotating parts.
During operation, maintenance and regulations always wear protective gloves, shoes and
clothes without loose parts, belts and so on. Always comply with safety decals placed on the machine.
4.2.2.
Danger of cutting limbs off
Any contact of circular blades with hands leads to their amputation, and contact with body may be
fatal. Also operating without necessary caution or performing any inadmissible processing, e.g. moving
the saw perpendicularly to the cutting blades' plane may also cause such injuries.
4.2.3.
Danger of injury and abrasion
This risk is present when replacing working parts with sharp edges, cleaning the machine,
removing the clogging and jams. During any maintenance and repair works, always wear safety gloves.
4.2.4.
Danger of kick
Throwing
out is one of the most dangerous phenomena, which are likely to occur when operating
circular saw. It is described as uncontrolled, sudden and very quick motion of an object or part of it
being treated (splinter, knurl, etc.). Direct impact of the material against human body may cause,
depending on this material weight and size, as well as speed and the impact location, bruises, injections,
loss of an eye, teeth, or even death due to damage to organs and vast internal hemorrhages.
4.2.5.
Danger of damaging hearing
Of all non-mechanical threats, the most serious is the noise which usually exceeds the admissible
levels in excess for a normal 8-hour working day. For this reason, ear protection must always be used.
4.2.6.
Danger of irritation to the respiratory tract
Lesser threat when cutting is also a dusty atmosphere as emission of significant fractions of fine
chips and dust. The operator thus should operate in a tight cabin with proper airflow.
4.2.7.
Danger of liquid ejection out of hydraulic system
When connecting/disconnecting hydraulic hoses to and from tractor's hydraulic connectors make
sure that both tractor's and circular saw's hydraulics are pressure free, otherwise leak of oil under
pressure of approx. 16 MPa may occur. It also applies to damaged hoses. Therefore, when operating
hydraulic assembly, always wear protective gloves and eyewear. Inspect hydraulic hoses regularly.
4.3.
Bans
BANS!
Bear in mind the following bans when operating the circular saw.
