CHECK SAWMILL/BLADES BEFORE OPERATION
DANGER!
Make sure all guards and covers are in place and
secured before operating the sawmill. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury.
WARNING!
Blade guide alignment is essential for optimal cutting
performance, blade life and safety. Failure to check and maintain
proper blade guide alignment will result in stress cracks forming in
the blade. These cracks will lead to premature blade breakage.
If the blade breaks during operation and the blade has multiple
stress cracks, the blade could shatter into several pieces and
escape from the protective guards of the sawmill. Small blade
pieces projected into the area around the sawmill creates a safety
hazard for the operator and any bystanders surrounding the mill.
WARNING!
DO NOT use blades with stress cracks. Blades with
stress cracks can shatter causing bodily injury and/or machine
damage.
KEEP PERSONS AWAY
DANGER!
Keep all persons out of the path of moving equipment
and logs when operating sawmill or loading and turning logs.
Failure to do so will result in serious injury.
DANGER!
Always be sure all persons are out of the path of the
blade before starting the motor. Stop the motor immediately when
any person is nearby the sawmill. Failure to do so will result in
serious injury.
DANGER!
To make access to the sawmill difficult for bystanders,
mount a fence around the machine. The fence should be 1.8 m
high and should be mounted at least 1.4 m away from the sawmill.
