PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators, it is
advisable to establish a Safety Zone around shop machi-
nery. A clearly defined “no-go” zone on the floor around
each machine can help avoid accidents that could cau-
se injury to either the operator or the shop visitor. It is advi-
sable to take a few moments to either paint (using non-
slip paint) or using tape, define on the floor the limits or
perimeter of each machines safety zone. Take steps to
ensure that all operators and shop visitors are aware that
these areas are off limits whenever a machine is running
for everyone but the individual operating the unit.
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP
This machine should be installed and operated only on
a solid, flat and stable floor that is able to support the
weight of the bandsaw 398 lbs (181 kg) and the opera-
tor. Plan for placement within your shop that will allow
the operator to work unencumbered and unobstructed
by foot traffic (either passing shop visitors or other shop
workers) or other tools or machinery.
The protective coating on the saw table prevents rust
from forming during shipping and storage. Remove it
by rubbing with a rag dipped in kerosene, mineral spir-
its or paint thinner. (Dispose of potentially flammable
solvent-soaked rags according to manufacturer’s safe-
ty recommendations.)
A putty knife, held flat to avoid scratching the surface,
may also be used to scrape off the coating followed
by clean-up with solvent. Avoid rubbing the saw’s paint-
ed surfaces, as many solvent-based products will remo-
ve paint.
To prevent rust, apply a light coating of paste wax or use
regular applications of any after-market surface protec-
tant or rust inhibitor.
CLEAN UP
Tip: With a screw driver, push a solvent-saturated rag into the T-slot to remove the grease.
