BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with dull,
cracked or badly worn blade that can break dur-
ing operation or decrease the performance of the
bandsaw. Inspect blades for cracks and missing
teeth before each use.
BLADE REPLACEMENT. Wear gloves to protect
hands and safety glasses to protect eyes when
replacing the blade. When replacing blade, make
sure teeth face forward and down toward the table
in the direction of blade travel.
WORKPIECE HANDLING. Your hands can be
drawn into the blade during operation if the
workpiece moves unexpectedly. Always keep
your hands a safe distance away from the moving
blade.
FIRE HAZARD. Use EXTREME CAUTION if cut-
ting magnesium. Using the wrong cutting fluid will
lead to chip fire and possible explosion.
WELDING AND GRINDING SAFETY. The weld-
ing station represents a serious burn hazard. DO
NOT touch any metal parts of the blade, welder,
or machine when activating the welder. Keep your
hands a safe distance away from the grinding
wheel when in use.
HOT SURFACES. Be aware that touching hot
workpieces or chips after welding, grinding, or
cutting can cause burns.
CUTTING FLUID SAFETY. Cutting fluids are
poisonous. Always follow manufacturer’s cutting-
fluid safety instructions. Pay particular attention
to contact, contamination, inhalation, storage and
disposal warnings. Spilled cutting fluid invites slip-
ping hazards.
ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS. Always keep the
blade guard correctly positioned and wheel doors
closed and secured when bandsaw is in opera-
tion. Loose clothing, jewelry, long hair and work
gloves could be pulled into the blade or moving
parts, resulting in lacerations or amputation.
MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. Perform all inspec-
tions, adjustments, and maintenance with the
power
OFF and the plug pulled from the outlet to
prevent unexpected start up. Wait for all moving
parts to come to a complete stop before starting.
UNSTABLE WORKPIECES. Workpieces that
cannot be supported or stabilized without a vise
or jig should not be cut on a vertical metal-cutting
bandsaw, because they can unexpectedly move
while cutting and draw the operator's hands
into the blade causing serious personal injury.
Examples are chains, cables, round or oblong-
shaped workpieces, workpieces with internal or
built-in moving or rotations parts, etc.
Additional Safety for
Metal-Cutting Bandsaws
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents
are frequently caused by lack of familiarity
or failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to decrease the
risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre-
cautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies
to your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip-
ment, or poor work results.
