Additional Safety for Metal Bandsaws
Serious injury or death can occur from getting fingers, hair, or clothing entangled in rotating or
moving parts. Workpieces can be ejected by saw, striking operator or bystanders. Long-term
respiratory damage can occur from breathing metal dust created while cutting. To minimize risk
of injury, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
FIRE HAZARD. Use EXTREME CAUTION if cut-
ting magnesium. Using the wrong cutting fluid will
lead to chip fire and possible explosion.
CUTTING FLUID SAFETY. Always follow manu-
facturer’s cutting-fluid safety instructions. Pay
particular attention to contact, contamination,
inhalation, storage and disposal warnings. Spilled
cutting fluid invites slipping hazards.
ATTENTION TO WORK AREA. Never leave a
machine running and unattended. Pay attention
to the actions of others in the area to avoid unin-
tended accidents.
MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. All inspections,
adjustments, and maintenance are to be done
with the power OFF and the plug pulled from the
outlet. Wait for all moving parts to come to a com-
plete stop.
HEARING PROTECTION & HAZARDS. Noise
generated by blade and workpiece vibration,
material handling, and power transmission can
cause permanent hearing loss over time and
interfere with communication and audible signals.
HOT SURFACES. Contact with hot surfaces from
machine components, ejections of hot chips,
swarf, and the workpiece itself can cause burns.
BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with dull,
cracked or badly worn blade. Inspect blades for
cracks and missing teeth before each use.
HAND PLACEMENT. Never position fingers or
thumbs in line with the cut. Hands could be
crushed in vise or from falling machine compo-
nents.
ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS. Do not operate
this saw without blade guard in place. Loose
clothing, jewelry, long hair and work gloves can be
drawn into working parts.
BLADE REPLACEMENT. When replacing
blades, disconnect the machine from power, wear
gloves to protect hands and safety glasses to
protect eyes.
WORKPIECE HANDLING. Always support the
workpiece with table, vise, or some type of sup-
port fixture. Flag long pieces to avoid a tripping
hazard. Never hold the workpiece with your hands
during a cut.
LOSS OF STABILITY. Unsupported workpieces
may jeopardize machine stability and cause the
machine to tip and fall which could cause serious
injury.
POWER INTERRUPTION. Unplug machine after
power interruption. Machines without magnetic
switches can start up after power is restored.
