Additional Horizontal Metal Bandsaw Safety
Workpiece Handling.
Always properly support
workpiece with table, vise, or some type of
support fixture. Always secure workpiece in vise
before cutting. Never hold the workpiece with
your hands during a cut.
Unstable Workpieces.
Avoid cutting workpieces
that cannot be properly supported or clamped
in a vise or jig, 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, and those with
internal or built-in moving or rotating parts, etc.
Fire Hazard.
Use EXTREME CAUTION if cutting
magnesium. Using the wrong cutting fluid could
lead to chip fire and possible explosion.
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 slipping hazards.
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 hands or fingers
in line with the cut or under bandsaw
headstock while lowering or operating.
Hands could be cut or crushed.
Blade Guard Position.
Adjust blade guard as
close to workpiece as possible before cutting to
minimize operator exposure to unused portion
of blade.
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.
Hot Surfaces.
Contact with hot surfaces from
machine components, ejections of hot chips,
swarf, and the workpiece itself can cause
burns.
Serious injury or death can occur from getting fi ngers, hair, or clothing entangled in rotating or
moving parts or making direct contact with the moving blade. To minimize risk of injury, anyone
operating this machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
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 precautions
are overlooked or ignored, serious personal
injury may occur.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
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 equipment, or poor
work results.
