UNSTABLE. WORKPIECES. Avoid cutting work-
pieces 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 poi-
sonous. Always follow manufacturer's cutting-
fluid safety instructions. Pay particular atten-
tion to contact, contamination, inhalation,
storage and disposal warnings. Spilled cutting
fluid invites slipping hazards.
HOT. SURFACES. Contact with hot surfaces from
machine components, ejections of hot chips,
swarf, and the workpiece itself can cause
burns.
