Garrick BS712 Instruction Manual page 4

1) The temperature of the environment should range from 5°to 40°.
2) The relative humidity should be within 30%~95%.
3) The altitude should not be higher than 1000M.
4) In transiting and storing condition, the machine should be kept within the temperature between
-25°and 55°.
26. The power supply must be installed with undervoltage protecting facility.
27. The power supply must be installed with overvoltage protecting facility.
28. Guarding gloves, glasses and earplugs of PPE is needed when operating the saw.
29. The oil in use should be void of any poison and danger.
30. Before any maintenance the power plug has to be removed from the supply socket.
31. WARNING: Attach all protective parts before operating this saw.
★WARNING
1. Keep machine guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for
maintenance purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately.
2. Do not over reach. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against
blades or other moving parts.
3. Replace warning labels if they become obscured or removed.
4. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation, and
"horse-play" are careless acts that can result in serious injury. Never leave tool running
unattended. Turn power off. Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
5. Always keep hands and fingers away from the blade when the machine is running.
6. Never hold the material with the saw in the horizontal position. Always use the vise and clamp
it securely.
7. Read and understand warnings posted on the machine.
8. Keep the belt guard and wheel covers in place and in working order.
9. Always provide adequate support for long and heavy material.
10. In urgent circumstances, the oil jar should be closed immediately to keep away from accident.
11. Never clean the saw blade or band wheel of a band saw using a hand-held brush or scraper
whilst the saw blade is in motion.
12. Adjust and position the blade guide arm before starting the cut. Keep blade guide arm tight. A
loose blade guide arm will affect sawing accuracy. Make sure that blade tension and blade
tacking are properly adjusted. Recheck blade tension after initial cut with a new blade. To
prolong blade life always release blade tension at the end of each workday. Make sure blade
speed is set correctly for material being cut.
13. Check coolant daily: low coolant level can cause foaming and high blade temperatures. Dirty
or weak coolant can clog pump, cause crooked crust, low cutting rate and permanent blade
failure. Dirty coolant can cause the growth of bacteria with ensuing skin irritation.
14. When cutting magnesium never use soluble oils or emulsions (oil-water mix) as water will
greatly intensify any accidental magnesium chip fire. See your industrial coolant supplier for
specific coolant recommendations when cutting magnesium.
15. Stop the machine before removing workpieces.
