Safety Instructions for Metal Cutting
1.
BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with
dull, cracked or badly worn blade. Inspect
blades for cracks and missing teeth before
each use.
2.
HAND PLACEMENT. Never position fin-
gers or thumbs in line with the cut. Hands
could be crushed in vise or from falling
machine components.
3.
ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS. Do not
operate this bandsaw without blade guard
in place. Loose clothing, jewelry, long hair
and work gloves can be drawn into working
parts.
4.
BLADE REPLACEMENT. When replacing
blades, make sure teeth face toward the
workpiece. Wear gloves to protect hands
and safety glasses to protect eyes.
5.
WORKPIECE HANDLING. Always support
the workpiece with table, vise, or some
type of support fixture. Flag long pieces
to avoid a tripping hazard. Never hold the
workpiece with your hands during a cut.
6.
LOSS
OF
STABILITY.
workpieces may jeopardize machine sta-
bility and cause the machine to tip and fall
which could cause serious injury.
7.
POWER INTERRUPTION. Unplug machine
after power interruption. Machines without
magnetic switches can start up after power
is restored.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Like all
machines there is danger associated with the Model G9743. Accidents are frequently caused by
lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen
the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.
