G9744Z Metal Cutting Bandsaw
Additional Safety Instructions for Metal
Cutting Bandsaws
8. FIRE HAZARD. Use EXTREME CAUTION
if cutting magnesium. Using the wrong cut-
ting
fluid will lead to chip fire and possible
explosion.
9. CUTTING
FLUID SAFETY. Always follow
manufacturer’s cutting
fluid safety instruc-
tions. Pay
particular attention to contact,
contamination, inhalation, storage and dis-
posal
warnings. Spilled cutting fluid is a
slipping hazard and a toxicity hazard.
10. ATTENTION
TO WORK AREA. Never
leave a machine running and unattended.
Pay attention to the actions of others in the
area to avoid unintended accidents.
11. MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. All inspec-
tions,
adjustments, and maintenance are
to be done with the machine OFF and
the
power disconnected to the machine. Wait
for all moving parts to come to a complete
stop.
12. HEARING
PROTECTION & HAZARDS.
Noise generated by blade and workpiece
vibration, material
handling, and power
transmission can cause permanent hear-
ing
loss over time and interfere with com-
munication
and audible signals. Always
wear hearing protection.
13. H
OT SURFACES. Due to friction, the
workpiece, chips, and some machine com-
p
onents can be hot enough to burn you.
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 by falling
machine components or cut by the blade.
3. ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS. Do
not
operate this bandsaw without blade guard
in place. Otherwise, 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 sup-
port
the workpiece with table, vise, or other
support
fixture. Flag long pieces to avoid a
tripping hazard. Never hold the workpiece
with your hands during a cut.
6. L
OSS OF STABILITY. Unsupported
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 G9744Z. 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.
