FOREWORD
Put Safety First!
This Safety Section contains important information to help you work safely with your machine and describes
the dangers inherent to bandsaws. Some of these dangers are obvious, while others are less evident.
It really is important to PUT SAFETY FIRST. Make it a habit to consider the hazards associated with any action
BEFORE you do it. If you feel any uncertainty, stop and nd a safer approach to the action. If you’re still uncer-
tain, ask for advice from your supervisor.
The SAFETY FIRST approach is particularly necessary when you do something new, or different, and most
people instinctively recognize this, although impatience may still cause them to take unnecessary risks.
Danger also lurks in the routine task that we have done over and over. Here, familiarity, boredom, or tiredness
may lull us into unthinking, automatic repetition. Be alert for this, and when you feel it happening, stop and as-
sess your
situation. Review the safety hazards associated with what you are doing. That should get your brain working
again.
Certainly production is important, but if you think you’re too busy to put safety rst, think how much production
you’ll lose if you get hurt.
You owe it to yourself, your family, and your co-workers to PUT SAFETY FIRST.
