Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure (SWP) outlines the safe operation, preparation, and maintenance of aluminium saws, which are exclusively designed for cutting aluminium or other soft metals. It mandates the use of blades specifically designed for this purpose and emphasizes pre-start checks, including ensuring the work area is clear, inspecting the blade for damage, and cleaning vice or clamp surfaces to securely hold workpieces.

Operational guidelines require users to handle materials carefully, wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as eye, face, and hearing protection, and avoid compressed air for cleaning. Maintenance procedures involve switching off and unplugging the machine before cleaning or replacing blades, ensuring the blade is correctly fitted, and maintaining clean work surfaces. The SWP highlights the importance of proper handling to prevent injuries from sharp or rough edges and keeping the work area safe and organized to mitigate risks.
