Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure (SWP) outlines the safe operation, preparation, and maintenance of angle notchers, emphasizing adherence to manufacturer instructions and ensuring the machine is used within its designed metal gauge limits. General precautions include maintaining clean work areas to prevent slips from sheet metal offcuts and using collector bins for waste.

Preparation involves isolating the power or compressed air supply, inspecting blades for damage, setting guides to the correct angles, and ensuring proper lubrication. During operation, users must handle sharp-edged metal pieces carefully, wear gloves and eye protection, and keep hands clear of cutting zones. Maintenance procedures require disconnecting power sources before changing blades, avoiding the use of compressed air for cleaning, and wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize risks from cuts or flying debris. These guidelines ensure safe and effective use of angle notchers.
