Version: 1.0

Updated: 1 December 2024

Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines the safe use and maintenance of mobile saw benches. Only trained and authorized personnel may operate the saw bench. General precautions include ensuring the working area is clear of trip hazards, protecting eyes and face from splinters and sawdust, and wearing appropriate PPE such as safety glasses, ear protection, gloves, and foot protection. Loose clothing, jewelry, and long hair must be secured to prevent entanglement.

Pre-start checks involve inspecting the blade for damage, ensuring guards are in place, and verifying the saw table moves freely. Operational guidelines emphasize securing the bench on level ground, stabilizing it before use, and avoiding forceful feeding of materials into the blade. For towing, the saw bench must be securely hitched, with stabilizer legs raised and lights operational. Maintenance tasks include cleaning cooling fins, inspecting and sharpening blades, and ensuring all moving parts operate freely. Adherence to these protocols ensures safe and effective operation of mobile saw benches.
