Document Summary

This document outlines the safe work procedures for using a rotary saw, emphasizing training, proper preparation, and safety protocols. Pre-start checks include inspecting controls, air supply, and the dust extraction system, ensuring the blade's suitability and condition, and verifying that all safety guards are in place. Faulty equipment or unsuitable blades must not be used, and the dust extraction system should be maintained to prevent respirable dust hazards.

Operational guidelines focus on securing workpieces, using both hands during operation, and wearing appropriate PPE, including a dust mask, eye protection, hearing protection, and gloves. Maintenance procedures require isolating the machine before servicing, following manufacturer instructions, and using proper tools to avoid injuries. The importance of maintaining a clean workspace and guarding against fire hazards from fine sawdust is also emphasized. Only trained operators are permitted to use the machine.
