Blade thrust and its related hazards can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
◾
Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the machine and position your
arms to resist blade thrust. Position your body to the left side of the
machine. Blade thrust can increase the risk of injury due to the machine moving
unexpectedly. Blade thrust can be controlled by the operator if proper precautions
are taken.
◾
If the blade binds, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch the
machine off and hold the machine motionless in the material until the blade
comes to a complete stop. While the blade is binding, never attempt to
remove the machine from the material or pull the machine backward while
the blade is in motion, otherwise blade thrust may occur. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
◾
Do not use blunt or damaged blades. Blunt or damaged blades increase the
risk of jamming or catching on an object, resulting in blade thrust.
◾
Always maintain good visibility of the material being cut. Blade thrust is more
likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut.
◾
If you are approached by another person while operating the machine,
switch the machine off. There is an increased risk of injury to other persons
being struck by the moving blade in the event of blade thrust.
