SAFETY

Understanding Risks of Machinery

Operating all machinery and machining equipment can be dangerous or relatively safe depending

on how it is installed and maintained, and the operator's experience, common sense, risk awareness,

working conditions, and use of personal protective equipment (safety glasses, respirators, etc.).

The owner of this machinery or equipment is ultimately responsible for its safe use. This

responsibility includes proper installation in a safe environment, personnel training and usage

authorization, regular inspection and maintenance, manual availability and comprehension,

application of safety devices, integrity of cutting tools or accessories, and the usage of approved

personal protective equipment by all operators and bystanders.

The manufacturer of this machinery or equipment will not be held liable for injury or property

damage from negligence, improper training, machine modiﬁ cations, or misuse. Failure to read,

understand, and follow the manual and safety labels may result in serious personal injury, including

amputation, broken bones, electrocution, or death.

The signals used in this manual to identify hazard levels are as follows:

Death or catastrophic

harm WILL occur.

Moderate injury or ﬁ re

MAY occur.

Death or catastrophic

harm COULD occur.

Machine or property

damage may occur.

electrically powered equipment while it

is connected to the power source greatly

increases the risk of injury from accidental

startup. Always disconnect power

BEFORE any service or adjustments,

including changing blades or other tooling.

Secure Workpiece/Tooling: Loose workpieces,

cutting tools, or rotating spindles can

become dangerous projectiles if not

secured or if they hit another object during

operation. Reduce the risk of this hazard

by verifying that all fastening devices are

properly secured and items attached to

spindles have enough clearance to safely

rotate.

Chuck Keys or Adjusting Tools: Tools used to

adjust spindles, chucks, or any moving/

rotating parts will become dangerous

projectiles if left in place when the machine

is started. Reduce this risk by developing

the habit of always removing these tools

immediately after using them.

Work Area: Clutter and dark shadows increase

the risks of accidental injury. Only operate

this item in a clean, non-glaring, and well-

lighted work area.

Properly Functioning Equipment: Poorly

maintained, damaged, or malfunctioning

equipment has higher risks of causing

serious personal injury compared to

those that are properly maintained.

To reduce this risk, always maintain

this item to the highest standards and

promptly repair/service a damaged or

malfunctioning component. Always follow

the maintenance instructions included in

this documentation.

Unattended Operation: Electrically powered

equipment that is left unattended while

running cannot be controlled and is

dangerous to bystanders. Always turn the

power OFF before walking away.

Health Hazards: Certain cutting fluids and

lubricants, or dust/smoke created when

cutting, may contain chemicals known to

the State of California to cause cancer,

respiratory problems, birth defects,

or other reproductive harm. Minimize

exposure to these chemicals by wearing

approved personal protective equipment

and operating in a well ventilated area.

Difﬁ cult Operations: Attempting difficult

operations with which you are unfamiliar

increases the risk of injury. If you

experience difficulties performing the

intended operation, STOP! Seek an

alternative method to accomplish the

same task, ask a qualified expert how the

operation should be performed, or contact

our Technical Support for assistance.

SAFETY

Additional Horizontal Metal Bandsaw Safety

Workpiece Handling. Always properly support

workpiece with table, vise, or some type of

support fixture.

Always secure workpiece in vise

before cutting. Never hold the workpiece with

your hands during a cut.

Unstable Workpieces. Avoid cutting workpieces

that cannot be properly supported or clamped

in a vise or jig, because they can unexpectedly

move while cutting and draw the operator’s

hands into the blade causing serious personal

injury. Examples are chains, cables, round

or oblong-shaped workpieces, and those with

internal or built-in moving or rotating parts, etc.

Fire Hazard. Use EXTREME CAUTION if cutting

magnesium. Using the wrong cutting fluid could

lead to chip fire and possible explosion.

Cutting Fluid Safety.

Cutting fluids are poisonous.

Always follow manufacturer’s cutting-fluid

safety instructions. Pay particular attention

to contact, contamination, inhalation,

storage and disposal warnings. Spilled

cutting fluid invites slipping hazards.

Blade Condition. Do not operate with dull,

cracked, or badly worn blade. Inspect blades

for cracks and missing teeth before each use.

Hand Placement. Never position hands or fingers

in line with the cut or under bandsaw

headstock while lowering or operating.

Hands could be cut or crushed.

Blade Guard Position. Adjust blade guard as

close to workpiece as possible before cutting to

minimize operator exposure to unused portion

of blade.

Entanglement Hazards. Do not operate this saw

without blade guard in place. Loose clothing,

jewelry, long hair and work gloves can be drawn

into working parts.

Blade Replacement. When replacing blades,

disconnect the machine from power, wear gloves

to protect hands and safety glasses to protect

eyes.

Hot Surfaces. Contact with hot surfaces from

machine components, ejections of hot chips,

swarf, and the workpiece itself can cause

burns.

Serious injury or death can occur from getting ﬁ ngers, hair, or clothing entangled in rotating or

moving parts or making direct contact with the moving blade. To minimize risk of injury, anyone

operating this machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.

Like all machinery, there is potential danger

when operating this machine. Accidents are

frequently caused by lack of familiarity or

failure to pay attention. Use this machine with

respect and caution to decrease the risk of

operator injury. If normal safety precautions

are overlooked or ignored, serious personal

injury may occur.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete.

Every shop environment is different. Always

consider safety first, as it applies to your

individual working conditions. Use this and

other machinery with caution and respect.

Failure to do so could result in serious

personal injury, damage to equipment, or poor

work results.

-10-

For Machines Mfd. Since 10/22

South Bend Tools

Model SB1122 SAFETY

Additional Hydraulic System Safety

Do Not Operate with Leaks. Immediately stop

machine and depressurize hydraulic system

if a leak is discovered or suspected. Operating

hydraulic system with leaks may increase

the hazard of the situation and damage the

machine.

Component Replacement. Only use high-pressure

hydraulic hose and steel hydraulic fittings with

compatible threads when replacing components

in the hydraulic system. DO NOT overtighten

or use soft metal fittings such as brass or

aluminum.

Depressurize for Maintenance. Always

depressurize hydraulic system before

performing any service or maintenance. Always

stop machine and disconnect power before

relieving hydraulic pressure. Verify hydraulic

pressure is at 0 PSI before proceeding with

maintenance.

Preventing Leaks. Always support and restrain

hydraulic hoses to minimize friction during

operation that could lead to machine damage

that may result in serious injury. Regularly

inspect and perform maintenance on the

hydraulic system. Following a regular schedule

will decrease the likelihood of damage to the

machine and reduce the risk of associated

hazards.

Injection Injuries. Immediately seek medical

attention if injection injury occurs. Leaking

hydraulic fluid often has enough pressure to

penetrate skin, which can lead to infection,

amputation, or death. Hydraulic fluid can

enter the skin through small wounds that

are barely noticeable. Minimizing the time

between injury and removal of the injected

material is critical to successful treatment.

Check For Leaks. Never use your hands to check for

hydraulic leaks. Small leaks can be invisible to

the naked eye. Use a piece of wood or cardboard

to find suspected leaks.

Eye Injuries. Safety glasses may not be sufficient

to protect against pressurized hydraulic

fluid. Depressurize hydraulic system before

approaching a known leak.

Fluid Contamination. Make sure hydraulic system

maintenance is performed in a clean and

dust-free work area. Remove all contaminants

from near hydraulic system openings and

components prior to maintenance, to prevent

debris from entering the hydraulic system.

Always use lint-free rags when cleaning

components. Contaminated hydraulic fluid

may damage the machine and cause hydraulic

system failure that can result in serious injury

or death.

Infection, amputation, or death can result from contact with leaking hydraulic ﬂ uid under high

pressure. Additionally, leaking hydraulic ﬂ uid is a serious slip hazard and ﬁ re hazard. To reduce

these risks, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings

below.

length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may

result—especially if connected to an undersized

circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards,

avoid overloading the machine during operation

and make sure it is connected to a power supply

circuit that meets the requirements in the

following section.

The full-load current rating is the amperage

a machine draws at 100% of the rated output

power. On machines with multiple motors, this is

the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum

of all motors and electrical devices that might

operate at one time during normal operations.

Full-Load Current Rating

Full-Load Current Rating .................. 10 Amps

For your own safety and protection of property,

consult an electrician if you are unsure about

wiring practices or applicable electrical codes.

Note: The circuit requirements in this manual

are for

a dedicated circuit—where only one

machine will be running at a time. If this

machine will be connected to a shared circuit

where multiple machines will be running at

the same time, consult a qualified electrician to

ensure the circuit is properly sized.

Electrocution or fire may

occur if machine is not

correctly grounded and

attached to the power

supply. Use a qualified

electrician to ensure a safe

power connection.

Before installing the machine, consider the

availability and proximity of the required power

supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet

the requirements for this machine, a new circuit

must be installed.

To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire,

or equipment damage, installation work and

electrical wiring must be done by a

n electrician

or qualified service personnel

in accordance with

applicable electrical codes and safety standards.

Grounding Requirements

This machine must be grounded! In the event

of

certain types of malfunctions or breakdowns,

grounding provides a path of least resistance

for electric current

in order to reduce the risk of

electric shock.

This machine is equipped with a power cord

that has

an equipment-grounding wire and a

grounding plug

(similar to the figure below).

The plug

must only be inserted into a matching

receptacle (outlet)

that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and

ordinances.

DO NOT modify the

included plug or use an

adapter if it will not fit your

receptacle. Instead, have a

qualified electrician install

the proper receptacle on a

power supply circuit that

is grounded and meets

the requirements for this

machine.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The

wire with green insulation (with or without

yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire.

If repair or replacement of the power cord or

plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-

grounding wire to a live (current carrying)

terminal.

Check with an electrician or qualiﬁ ed service

personnel if you do not understand these

grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt

about whether the tool is properly grounded.

If you ever notice that a cord or plug is

damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and

immediately replace it with a new one.

Extension Cords

Minimum Gauge Size ............................14 AWG

Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) ....50 ft.

We do not recommend using an extension cord

with this machine. If you must use one, only

use it if absolutely necessary and only on a

temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may

damage electrical components and shorten motor

life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord

size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller

(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine

must contain a ground wire, match the required

plug and receptacle listed in the

Circuit

Requirements

for the applicable voltage, and

meet the following requirements:

Cleaning & Protecting

The unpainted surfaces are coated at the factory

with a heavy-duty rust preventative that

prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.

The beneﬁ t of this rust preventative is that it

works very well. The downside is that it can be

time-consuming to thoroughly remove.

Be patient and careful when cleaning and

removing the rust preventative. The time spent

doing this will reward you with smooth-sliding

parts and a better appreciation for the proper

care of the unpainted surfaces.

Although there are many ways to successfully

remove the rust preventative, the following

process works well in most situations.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (citrus-based degreasers

work well and have non-toxic fumes)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

1. Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.

2. Coat surfaces that have rust preventative

with cleaner/degreaser and let them soak for

few minutes.

3. Wipe off surfaces. If cleaner/degreaser is

effective, rust preventative will wipe off

easily.

Note: To clean thick coats of rust preventative

on ﬂ at surfaces, like beds or tables, use

PLASTIC paint scraper to scrape off most of

coating before wiping it off with rag. (Do not

use metal scraper or it may scratch surface.)

4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,

then coat all unpainted surfaces with quality

metal protectant or light oil to prevent rust.

Many cleaning solvents are toxic if

inhaled. Minimize risk by using these

products in well-ventilated area.
