SAFETY RULES
Observe these safety rules to prevent injuries and accidents. (The illustrations
may be partly different from the actual machine in detail.)
a) Never wear gloves and loose
clothing when operating the
machine. It is dangerous if
they are caught in the running
machine.
b) Use a water-soluble cutting
fluid on this machine.
Oil-based cutting fluids may
emit smoke or catch fire,
depending on the condition of
their use. Never use
oil-based cutting fluids on this
machine.
When cutting a large
workpiece, take care that the
cutting fluid does not flow
down the workpiece onto the
shop floor.

viii
c) Prohibit any use of fire in the
shop, and install a fire
extinguisher or other fire
control device near the
machine when cutting
titanium, magnesium, or any
other material that produces
flammable chips. Never
leave the machine unattended
when cutting flammable
materials.
d) Never cut on this machine
carbon or any other material
that produces and disperses
explosive dust. Sparks from
motors and other machine
parts may ignite and explode
the air-borne dust.
The machine needs special
measures for cutting explosive
materials (for details, consult
AMADA).
e) Confirm that the area around
the machine is cleared of
people and obstacles every
time before starting the
machine or operation.

ix
f) Set the MODE keyswitch at “ ” when installing or removing the saw blade,
or lubricating the saw blade tension slides and driven wheel bearing.
g) Never look directly into the
source of the laser beam.
You may lose your eyesight.
h) Never start the saw blade
unless it has been confirmed
that the work is firmly
clamped. If the work cannot
be securely clamped, be sure
to clamp it using jigs. It is
dangerous if the work falls or
rolls during cutting.
i) When cutting a thin piece from
the work, take preventive
measures to keep the cut
piece from falling. It is
dangerous if the cut piece
falls.
Take care also that the cut
piece may fall when the saw
blade guides are operated.

x
j) Never operate the machine with the wheel covers and other covers
removed or opened. It is dangerous if your hands or clothing are caught in
the running machine.
k) Never take your eyes off the
machine or lean on the
machine during operation.
Be ready for a situation that
demands immediate attention
to prevent an accident.
l) Never touch the running saw blade. It is
dangerous if your hands or clothing are caught
in the running saw blade.
m) Never try to change the wire brush on the saw blade or remove chips when
the saw blade is running. It is dangerous if your hands or clothing are
caught in the running saw blade.
