accordance with the provisions of Chapter 5 of GB/T 15706.1-2007 and GB/T 16856.1.
Identify and evaluate the dangers of sawing machines.
Note. for the dangers not involved in this Standard, safety measures shall be taken in
accordance with relevant provisions of GB/T 15706.2.
4.2 During danger analysis, special attention shall be paid on the dangers caused by the
operators and other personnel’s misuse, including.
— operating period of sawing machines;
— adjustment, cleaning and maintenance periods of sawing machines.
4.3 Major dangers of sawing machines
4.3.1 Mechanical danger
4.3.1.1 The danger of squeezing or cutting caused during clamping the work-piece or
changing the cutting tools.
4.3.1.2 The danger of squeezing between saw frame and operating vise, saw frame and
working bench, saw frame and upright rod, saw blades box and operating vise or upright
rod, saw arm and operating vise.
4.3.1.3 When saw frame, operating vise, saw blades box, saw arm and other parts are
lifted or shifted, the danger of cutting or squeezing between these parts and positioning
surface.
4.3.1.4 The sharp edges, sharp points and openings among components of sawing
machines that may cause cutting dangers to operators.
4.3.1.5 If the operators touch the working cutting tools with hands, it may cause cutting
dangers.
4.3.1.6 When the operators operate machines manually (such as during loading,
disassembling work-piece or measuring), if they are close to rotating cutting tools, it may
cause winding dangers.
4.3.1.7 Exposed gear, belt pulley, belt etc. that are easy to cause winding dangers.
4.3.1.8 When the units are shifted, exposed wires (turns), hydraulic pipes, cooling water
pipes etc. that may cause winding dangers due to the inappropriate fixing measures.
