When using a steel bar cutting machine, you need to pay attention to the following issues to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation:
Safety preparation:
Operators should wear personal protective equipment such as hard hats, goggles, masks, and gloves to prevent debris or sparks generated during the cutting process from posing a threat to personal safety.
Make sure there are no other workers or debris around the cutting area to prevent dangerous situations during the cutting process.
Machine inspection:
Before operation, check whether the blade has cracks, whether the tool holder bolts are tight, and whether the protective cover is secure. Then, carry the pulley by hand, check the gear, and adjust the blade gap.
Make sure the cutting machine is in good working condition, dry and intact to avoid accidental injuries caused by machine failure.
Cutting operation:
When the machine does not reach the normal speed, cutting is not allowed. When cutting, the middle and lower part of the blade must be used to cut.
When cutting material, the distance between the hand and the knife edge must not be less than 15 cm. When the movable blade advances, feeding is prohibited.
It is forbidden to cut steel bars exceeding the mechanical load capacity. When cutting low-alloy and other special steel bars, high-hardness blades should be used.
Special personnel should be assisted when cutting long steel bars, and the movements must be consistent during the operation, and no dragging is allowed; when cutting short steel bars, casings and pliers must be used to clamp the material, and materials must not be fed directly by hand.
A discharge table should be set up next to the cutting machine. It is strictly forbidden to use hands to directly remove short ends and debris near the knife edge during mechanical operation. Non-operators are not allowed to stay in the steel bar swing range and near the knife edge.
speed control:
The operator should adjust the speed of the cutting machine appropriately according to the hardness and size of the cutting steel bars to avoid danger caused by excessive speed.
Work area:
When using a rebar cutting machine, the surrounding work area should be kept tidy and clutter and obstructions removed to ensure the operator's safety and freedom of movement.
Maintenance and care:
After using the steel bar cutting machine, the machine should be cleaned and maintained in time to keep the machine in good condition and extend the service life of the machine.
Operating specifications:
Operators must carefully read and master the instructions, and correctly install and operate the cutting knife and machine.
The cutting position should be a certain length longer than the design drawings or specifications to facilitate subsequent processes.
Avoid direct contact with the surface of the steel bar with the cutting knife of the cutting machine during the cutting process to avoid patterns and other adverse effects.
