Arbors of all circular saws shall be free from play.
Sharpening or tensioning of saw blades or cutters shall be done only by persons of demonstrated skill in this kind of work.
Emphasis is placed upon the importance of maintaining cleanliness around woodworking machinery, particularly as regards the effective functioning of guards and the prevention of fire hazards in switch enclosures, bearings, and motors.
All cracked saws shall be removed from service.
The practice of inserting wedges between the saw disk and the collar to form what is commonly known as a "wobble saw" shall not be permitted.
Push sticks or push blocks shall be provided at the work place in the several sizes and types suitable for the work to be done.
The knife blade of jointers shall be so installed and adjusted that it does not protrude more than one-eighth inch beyond the cylindrical body of the head. Push sticks or push blocks shall be provided at the work place in the several sizes and types suitable for the work to be done.
Whenever veneer slicers or rotary veneer-cutting machines have been shutdown for the purpose of inserting logs or to make adjustments, operators shall make sure that machine is clear and other workmen are not in a hazardous position before starting the machine.
Operators shall not ride the carriage of a veneer slicer.
