STD 01-12-004 - Radial Saws - Labeling

This STD provides clarification for 29 CFR 1910.213(h)(5) - Woodworking machinery requirements; Caution labeling. Old STD number: STD 1-12.4 - Caution Labeling of Radial Saws. The intent of 29 CFR 1910.213(h)(5) must at all times prevail. The caution label must be located at the end of the guard at which the blade teeth exit the upper guard during the operation of the saw. Thus, the requirement concerning the location of the label, in Section 1910.213(h)(5), shall be deemed violated when (1) the label is omitted; or (2) it is placed anywhere but the end of the guard at which the blade teeth exit the upper guard during the operation of the saw.
