Important Safety Instructions
The Shapeoko is a machine tool and requires the same caution that should be exercised with any power tool.
Eye Protection
Always wear safety glasses or goggles which are suitably impact resistant.
Hearing Protection
Always wear ear plugs or ear muffs. For long jobs, it may be desirable to wear both. Hearing damage is cumulative and
irreversible, so one should always err on the side of caution.
Respiratory Protection
Always wear a filter or respiratory mask suitable for the type of dust generated by the material being cut. If necessary,
arrange for dust collection and proper ventilation.
Clothing, Hair, and Jewelry
Always ensure that clothing, hair, and jewelry cannot become caught in the machine. Always wear appropriate
clothing: long-sleeved shirts, pants, and suitable footwear are recommended. When doing metal-working, gloves and
an apron are also recommended.
Machine Safety
Never reach into the machine’s working envelope
while it is running. Always shut off and unplug the router to perform
tool changes, adjustments, and maintenance. Never leave the machine running unattended. Always inform someone
before operating the machine and check in with them after successfully completing work. Never allow children to use
the Shapeoko XXL unsupervised.
Fire Prevention
Consider the possibility of a fire caused by friction from the router and take suitable fire prevention precautions (e.g.
having a fire extinguisher handy and other suitable precautions).
Outlet Requirements
Plug the router into an outlet that has a dedicated on/off switch. Be sure this is accessible while the machine is
running, in case you should need to shut the Shapeoko XXL off immediately.
End Mill Safety
Use care when handling end mills
—
both to avoid being cut and to avoid damaging them. Handling end mills with
suitable gloves, or using a cloth to avoid contaminating them, is recommended. Inspect end mills carefully before each
use and ensure that they are securely held by the collet.
Debris Disposal
Recycle or safely dispose of milling debris and dust, keeping in mind flammability, (potential) spontaneous combustion,
and chemical considerations. Even natural materials can have surprising disposal implications. For example, walnut
wood dust is allelopathic (it inhibits plant growth), an irritant to the skin and respiratory tract, and potentially
poisonous to some animals. All of these possible disposal implications are in addition to the spontaneous combustion
hazard posed by all types of sawdust.
