Machine mounting – Do not operate the machine
unless mounted to a workpiece in accordance
with this manual. If mounting the machine in an
overhead or vertical position, do not remove
hoist rigging until the machine is mounted to
the workpiece in accordance with this manual. In any mounting position, verify that the
machine is tethered and mounted so that if the
machine slips or rotates, no injury or damage
will occur.

ISK ASSESSMENT AND HAZARD MITIGATION
Machine Tools are specifically designed to perform pre-
cise material-removal operations.
Stationary Machine Tools include lathes and milling
machines and are typically found in a machine shop.
They are mounted in a fixed location during operation
and are considered to be a complete, self-contained
machine. Stationary Machine Tools achieve the rigidity
needed to accomplish material-removal operations from
the structure that is an integral part of the machine
tool.
Portable Machine Tools are designed for on-site machin-
ing applications. They typically attach directly to the
workpiece itself, or to an adjacent structure, and
achieve their rigidity from the structure to which it is
attached. The design intent is that the Portable Machine
Tool and the structure to which it is attached become one complete machine during the material-removal pro-
cess.
To achieve the intended results and to promote safety,
the operator must understand and follow the design
intent, set-up, and operation practices that are unique
to Portable Machine Tools.
The operator must perform an overall review and on-
site risk assessment of the intended application. Due to
the unique nature of portable machining applications,
identifying one or more hazards that must be addressed
is typical.
When performing the on-site risk assessment, it is
important to consider the Portable Machine Tool and the
workpiece as a whole.
