Safety and Usage Guidelines
When running an automated machine tool, safety is of the utmost
importance. For proper and safe use of the FlashCut CNC program and
your CNC machine, the following safety guidelines must be followed:
1. Never let the machine tool run unattended.
2. Require any person in the same room as a running machine tool to
wear safety goggles, and to stay a safe distance from the machine.
3. Allow only trained operators to run the machine tool. Any operator
must have:
Knowledge of machine tool operation.
Knowledge of personal computer operation.
Knowledge of Microsoft Windows.
Good common sense.
4. Place safety guards around the machine to prevent injury from flying
objects. It is highly recommended that you build a safety shield
around the entire tool envelope.
5. Never place any part of your body within the tool envelope while the
machine is online, since unexpected machine movement can occur at
any time.
6. Always keep the tool envelope tidy and free of any loose objects.
7. Be on alert for computer crashes at all times.
