Additional Safety for CNC Routers
UNDERSTAND ALL CONTROLS. Make sure
you understand the function and proper use of all
controls before starting. This will help you avoid
making mistakes that result in serious injury.
AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. DO NOT wear
loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry, and tie back
long hair. Keep all guards in place and secure.
Always allow spindle to stop on its own. DO NOT
stop spindle using your hand or any other object.
WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Always wear safety
glasses. This provides protection for your eyes
from wood chips or broken cutting tools.
USE CORRECT SPINDLE SPEED. Follow
recommended speeds and feeds for each size
and type of cutting tool. This helps avoid injury
risk from tool breakage during operation and
ensures best cutting results.
FIRE HAZARD. To reduce risk of fire, always use
recommended feeds and speeds for cutting tool
and workpiece type, and avoid operations that
dwell in the workpiece. Be aware of signs of fire.
Chips and dust collection can disguise embers
and smoke. Prepare a fire safety plan and ensure
it is practiced by all operators. Never operate
machine unattended unless workspace has a
lights-out fire prevention system.
INSPECT CUTTING TOOL. Inspect cutting tools
for sharpness, chips, or cracks before each use.
Replace dull, chipped, or cracked cutting tools
immediately.
You can be seriously injured or killed by getting clothing, jewelry, or long hair entangled with
rotating cutter/spindle. You can be severely cut or have fingers amputated from contact with
rotating cutters. You can be blinded or struck by broken cutting tools, wood chips, workpieces,
or adjustment tools thrown from the rotating spindle with great force. To reduce your risk of
serious injury when operating this machine, completely heed and understand the following:
PROPERLY SECURE CUTTER. Firmly secure
cutting tool so it does not fly out of spindle during
operation.
PROPERLY COLLECT DUST. Only use dust
collector to clear chips while spindle is turning.
DO NOT clear chips by hand—use a brush or
shop vacuum when spindle/axes are NOT turning
or moving.
SECURE WORKPIECE TO TABLE. Clamp
workpiece to table, so workpiece cannot
unexpectedly shift or spin during operation.
NEVER hold workpiece by hand during operation.
PROPERLY MAINTAIN MACHINE. Keep machine
in proper working condition to help ensure that it
functions safely and all guards and other compo-
nents work as intended. Perform routine inspec-
tions and all required maintenance. Never operate
machine with damaged or worn parts that can
break or result in unexpected movement during
operation.
DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. To reduce
risk of electrocution or injury from unexpected
startup, make sure CNC router is turned
OFF,
disconnected from power, and all moving parts
are completely stopped before changing cutting
tools or performing any inspection, adjustment, or
maintenance procedure.
REMOVE SPINDLE TOOLS. Always remove
wrenches and other tools used on the spindle
immediately after use. This will prevent them from
being thrown by the spindle upon startup.
