3.1
Machinery General Safety Warnings
1. Always wear protective eye wear when
operating machinery. Eye wear shall be impact
resistant, protective safety glasses with side
shields which comply with ANSI Z87.1
specifications. Use of eye wear which does not
comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications could
result in severe injury from breakage of eye
protection.
2. Wear proper apparel. No loose clothing or
jewelry which can get caught in moving parts.
Contain long hair. Rubber soled footwear is
recommended for best footing.
3. Do not overreach. Failure to maintain proper
working position can cause you to fall into the
machine or cause your clothing to get caught
— pulling you into the machine.
4. Keep guards in place and in proper working
order. Do not operate the machine with guards
removed.
5. Avoid dangerous working environments. Do
not use stationary machine tools in wet or
damp locations, or in an explosive
environment. Keep work areas clean and well
lit. Special electrics should be used when
working on flammable materials.
6. Avoid accidental starts by being sure the start
switch is “OFF” before plugging in the
machine.
7. Machinery must be anchored to the floor.
8. Never leave the machine running while
unattended. Machine shall be shut off
whenever it is not in operation.
9. Disconnect electrical power before servicing.
Whenever changing accessories or general
maintenance is done on the machine,
electrical power to the machine must be
disconnected before work is done.
10. Maintain all machine tools with care. Follow all
maintenance instructions for lubricating and
the changing of accessories. No attempt shall
be made to modify or have makeshift repairs
done to the machine. This not only voids the
warranty but also renders the machine unsafe.
11. Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work, when practical. It is safer than using your
hands and it frees both hands to operate the
machine.
12. Never brush away chips while the machine is
in operation.
13. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite
accidents.
