1.5 Environmental Safety
Follow these specific practices when working at the machining center:
• The area around the machine should be well lighted, dry, and free from
obstructions. Keep the area around the machine clean and in good
order at all times.
• Equipment should not be operated during severe thunderstorms or
other electrical disturbances.
• In the event of a power failure, turn the Main Power switch Off immedi-
ately. Leave the switch in the Off position until the power is fully
restored and normal operations can safely be resumed.
• Never step on machine covers as they can become slippery during
normal operation and are not designed to support your weight.
• Never perform grinding operations in the vicinity of the machining cen-
ter. The dust created by grinding can contaminate components, cause
premature wear, and cause inaccuracies or component failure.
• Never weld on parts mounted on or in the machine. Electrical currents
associated with welding could cause bearing damage or explosions
and result in serious injury or equipment damage.
• When a platform is placed around the machining center, it should be
extremely sturdy, safe, and have anti-slip surfaces.
• Keep all flammable liquids away from the work area.
