4.
Remove adaptor
keys and screws.
Make it a habit of
checking that these are
removed before the
machine is switched
on.
5.
Keep the
workbench clean. A
mess can lead to
accidents.
6.
Avoid hazardous
working environments.
Never use
machine tools in damp or
wet areas and never
expose them to rain.
Ensure good working
light.
7.
Keep children
away. All visitors
ought to keep a good
distance from the
working area.
8.
Child-proof the
working area by
using padlocks,
main switches or by
removing the
starting keys.
9.
Do not overload the machine. Using the
machine in the way it
was designed is the
better and safer way
to do the job.
10.
Use the
correct tools. Do
not force the
tool or unit to do
something it
was not
designed for.
11.
Wear proper clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing, gloves, ties,
rings, necklaces or
other jewellery which
can get caught in the
moving parts. Non-
skid footwear is
recommended. Wear
head protection.
12.
Always use safety
goggles and possibly ear
defenders. Always use a
face or dust mask when
doing a job that
generates dust. Normal
glasses only act as glass.
Glass does
NOT
provide
eye protection.
13.
Work safely. Use
clamps or vices to hold
the material. This is
safer than using your
own hands and allows
you to operate the
machine with both
hands.
