Rules for Maintenance
[ 1 ] Before Maintenance Work
[ 1.1 ]
Checking the work procedure
Check the work procedure with co-workers in advance. Be sure to inform the operators that the
machine is to be stopped, and always put up the maintenance notice (specified by the plant) on the
power switches.
[ 1.2 ]
Checking the jigs and tools
Select and inspect the jigs and tools for the job purpose. Use spanners and wrenches suitable for
the sizes and locations of bolts and nuts.
[ 1.3 ]
Keeping things neat and tidy
Determine the storage location for disassembled parts, making sure that passages are clear for
operators.
[ 2 ] Precautions for Maintenance Personnel
(1) If you stop the machine for maintenance, be
sure to put up the warning notice saying
“DON’T TURN THE SWITCH ON”.
(2) Never put tools or any items on top of the
machine whether it is in operation or on halt.
Otherwise, they may fall into the machine,
causing parts damage or even bodily injury.
(3) Never use compressed air for cleaning your
skin. It may cause infection if your skin has
any open wounds.
(4) When using lubricant, paint, adhesive, sealant,
or detergent, put on the protectors, safety
gloves, and safety goggles to protect your skin
and eyes from those materials.
Such materials may cause bodily damage. If
your skin or eyes become contaminated, wash
the affected part at once and get appropriate
medical care.
When using any detergent, always ventilate
the workshop sufficiently.
Follow the instructions provided by the mate-
rial manufacturer or supplier.
(5) For any work which could damage the eyes,
always wear safety goggles.
