Machine Safety
•
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors a safe distance away while operating any power tool.
•
Read the manual. Know the operation of every control before you attempt any operation of
the machine.
•
Make sure that all guards are in place and functioning before operating the machine.
•
Check for damage and abnormal wear before operating the machine.
•
Always wear safety glasses (side shields are recommended) that are ANSI Z87.1-2003
compliant.
•
Wear hearing protection (ear plugs or ear muffs) when operating loud machines.
•
Wear appropriate clothing; no rings, gloves, neckties, jewelry, or loose-fitting garments. Bind
long hair or wear a hat.
•
Do not use compressed air for cleaning machines. A shop vacuum works well and is much safer.
•
Don ’ t operate machinery while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
•
Ensure that your machines are well lit. Ensure that your shop is well lit and have additional
task lighting where appropriate.
•
Maintain a clean and uncluttered work area.
•
Avoid pinch points.
•
Never leave a running machine unattended.
•
Do not force or overload machinery.
•
Use appropriate cutting tools with appropriate feeds and speed.
•
Cutting tools get hot during use and can cause burns if handled inappropriately.
•
Do not attempt to use work pieces that are too large or two heavy for the machine.
•
Maintain your machines. Ensure that it is well-adjusted and in a safe state.
•
Clear chips with a brush or other tool, never with your hands or with compressed air.
•
Make sure the machine is on a flat, level surface that can support the weight of the machine
plus fixtures, vise, and work piece.
•
Clamp work securely. Cutting forces are significant and can turn work pieces that are not
secured into projectiles.
•
Be aware that chips and dust from some materials (magnesium, for example) are flammable.
Understand the materials you are using.
