Electric motors. Use only with proper AC voltage power sources and
observe all normal electric shock hazard procedures.
Do not abuse power and control cords. Pulling or running over cords and
cables can result in electrical shock hazards and malfunctions. Keep
control and power cords out of all cutting fluids and water.
Hydraulic drives. Observe proper procedures for electrically driven
power sources. Avoid damage to hydraulic lines. Keep quick-discon-
nects clean. Grit contamination causes malfunctions.
Air tools. Check the exhaust muffler. Broken or damaged mufflers can
restrict air flow or cause excessive noise. Use air motors only with a
filtered, lubricated and regulated air supply. Dirty air, low pressure air or
over pressure air will cause malfunctions, including delayed starting.
AREA EQUIPMENT:
Secure work. Whenever possible use clamps, vises, chains and straps to
secure pipe.
Make sure the tool is secured, it is safer to have both hands free to
operate the tool.
TOOL USE:
Use the right tool and tool bit for the job. Do not use a tool which is
incorrect for the job you are doing.
Keep the tool bits fully engaged in the tool bit holders. Loose bits are a
safety hazard.
Disconnect power supply during setup and maintenance. Use all stop or
shut-off features available when changing or adjusting tool bits, maintaining
the tool, or when the tool is not in use.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before applying power to the equip-
ment. Develop a habit of checking the tool before turning it on to make sure
that all keys and wrenches have been removed.
Do not force tools. Tools and tool bits function better and safer when used
at the feed and speed rate for which they were designed.
Do not reach into rotating equipment. Do not reach into the rotating head-
stock to clear chips, to make adjustments, or to check surface finish. A
machine designed to cut steel will not stop for a hand or an arm.
Handle chips with care. Chips have very sharp edges and are hot. Do
not try to pull chips apart with bare hands; they are very tough.
Avoid unintentional starts. Do not carry or handle tools with your hand on
the operating switches or levers. Do not lay the tool down in a manner
which will start the drive. Do not allow the tool to flip around or move
when adjusting or changing tool bits.
Store idle tools properly. Disconnect tools from the power source and
store in a safe place. Remove tool bits for safe handling of the tool.
