General Safety Precautions
For Operating Machinery
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation
and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of
personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or
ignored, personal injury to the operator or damage to machinery may result.
✔
ALWAYS read the manual carefully. Know your machine. Learn its applications and
limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to it.
✔
ALWAYS keep guards in place and in working order.
✔
ALWAYS earth your machine. The machine is equipped with three-pin plug, which should
be plugged into a three-pin electrical socket. NEVER remove the earth pin.
✔
ALWAYS remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form the habit of checking to ensure
that keys, wrenches and tools, are removed from the machine.
✔
ALWAYS keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
✔
ALWAYS check for damage. If any part of the machine, (eg. A cover or guard) is
damaged, it should be carefully inspected to ensure that it can perform its intended
function correctly. If in doubt, the part should be renewed. Damage to moving parts
or major components should be Inspected by a qualified technician before operating.
✔
ALWAYS make workshop childproof - with padlocks, master switches or by removing
starter keys.

distance from work area

ALWAYS ensure that adequate lighting is available. A minimum intensity of 300 lux should
be provided. Ensure that lighting is placed so that you will not be working in your own
shadow.

ALWAYS use the right tool. Don't force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it
was not designed.
✔
ALWAYS wear proper apparel. Loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or
other jewellery may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended.
Long hair should be contained.
