

Clamp the work-piece to a stable work surface. Check to make sure that the “cutting

path”' is unobstructed, and observe the old woodworkers' adage of “never placing your

hands closer than one hand’s length to the cutting tool”. Do not attempt to machine any

small pieces or work any material that cannot be held securely in a clamp.



Make sure you are in a comfortable stance before you start to work, balanced, not

reaching etc.



If the work you are carrying out is liable to generate flying dust or chips, wear the

appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves, masks etc. If the work operation appears to

be excessively noisy, wear ear protection. If you wear your hair in a long style, wearing a

hat, cap, or safety helmet will minimize the possibility of your hair being caught up in the

rotating parts of the tool. Likewise, consideration should be given to the removal of rings

and wristwatches, since these are liable to be a 'snag' hazard.



Do not work with cutting tools of any kind if you are tired or if you are being subjected to

distraction.



Do not use power tools within the designated safety areas where flammable liquids are

stored or in areas where there may be flammable gases present.



Check that your cutting bits are undamaged and are kept clean and sharp, this will

maintain their optimal operating performance and lessen the loading on the tool.



Above all, BE OBSERVENT. Make sure you know what is happening around you, and

USE COMMON SENSE.
