Personal Care
• Avoid frequent or prolonged skin contact with fresh or used cutting fluids and
oils.
• If machining chemicals come in contact with your skin, wash the area
immediately.
• Wash your hands thoroughly before eating.
• Change clothing that has become contaminated with machining fluids and
oils.
• For complete information about handling industrial chemicals used in
machining, refer to the international Control of Substances Hazardous to
Health (COSHH) materials from the chemical suppliers.
Wearing Apparel
• Wear eye protection and safety shoes while in the machining work area.
Safety glasses with side shields are recommended. Safety shoes should be in
good condition, with steel reinforced toes and oil-resistant soles.
• Remove clothing and jewelry that could get caught in machine moving parts.
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing. Long shirt sleeves are not recommended.
• Keep long hair tied back so that vision is not obstructed and hair cannot
become caught in moving parts.
Heavy Lifting
• Do not attempt to lift more than you can safely handle. When lifting, keep
your back straight and use your legs.
• Use a hoist for heavy lifting, making sure that the load is evenly balanced and
is raised slowly.
• Do not raise a large load over aisles and make certain that the landing area is
clear and level.
Housekeeping
• Maintain a clean and orderly workspace around the machine. The floor must
be free of spills and obstructions.
• Use only sturdy work platforms with anti-slip surfaces around the machine.
• Do not store tools, shop cloths, and miscellaneous parts on the machine.
• When removing chips and dust, make certain the cutter is completely
stopped. Use a brush or chip scraper to remove chips—do not use
compressed air to blow chips from the spindle, table, controls, cabinet or
floor. Do not remove chips by hand, or while the spindle is turning. Dispose of
chips and dust frequently.
