Safety and maintenance instructions
- The risks associated with using woodworking machinery are high since they use high-speed
sharp cutters to do the job and in many cases these are necessarily exposed to enable the
machining process to take place. Also, because many machines are still hand-fed,
woodworking is probably the main industry where the hands of the operator are constantly
exposed to danger.
- As well as the high risk of injury from contact with the cutters, there is the risk of being injured
by the ejection of the workpiece or cutters (or parts of them) from the machine. No two pieces
of wood are the same; each piece behaves differently when machined or shaped during the
production process. Knots and natural changes in the direction of the grain can give rise to
snatching and kickback of the workpiece.
- Serious risks are related to the use of woodworking machinery, which are sharp, vibrant and
noisy machines. The machine can only be used safely if the operator strictly follows the
operating and safety instructions. It is essential to read this manual before using the machine
so you know how to the machine works and what its limitations are.
- Provide sufficient space around the machine and a good lighting of the workshop.
- Always make sure that all safety devices are fitted to the machine and that the machine is
connected to a dust extraction system.
- Keep dust levels down with good housekeeping. Keep the work area clean so you do not
resuspend dust into the air while working. Never use compressed air to clean the work area or
clothing, because it generates dust. Wood dust is harmful by inhalation and in contact with
skin for all woods, but more or less according to the varieties of types (deciduous, conifers,
exotic) and chemicals potentially associated (including formaldehyde in MDF).
- Exposure to wood dust and many chemicals (solvents, adhesives and varnishes...) generate
a risk of allergic reactions, respiratory and sinus cancer.
- Use a dust mask and hearing protection when working with the machine. To avoid inhalation
of wood dust many types of masks and filters are available. A good choice and application are
important for proper operation.
- Carefully read the instructions for the cleaning of the machine.
- Do not remove by hand wood residues to a running engine. Do it only with a fully disabled
machine. When changing tools or when doing a maintenance job, the machine must always
be disconnected from its power supply.
- Knives and tools which are not correctly sharpened, or in a bad shape, not only diminish the
quality of the work, but also increase the risk of accidents.
- Always wear suitable clothing, loosen or torn clothing is dangerous.
- Keep children and non-trained personal away from the machine and out of the workshop.
- Always use templates during the machining of special parts.
