Safety Overview
Any machine tool is potenally dangerous. The automaon inherent in a CNC machine presents
added risk not present in a manual machine. Tormach CNC machines can deliver sucient force to
break brile tools, crush bones, and tear esh.
This manual provides guidance on safety precauons and techniques, but because the specics of
any one workshop (or other local condions) can vary greatly, Tormach accepts no responsibility for
machine performance or any damage or injury caused by its use. It is your responsibility to ensure
you understand the implicaons of what you are doing and comply with any legislaon and codes
of pracce applicable to your city, state or naon.
