16. Prevent slippage. Keep the work area dry and clean. Remove the chips, oil, coolant
and obstacles of any kind around the machine.
17. Avoid getting pinched in places where the spindle, carriage, cross slide or sliding door
create "pinch points" while in motion.
18. Securely clamp and properly locate the workpiece in the chuck or in the fixture. Use
proper tool holding equipment.
19. Use correct cutting parameters (speed, feed, and depth of cut) in order to prevent tool breakage.
20. Use proper cutting tools for the job.
21. Prevent damage to the workpiece or the cutting tool. Never start the machine
(including the rotation of the spindle) if the tool is in contact with the part.
22. Don't use dull or damaged cutting tools. They break easily and may become
airborne. Inspect the sharpness of the edges, and the integrity of cutting tools and
their holders.
23. Large overhangs on cutting tools when not required result in accidents and damaged parts.
24. Prevent fires. When machining certain materials (magnesium, etc.) the chips and
dust are highly flammable. Obtain special instruction from your supervisor before
machining these materials. Do a risk assessment before machining flammable
materials.
25. Prevent fires. Keep flammable materials and fluids away from the machine and hot,
flying chips.
26. Do not rotate the spindle by hand unless the Red Emergency Stop button is pressed.
