moving parts.
Never wear rings, watches, long sleeves, neckties, jewelry, or other loose items when operating
the machine.
Keep your hair away from moving parts. Wear adequate safety head gear.
Never operate any machine tool after consuming alcoholic beverages, or taking strong

Carry out a COSHH risk assessment and use the correct protection equipment, e.g. barrier
cream/latex gloves, to prevent harm from items such as cutting fluid, lubrication oil and other
substances used on the machine.
Always ensure the appropriate guarding is in place for the machinery operation being undertaken.
Observe and understand the warning and safety information labels affixed to this machine.
Do not attempt to tamper with or override any guarding/safety device fitted to the machine.
Keep the working area clear and remove all tools (spanners, etc.) from the machine before you
start the machine running. Loose items can become dangerous flying projectiles.
Stop the machine spindle and ensure that the CNC control is in the STOP mode:
o Before changing tools.
o Before changing parts.
o Before you clear away the Swarf, oil or coolant. Always use a chip scraper or brush.
o Before you make an adjustment to the part, vice, coolant nozzle or take measurements.
o Before you open guards. Never reach around a guard to gain access to the part, tool, or
fixture.
Do not use compressed air to remove swarf or clean the machine.
Keep work area well lit. Ask for additional light if needed.
Be aware that the machine can move unexpectedly so do not lean on the machine while it is
running.
To prevent slippage and personal injury, keep the working area around the machine dry and
clean. Ensure there is no swarf, oil, coolant and obstacles of any kind around the machine.
Avoid getting pinched in places where the spindle, table or guard doors create "pinch points"
whilst the machine is in motion.
For machines fitted with manual handwheels: to prevent injury during powered axes movement,
keep the handle folded inside the hand wheel at all times except when required to hand crank the
table.
Securely clamp and properly locate the workpiece in the vice or in a fixture. Use proper tool
holding equipment.
Use the correct tooling for the process being undertaken. Never use damaged or worn tools and
ensure the correct cutting parameters (speed, feed, and depth of cut) are used in order to
prevent tool breakage.
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.
Avoid large overhangs on cutting tools when not necessary.
To prevent fires keep flammable materials and fluids away from the machine, hot swarf and
workpieces.
Never change gears when the spindle is rotating
Do not rotate the spindle by hand unless the table guard is open.
Stop and disconnect the power to the machine before undertaking any machine cleaning or
maintenance
