==Precautions== | |||
'''Do''' | |||
*Read the Safe Work Procedure and obtain North Forge approval before using the equipment for the first time. | |||
* Maintain a calm but vigilant attitude. If you are stressed or in a hurry, it’s best not to use the equipment. | |||
*Tie back long hair and jewelry; remove earbuds and hoodie cords. | |||
*Check the workspace for slip and trip hazards. | |||
*Ensure the equipment is in good condition (hoses and power cords in good condition, no clogs in dust extraction hoses). | |||
*Inspect the material for cracks, knots, or debris before starting - material can shatter or kick back if it is not stable. | |||
*Check the equipment for trapped debris when done. | |||
*Use a brush and/or vacuum to clean most of the dust before finishing with compressed air. | |||
'''Do not''' | |||
*Use the equipment if you are tired, intoxicated, or otherwise impaired | |||
*Rush | |||
*Distract operators - if you need to get someone’s attention, stand to the side and wait until they notice you. Do not wave, shout, or touch the operator. | |||
*Leave the equipment with equipment still running - note that hearing protection can prevent users from hearing when the equipment is/is not running. | |||
*Sand metal due to risk of sparks and equipment/property damage. | |||
=Housekeeping= | |||
*Check the working area for slip and trip hazards (sawdust, oil, offcuts) before and after working | |||
*Do not leave air hoses or extension cords laying across walkways where people can trip on them | |||
*Check hoses for excess sawdust or other clogs | |||
*Empty the dust collector if it is filled to more than halfway up the viewing window (~1 garbage bag worth of dust) | |||
*Empty waste bins if they are more than 75% full | |||
**Bag waste should be less than 6x6” | |||
**Blunt any sharp corners that could puncture the bag | |||
**Replace waste bags after emptying | |||
**Firewood bins are only for untreated wood with no paints or stains | |||
*Return all fab lab tools to their proper locations | |||
*Remove all personal tools, materials, and equipment from the room | |||
**Fire code prohibits storing material in the wood room | |||
*Turn off the equipment and dust collector. | |||
*Turn off the room exhaust if you are the last one in the room. | |||
**Room exhaust is interlocked with equipment power; turning off the exhaust will turn off all equipment in the room! | |||
