Always use safety glasses, closed-toed shoes, hearing protection, face shield (if necessary)
and lab coat (if necessary) and other suitable protective equipment during machining.
No rings, wrist watches, bracelets or jewellery that can get caught in the equipment are
allowed when using the machines. If you have long hair, make sure it is tied back and will
not touch any part of the machine in particular the rotating spindle. Keep hands and arms
well clear of the rotating spindle or other parts.
Only operate the machine after informing the staff of the Mechanical Workshop. Make sure
someone else knows that you are using the machine and is available in case of emergency.
Do not interrupt anyone when they are operating the machine. Wait until they finish
machining.
Do not run in the workshop, it may cause severe accident. Always be patient and never rush
in the workshop.
Use the appropriate speed for the bit.
Always remove the chuck key after tightening the chuck to avoid the chuck key from flying
off during the start-up which can cause serious injury or death.
Report any defective equipment to the mechanical staff.
The gangway through the workshop must be kept clear. Any oil spillage, grease,… must be
cleaned immediately and reported.
