| Woodworking Safety Rules |
| ||||||
| Power-Sander Safety When using the belt sander, feed the stock against the rotation of the belt, to prevent the work from being pulled off the machine. When using a disk sander, hold work piece against the downward rotation of the disk, to keep the work from being lifted off the disk. Clean all wood dust from the machine before sanding anything metal; the sparks produced by sanding metal could ignite wood dust. Replace frayed belts and disks, or a disk with loose adhesive; they can fly off the sander. Router Safety Unplug the tool before installing or removing a bit, and tighten the chuck securely once the bit is in place. Anchor work securely with clamps or nails, leaving both hands free to guide the router. Let the bit reach full speed before beginning a cut, and lift it from the work before switching the router off. When cutting a dado that is wider than the bit, make the first pass along the right side of the channel, then move the guide and cut the left-hand channel. Safety with Power Tools Always be sure to unplug the tool before making any adjustments. Keep the tool clean and lubricated, and the blade sharp; check the power cord and plug frequently for fraying, nicks, or other damage. Make sure the outlet and plug are properly grounded. Keep the work area and tool surface uncluttered and well lit. Keep children and pets away from the workshop. Do all your planning and marking before turning on the motor. Concentrate completely on the cut at hand, and turn the motor off as soon as the cut is done. Never operate a power tool when you are tired or ill, or have been drinking alcoholic beverages or taking medicine. Do not let your mind wander. Concentrate on what you are doing. Do not wear clothing or jewellery that could catch in moving parts. Keep sleeves rolled up and long hair tied back. Whenever possible, use safety aids such as blade guards provided with the tool. Never force a work piece through a machine at a faster rate than the tool is designed for. |
