Do not abuse power and control cords. Pulling or running over cords and cables
can result in electrical shock hazards and malfunctions. Keep control and power
cords out of all cutting fluids and water.
Hydraulic drives. Observe proper procedures for electrically driven power sources.
Avoid damage to hydraulic lines. Keep quick-disconnects clean. Grit contamina-
tion causes malfunctions.
Air tools. Check the exhaust muffler. Broken or damaged mufflers can restrict air
flow or cause excessive noise. Use air motors only with a filtered, lubricated and
regulated air supply. Dirty air, low pressure air or over pressure air will cause
malfunctions, including delayed starting.
Secure work. Whenever possible use clamps, vises, chains and straps to secure
pipe.
Make sure the tool is secured; it is safer to have both hands free to operate the
tool.
Us the right tool and tool bit for the job. Do not use a tool which is incorrect for the
job you are doing.
Keep the tool bits fully engaged in the tool bit holders. Loose bits are a safety
hazard.
Disconnect power supply during setup and maintenance. Use all stop or shut-off
features available when changing or adjusting tool bits, maintaining the tool, or
when the tool is not in use.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before applying power to the equipment.
Develop a habit of checking the tool before turning it on to make sure that all keys
and wrenches have been removed.
Do not force tools. Tools and tool bits function better and safer when used at t h e
feed and speed rate for which they were designed.
Do not reach into rotating equipment. Do not reach into the rotating head stock to
clear chips, to make adjustments, or to check surface finish. A machine designed
to cut steel will not stop for a hand or an arm.
Handle chips with care. Chips have very sharp edges and are hot. Do not try to
pull chips apart with bare hands; they are very tough.
Avoid unintentional starts. Do not carry or handle tools with your hand on the oper-
ating switches or levers. Do not lay the tool down in a manner which will start the
drive. Do not allow the tool to flip around or move when adjusting or changing tool
bits.
Store idle tools properly. Disconnect tools from the power source and store in a
safe place. Remove tool bits for safe handling of the tool.
