herewhichisintendedtopreventinjurytoyouandyourfellowworkers.Theprecautionslisted
cannotcoverall possiblesituations. Therefore, considertheconsequencesof youractions
beforeexecuting anyprocedureoroperation.
(1)SafetyPrecautionsBeforeStarting TheMachine
1.Protect yourself.Wearsafetyglassesandleathergloveswhenhandlingmetal. Donot
wearlooseclothing,neckties,orjewelry. Iflongsleevesmust beworn,avoidcuffsand
buttons.
2.Keepyourworkarea clean. Removeall scrap, oil spills, rags, tools, andotherloose
itemsthatcouldcauseyoutoslip,trip,andfall.
