  1. Safety Georgia Institute of Technology

  2. Hazards to the Eyes • Metal chips, particles, and dust • Safety Glasses, Goggles, or Face Shield

  3. No, really, always wear them!

  4. Hazards to the Lungs • Dust, small particles • Mist & Dust mask • Vapors, gases • Vapor respirator (paint mask)‏

  5. Hazards to the Hands • Sharp chips • Rotating / Moving parts • Cutters • Don't wear gloves when working with machine tools! • The risk of a glove becoming caught and your hand being dragged into the tool is higher than from chips. • Keep your fingers a safe distance from moving parts. • Don't grip the bottom of a surface you are drilling or cutting through. • Turn the tool off before measuring a piece. • Use a brush to remove chips, not your hands.

  6. Hazards of Jewelry, Ties, Necklaces, Hair • Ties, hair, necklaces, long sleeves or any other dangling items will be grabbed by power tools. If you are lucky they will break before parts of you reach the power part of the tool. • Remove before using power tools! • Rings and earrings can also catch, but are usually less of a danger.

  7. Specific Notes • Don't leave the key in the chuck! • Clamp your work material whenever possible. • Do not remove work until moving parts have come to a complete stop. • Do not lay wrenches or other hand tools on top of power tools where they will fall from the vibration. • Use pusher sticks! • Pay attention to your work, nothing else!
