Empty the cyclone dust collector after every use. To empty the cyclone dust collector:

# Unlock the clasp.
# Remove the lid.
# If the dust collector is less than halfway full, scoop or dump the contents of the bag into an existing can. If it is more than halfway full, remove the bag and discard it the garbage can.

Empty the main dust collector when the dust has piled halfway up the viewing window. Check before and after use and empty if required. '''Overfilled dust collectors can start a fire.'''

Break down large pieces before putting them garbage bins. Round off sharp corners to avoid puncturing the bag and injuring the person carrying it.

After use, clean the equipment and surrounding area. Continue wearing your hearing and respiratory protection while you are cleaning up.

# Use a dustpan, vacuum, and broom to remove most of the dust from the table, and gantry.
# Use compressed air to clean the gantry. Focus on areas where parts interact: rack and pinion, spindle mount, motor mounts, etc.
# Clean the floor using a broom and dustpan, shop vacuum, or the dust collector hose. Make sure to clean under the ShopBot and the corners of the room. Replace the dust collector hose when done.
# Empty any garbage bins that are more than 75% full and replace the bag.
# Empty the dust collector if required.
# Return fab lab tools to their proper locations:
#* Tool holders on the rack
#* Collets in the drawer
#* Collet wrench placed beside locking fixture
#* Calipers, drills/impact drivers, squares, hand tools in the tool room
# Remove any personal tools, materials, and removable media from the room. The workbench should only have the wrench and locking fixture on it when done. Due to local fire code, do not store stock materials in the CNC room (fixtures are stored in the fixture cart - label with name and phone number)
# Turn off the equipment per shutdown procedures.
# Turn off the dust collector. If you are the last one in the room, turn off the room exhaust. The room exhaust is interlocked to the electrical system; turning off the room exhaust will turn off all equipment in the room.
