Do not wave, shout, or touch the operator. Leave the equipment with equipment still running - note that hearing protection can prevent users from hearing when the equipment is/is not running. Sand metal due to risk of sparks and equipment/property damage. Housekeeping Check the working area for slip and trip hazards (sawdust, oil, offcuts) before and after working Do not leave air hoses or extension cords laying across walkways where people can trip on them Check hoses for excess sawdust or other clogs Empty the dust collector if it is filled to more than halfway up the viewing window (~1 garbage bag worth of dust) Empty waste bins if they are more than 75% full Bag waste should be less than 6x6” Blunt any sharp corners that could puncture the bag Replace waste bags after emptying Firewood bins are only for untreated wood with no paints or stains Return all fab lab tools to their proper locations Remove all personal tools, materials, and equipment from the room Fire code prohibits storing material in the wood room Turn off the equipment and dust collector.
