Forest CNC - Router Safety Training

  • E-stop Button Safety:
    • Hold the e-stop button outside the work area to activate the e-stop state.
    • Push the button in and twist it to release it from the e-stop state; don't pull to avoid damage.
    • Differentiate between the e-stop button on the front (power off/on) and the one inside (e-stop only).
  • Machine Structure Safety:
    • Red stops on all four corners prevent machine damage.
    • Avoid resting on or touching pinch points to prevent accidents.
    • Leaning on the machine can lead to severe injuries; avoid using it as a table or support.
  • Maintenance Safety:
    • Never touch the machine's metal components to prevent rust and maintain safety.
    • Always power off the machine before making adjustments or maintenance.
    • Never insert hands into the machine while it's powered on to avoid severe injuries.
  • Responsibility:
    • Emphasize personal responsibility for safety; injuries are the individual's responsibility, not the fault of the school or instructor.
