General Safety and Precautions

This safety summary contains general safety warnings that should be understood during operation of

this machine. Failure to observe these precautions could result in injury.

Learn and understand safe use of the machine. Do not allow untrained individuals

to operate the machine without supervision. Be aware of the location of the Emer-

gency Stop switches at all times.

Eye and ear protection MUST be worn by the machine operator as well as any

bystanders or observers. Flying sawdust, material chips, and other debris can

cause serious eye injury.

Wear closed-toe shoes at all times.

Make sure that your material is properly secured before cutting, and be aware of

any small parts that may come loose after being cut. If a small part catches the

edge of a spinning bit, it can be thrown forcefully in any direction, causing injury

or damage.

Never place your hands on the rails of the ShopBot. Be aware that the machine

may move unexpectedly in any direction, which can cause serious injury if your

hands are in the path of movement.

Never wear gloves while operating the machine. As with any power tool, a glove

can get caught in moving or spinning parts and pull your hand into the machinery.

Never leave a machine running and unattended. Understand that a spinning tool

generates friction and heat, creating a risk of re. This risk is minimized by using

correct chip load, using sharp bits, and by always double-checking your les

before cutting. Be prepared to pause or stop the cut if something seems incorrect

or unsafe.

Keep a working re extinguisher within reach of the machine, for the reasons

listed above.
