Document Summary

This document outlines safe work procedures for operating a CNC Flat Bed Router, focusing on training, safety, and proper handling. General precautions include keeping the work area clean, using matting to prevent slip hazards, and ensuring that power cables are clear of moving parts. Control boxes and switches must be in good condition, especially when using liquid coolants. Proper shielding and dust collection systems are required to contain debris and prevent dust spread.

Setup procedures emphasize switching off the router when handling parts, securing stock to prevent movement, and using protective gloves to handle sharp edges. Operational guidelines stress wearing PPE such as dust masks, hearing protection, and eye protection to mitigate risks from toxic dust and high noise levels. Cleaning and maintenance involve ensuring cutters are retracted, the router is switched off, and using appropriate tools like sweepers and vacuums for debris. Only trained and authorized personnel may operate or maintain the router.
