SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear safety goggles and hearing protection. Use dust mask when routing materials that generate dust.

Electrical Safety: Check power cord and extension cord for damage before use. Do not operate in wet conditions.

Dust Hazard: Routing generates wood dust. Use appropriate respiratory protection and dust extraction where possible.

Rotational Hazard: Keep hands away from rotating cutter. Never reach under the workpiece while the cutter is spinning. Ensure workpiece is securely clamped.

Kickback Hazard: Maintain firm grip and proper stance. Do not apply excessive pressure—allow the tool to do the work. Use the correct feed direction.

Maintenance: Unplug tool before changing bits or performing maintenance. Allow the tool to cool before storing.

Training requirement: Operators should be familiar with correct usage, bit selection, and safety procedures. Supervisors should ensure all safety protocols are followed.

2. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye Injury (debris): Do not rub. Rinse immediately with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open. Seek medical attention.

Cut Injury: Apply direct pressure to stop bleeding. Clean wound with clean water. Cover with sterile dressing. Seek medical attention if bleeding is profuse or the wound is deep.

Skin Contact (dust): Wash skin with soap and water. If irritation develops, seek medical attention.

Inhalation of Dust: Move to fresh air. If symptoms persist (coughing, difficulty breathing), seek medical attention.

3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammability: The tool is not flammable, but plastic casing may burn if exposed to fire. Wood dust can be combustible.

Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide (CO₂) for fires involving tools.

Fire Response: In event of fire, evacuate the area and call emergency services. Use appropriate extinguishers; water may be used for general fires but not for electrical fires where live equipment is involved.
