HEALTH

&

SAFETY

SAFETY

OF WOODWORKING MACHINES

Woodworking machines can

be

dangerous if improperly used. The

wide

range of work of

which they are

capable, requires adequate safeguarding arrangements against possible

hazards.
Many injuries to machinists

are

caused by carelessness or failure to

use

the guards provided

or to adjust them correctly.

Wadkin

plc supply machinery designed for maximum safety which they believe,

as

a result

of thorough testing, minimizes the risks inevitable

in

their use,

It

is the users responsibility

to see that the following

rules

are

complied with to ensure safety at work:

1)

The operation of the machirie should conform to

the

requirements of

the.

UK Woodworking Machines Regulations, 1974.

All

guards, should be used and

adjusted correctly.

2)

Safe methods of working only should be adopted

as

given

in

BS.6854

Part

1,

"Safeguarding Woodworking

Machines~'

(UKonly) and subsequent parts for specific

machines (obtainable from Her Majesty's Stationery Office) and as advised

by

Wadkin

plc.

3) Only personnel trained in the safe use of a machine should operate

it.

4)

Before making adjustments

or

clearing chips, etc., electrically isolate machine and

ensure all movements have ceased.

5)

All

tools and cutters must be securely fixed and the correct

speed

selected.

Safety is our watchword, but the user must comply with

the

above

rules

in his own interest.

We would be

pleased

to

advise on the safe use

of

our products. .
