There are multiple hazards you need to be aware of when using the CNC router. 
 +
* The tooling is very sharp and spins at over 18,000 RPM. Keep your body parts away from the cutter and spindle. You need fingers for the ring you will get by spring.   
 +
* Stay behind the yellow/black safety line when operating the router. The router is very large and will not stop if you get in its way. 
 +
* Materials need to be securely fastened to the table by vacuum or mechanical means. This includes material that could be made loose during the cutting process. Use tabs to secure such material.
 +
* Never attempt to cut a hole the same diameter as the cuter with a down cut force cutter.  This will compress the chips and can create a fire due to the air draw of the vacuum table.
 +
* Always wear ear protection when operating the CNC router.

*Select HOME and wait for the machine to move to the 0,0 position. You should never be on the machine side of the yellow/black tape on the floor when the machine is operating.
 +
*To manually load/unload a tool in the spindle you will need to press the green button on the left side of the spindle while holding onto the tool holder OD. To insert the tool press the button and slide the tool holder up into the spindle.  To remove a tool press the button and tool will be ejected from the spindle. Do not allow your hands to make contact with the razor sharp cutting tool.

We have a variety of tooling but the majority of cutting should be done with a 1/4" tool.  Talk with the technician while in the design phase.

*Whenever a tool is changed in the tool holder a touch off operation must be performed.  This will calculate the distance the tool is sticking out of the holder and prevent damage to the table and your work of art.

Always keep your finger near the stop button when starting your program.  Most likely if something goes wrong it will happen early in the process so be ready to stop the machine. If you know the relationship between the brush on the dust shroud and the end of the tool you will have a good idea how deep the tool is when it cuts into the material. It is also very important to know what the program should be doing so you can verify the tool path is correct.

When you have finished, park the cutting tool back into the storage rack at the end of the table. You will need to remove any material on the table and use the vacuum to clean off any leftover dust and chips.  You can use the dust collector or portable vacuum.  Make sure to disconnect the air hose and power down the machine with the spindle located off of the table.  This will prevent any leaking oil from dripping on the table.
