Take help from manuals for operating the machines.
If you are doubtful about anything, always ask for help.
Check if all machines guards are in place where the machine is operating.
Before adjusting the machine, let it stop first.
Do not try to stop the rotating parts of machine with your hands when you switch off the power.
Try keeping the floor clean of the metal chips and other waste pieces. Put them in the container provided for them.
