post 6, question 1

I've decided that I have to start doing the research questions, otherwise I won't have time to finish them in time as a lot of assignments keep coming up.

1.     Choose 2 machines that you used in the fabrication of your desk tidy. With these machines in mind, outline WPH&S considerations that must be adhered to when using these machines. Include photographs of your chosen machines (OnGuard may be an excellent resource for this question).

 

 

BAND SAW:

Considerations that should take place:

• Only one person using the machine at one time
•    Any hair should be tied back or in a hair cap
• when cutting the pieces, if one of the pieces should be moved, don't move it with your hands, sue something else to move it and then pick it up
•  if dropped something, don't go down with your head close to the machine, move it with your foot and then pick it up
•      Safety glasses must be worn

     blade should be in properly

2) SANDER:

 
Considerations that should take place:

•  Safety glasses must be worn 
• Make sure sanding disc and belt is in good condition
•    Make sure you know what direction the belt and disc in going
• don't put hands too close to sander
• hair should be always tied at the back
• just one person in each work area
