Basic safety rules should be followed when using the
polishing/buffing machine. However, our cartoon character
Ed the Handyman
foolishly ignores health and safety. Read the safety rules outlined
below and then work out which one of the cartoon characters below is
working safely.
1. Always wear goggles - small pieces of mop and polish will fly out of
the machine whilst it is being used. Goggles will prevent damage to
eyes.
2. Always wear an apron or overall. These will hold back loose clothing.
For example, a tie could easily be caught by the rotating mop, this
would pull the machine operator into the polisher. This would result in
a very dangerous and possibly fatal accident.
3. Always apply the work to the lower portion of the mop, never the top.
4. Never allow the top edge of the work to be caught by the mop.
5. Always be ready to use the foot stop (emergency stop button). Have
your foot ready to press it if necessary.
6. Although the buffing machine has two mops that rotate at the same
time. The machine can only be operated by one person.
7. Read the general safety notes regarding safety in the workshop and
follow these when using equipment and tools. |
