Metalworking machines can be dangerous without the right training.
So, before you begin, make sure you understand the risks and safety steps.
First, read the general safety rules for metalworking machines.
Then, review the owner manual for each tool you plan to use.
Also, get full instructions and proper training before using any machine or hand tool.
If you’re unsure about anything, ask a supervisor or trained assistant right away.
The Processes Lab includes many different machines and tools to support your work and learning.
