8.14.1.101 Threading machine safety warnings
a) Keep floor dry and free of slippery materials such as oil. Slippery floors invite accidents.
b) Restrict access or barricade the area from bystanders when the workpiece extends beyond the machine to provide a minimum of one metre clearance from the workpiece. Restricting access or barricading the work area around the workpiece will reduce the risk of entanglement.
c) Do not wear gloves. Gloves may be entangled by the rotating pipe or machine parts leading to personal injury.
d) Do not use the machine for other purposes such as drilling holes or turning winches. Other uses or modifying this machine for other applications may increase the risk of serious injury.
e) Secure the machine to a bench or stand. Support long heavy pipe with pipe supports. This practice will prevent the machine from tipping.
f) While operating the machine, stand on the side where the operator control switch is located. Operating the machine from this side eliminates need to reach over the machine.
g) Keep hands away from rotating pipe and fittings. Stop the machine before wiping pipe threads or screwing on fittings. Allow the machine to come to a complete stop before touching the pipe. This practice will reduce the risk of entanglement in rotating parts.AS NZS 62841.3.12 pdf download.
