## Machine Safety

It is the students' responsibility to wear appropriate clothing in the FabLab Model Making space.

When using the hot wire foam cutters ensure that you are:

* Wearing closed toe shoes.
* Working underneath exhaust tubes.
* Your hair is tied back.

When working **with or around another person** using the hot wire foam cutters, please be mindful of space and objects placed around the machines.&#x20;

Make sure offcuts are being disposed of into the bins provided to avoid clutter.

**Never touch the wire with your hands unless you are 100% sure the machine is OFF.**
