Release time:
2026/03/25
The key to safely operating pipe-processing machine tools lies in “standardized safety measures + rigorous procedures + continuous monitoring.” Any negligence may result in mechanical injuries or equipment accidents, so standardized operating procedures must be strictly followed.
I. Personal Protective Equipment and Dress Code Requirements
Before operation, you must wear standard-compliant personal protective equipment: wear safety shoes that are impact-resistant and slip-resistant, tuck in your sleeves, It is strictly prohibited to wear gloves, scarves, or accessories such as necklaces and bracelets to prevent them from being caught in rotating parts. Long hair must be tied back and a work cap worn. Safety goggles or a face shield must be worn during cutting and grinding operations to protect the eyes from flying metal shavings. If dust or fumes are generated, a dust mask must also be worn.
II. Pre-Operation Safety Inspection
Equipment Condition: Check that the machine tool is properly grounded, that all electrical components are secure, that there are no leaks in the hydraulic system, that saw blades or cutting tools have no cracks or broken teeth, and that clamping devices are secure;
Work Area Cleanup: Ensure the work area is free of oil, standing water, and obstacles, and that passageways are unobstructed to prevent slipping or restricted movement;
Workpiece Preparation: The surface of the pipe must be clean and free of oil. The clamping length must be at least 50 mm. After clamping, repeatedly check the tightness to prevent the workpiece from loosening and flying out during machining.
III. Safety Guidelines During Operation
Close the safety guard before starting the machine. After startup, run the machine idle for 5–10 minutes to check for abnormal vibrations or noises;
Never touch rotating parts while the machine is running; keep your head away from the cutting direction to prevent injury from flying pipe ends;
Power must be turned off and the machine stopped before changing speeds, taking measurements, adjusting tools, or cleaning pipe ends; operating while the machine is powered on is strictly prohibited;
When manually changing tools or adjusting dies, a designated person must perform the task to prevent accidental activation caused by unintentional button contact.
IV. Emergency and Post-Operation Management
If unusual noises, smoke, overheating, or program abnormalities are detected, immediately press the emergency stop button, disconnect the power supply, and report the issue to maintenance. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair core components on your own. After completing the operation, remove chips, wipe down the machine, check the condition of the lubricating oil and coolant, and shut down the power supply via the control panel followed by the main power supply.
