Growster Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Our key-machines are used by a number of different people, usually locksmiths walking in, who are allowed to cut their keys themselves. I noticed, that it's somehow "cool" or common practice to just leave the machine running, while one changes the blank. That has now been strictly forbidden, because someone could accidentally just bump into the keycutter - and "chop" goes the finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 having seen someone with the results of a "chopped" finger many years ago & the trouble it caused him I ALWAYS turn the machine of & ALWAYS wear my goggles! Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Friend Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I of course always turned it off - Not - and in 35 years I have one small scar to prove it - I know it makes sense -Like turning off the elctric when I wire a fused spur up and so does staying under the speed limit, Ok until you get caught. In todays solictor and 'We make plenty of bucks from you' law firms, if you employ people YOU MUST comply and even then some smart low life solicitor will prove that you should have fitted CCTV above the cutters and safety intelocks as his client was never stopped from doing it until the day he lost 3 fingers.

Growster Posted November 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Get yourself a nice silca bravo, No more missing fingers The only logical reason for you to say would be an automatic switch-off when you pull the key-feeding handle back. Is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaloti Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I dont let anyone come into my shop and use my machines except Mrs boss. I dont turn the machine off when I change the blank and if you want to come up behind me when I'm opperating any sort of machine, your going to get a clump. There, now p%*s off, you've had your bloody toolbox talk for this month. PS Always, always wear safety glasses. you have limited control over swarf.

Damn right I had to have a rusty bit of metal scraped off my eyeball with a scalpel 2 days after getting it in my eye. Doc said if I'd left it much longer infection could have got worse and could have lost the sight in one eye. Now I always wear goggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamparker Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I like all my fingers on my hand so its always off for me. Personally anyone who doesn't . But thats just my opinion. I have even given one of our employees a written and verbal warning about not switching the machines off as there is no way he is claiming compensation when a finger or two disapear.
