Wood

The Woodshop (Trärummet) — cutting, planing, turning, sanding and bench work. Hand tools, clamps and turning tools hang on the wall racks.

Workbenches, wall-mounted tools and clamps, and the Solberga lathe

Rules

1. Pass the required courses before using the room or a machine.

2. Keep the door closed — keeps dust out of the rest of the space.

3. Eye protection and hearing protection. Dust mask when needed.

4. No gloves near moving machines. Tie back hair and beards, no loose sleeves, jewellery or cords. Closed shoes. No headphones.

5. Guards stay on. Know where the stop is before starting.

6. Hands away from blades and cutters. Use fences, clamps and push sticks.

7. Stay with a running machine. Don't distract or bump anyone who is cutting or turning.

8. Stop completely before changing setup, clearing offcuts or cleaning. Power off for blade changes and maintenance.

9. Keep walkways, exits and fire equipment clear.

10. Clean up machine, bench and floor. Return every tool. Tools never leave the room.

Materials

• No pressure-treated wood.

• No metal, stone, bricks or stone-like materials.

• Check timber for nails, screws, grit and loose knots. No reclaimed/pallet wood on the table saw or planer.

• Plastics: only where the machine page allows it, and ask about extraction first — the Felder is for wood dust only.

Dust extraction

1. Connect the hose, open your machine's gate fully, close the others. Check suction before cutting.

2. Stop if suction fails. Power off before clearing a blockage.

3. Close your gate when done.

4. Last to leave: close all gates and check the blower has stopped. Never leave it running overnight.

5. Check the bag before and during work — the fill sensor isn't reliable and the collector won't stop by itself when full.

6. Wet green-wood shavings must never go in the extractor.

7. Ceiling air filter: remote by the door — start it with a timer.

• Machine fault: stop, wait for standstill, power off. Put a "do not use" note on it and report in #trärummet-woodroom.
