# Powered Equipment

* Do not operate any machine until you have completed the training on it.
* Wear extra eye protection such as a face shield when in situations creating high eye hazard potentials such as grinders etc. This is IN ADDITION to your normal safety glasses.
* Start and stop your own machine. Remain with it until it has come to a complete stop.
* Only one person should operate a machine unless the process requires a helper.
* Always allow a safe distance between your hands and blades or rotating parts. Keep fingers in such a position that there is no danger of fingers slipping into the cutter or other moving parts.
* Keep the machine clear of tools, scraps, and other items.
* Keep the floor around machines clear of liquids, scraps, tools, and materials.
* Give the machine your undivided attention while you are using it. Do not look away to talk to others.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.cherokeemakerspace.org/index/wiki/safety/safety-guidelines/powered-equipment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
