It's understandable not to know this, but I'm industry there's a standard practice of locking out equipment that's being maintained. Either by physically placing a lock on the power box or by simply putting the plug to the device in your pocket for smaller equipment. And then ensuring that all the energy in the equipment has been exhausted and that the machine cannot be started. This is the subject of one of many annual trainings for everyone in any given facility. When changing blades or cleaning equipment, it would be standard that it's locked out during this process. So wearing gloves and presumably arm guards to protect against laceration when working with blades would be not only acceptable but I imagine expected. Most of us have seen the "lathe video."

Yes, all what you said makes total sense. still, you don't want to have a standart work glove when dealing with moving blades, in germany that's also forbidden by security laws, out of the rasons I mentioned, maimed hands and so on. I must have met at least 8 - 10 people. but, yea, its a hand surgery facility. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Rubanski@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) I guess cleaning is not done while the band saw is moving permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] addictedtochaos@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) yes, that makes sense, i failed to understandt this part, the glove thing only applies to moving blades and discgrinder, oh, dont forget lathes and drill presses. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Rubanski@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago But in general you are absolutely right.
