16. If your operation is going to be noisy, please let others know in advance when possible.
If it’s noisy from vibration, it’s a bad setup. Change it.

to clean a machine. Follow up with the air as needed.
(This keeps noise down and chips out of the machine ways.)

or if you are unsure, don’t do it. Wait and ask some one with experience on the type of setup.
