A per-machine start-up checklist for manufacturing operators and setup technicians to complete before beginning a production run. Covers pre-start safety inspection, lubrication and fluid checks, tooling and fixture setup, program and parameter verification, first-article inspection, and run confirmation.

A systematic start-up procedure prevents damage to expensive machinery, reduces scrap from incorrect setups, and ensures operator safety before the machine runs at speed. It's especially critical after changeovers, maintenance, or extended shutdowns.
