Daily Operations

Startup procedures - How to open the Hive

• Turn on the lights! Area light switches are on the black support pillars in the kitchen and meeting area. The main space light switch is by the back door.
• Turn on the "Hive Open" switch on the kitchen counter. Only do this if you're prepared to let in new people.

Using Hive13

• Report problems - Report broken or missing tools email the wardens.
• Respect the tools - Stay Safe.
  1. If you are unfamiliar with the proper operation of a machine or tool, research it on the wiki. Also contact the area warden or an officer before use.
  2. If you don't understand a tool, leave it alone. Don't mess with something you don't understand. Get Help. Read the tool wiki, Ask for help on Slack. Ask a Warden.
• Clean as you go - As with cooking in your own kitchen, cleaning at the hive is more easily managed in small bursts of activity. Put tools away and clean minor messes whenever you have a few moments of downtime.
• There are NO restrictions on the use of loud tools/music including: angle grinders, belt and disk sanders, air compressor/air tools, CNCs, etc.
