Most of the equipment at PS1 requires authorization before you can use it. Authorization will acquaint you with basic operational and safety procedures, but doesn't generally include extensive instruction on how to best use each piece of equipment. For that, you have several options, including online sources, classes at one of the several Chicagoland organizations that offer them, or a knowledgeable member.

You are responsible for becoming properly authorized, and access to most equipment is via the honor system (the main exceptions being the computer-controlled tools, e.g. the [[Shopbot PRS CNC router|ShopBot]] or the [[Epilog 30w Mini 24 Laser Engraver|Epilog]], which require that your authorization be recorded on the member site in order to log in to the computer). Negligent or improper use of a piece of equipment can result in loss of access. See the [Authorization Policy] for details.

Authorization requirements can be found on the wiki page for most pieces of equipment. Tools should have an [Template:EquipmentPage|equipment label] on it that lists the appropriate wiki page URL.
