Warnings and Precautions
Our machines are designed to provide safe and reliable operation when installed and operated
within design specifications, and follow national and local safety codes.
To avoid possible personal injury or equipment damage when installing, operating, or
maintaining this machine, use good judgment and follow these safe practices:
LEARN AND OBEY
your company’s safety policy regarding
mechanical and electrical
equipment.
MOVING OR LIFTING THE MACHINE:
Although our equipment is built and engineered
for great ruggedness in operation, care must be taken when moving the machine along
the floor or lifting it. Damage may occur to sheet metal covers, electrical cabinets, or
small brackets if pressure is applied to them when moving the machine. When lifting
the machine, be certain the total machine weight does not exceed the capability of the
lifting equipment.
EQUIPMENT LOCATION:
Adequate area for routine maintenance should be provided in
order to open the machine for service. Proper service area clearances also should allow
people who are working on the machine to be clearly visible to others, thereby
reducing the potential safety hazards.
SAFE HOUSEKEEPING:
The work area must be kept clean and uncluttered during
periods of operation or maintenance. No hand tools or other metal objects should be
left on or around the machine.
SAFETY GLASSES OR A FACE SHIELD MUST ALWAYS BE WORN
when servicing or
operating the machine.
EAR PROTECTION:
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 has established
guidelines for Permissible Noise Exposures (OSHA 1910.95) that should be followed.
CUT RESISTANT GLOVES MUST ALWAYS BE WORN
when servicing or handling knives.
NEVER
attempt to operate the machine unless it is fully assembled with all guards and
interlocks in place and functional.
OBSERVE
all danger, warning, caution and safety labels on the equipment.
Upon completion of any machine maintenance, be certain
ALL SAFETY GUARDS AND
COVERS
are securely and properly fastened prior to resuming machine operation. All
fasteners must be in place and properly tightened.
ANY SHORTCUTS MAY RESULT IN
INJURY TO PERSONNEL OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
NEVER
wear any loose fitting clothes, neckties, or dangling items such as earrings,
belts, or shoestrings. Jewelry, such as wristwatches, bracelets, or rings should NEVER
be worn. Long hair must be tied back or placed in a tight fitting hairnet. NEVER lean
against or rest hands or feet on the equipment when it is in operation or open for
maintenance. NEVER stand on the machine when it is in operation.
