Hold daily equipment inspections in addition to regular maintenance checks. You will
keep your equipment safe for production and exhibit your commitment to safety.
Please read and use this manual as a guide to equipment safety. This manual contains
safety warnings throughout, specific to each function and point of operation.
Operator Responsibility
The operator’s responsibility does not end with efficient production. The operator
usually has the most daily contact with the equipment and intimately knows its
capabilities and limitations.
Plant and personnel safety is sometimes forgotten in the desire to meet incentive
rates, or through a casual attitude toward machinery formed over a period of months
or years. Your employer probably has established a set of safety rules in your
workplace. Those rules, this manual, or any other safety information will not keep
you from being injured while operating your equipment.
Learn and always use safe operation. Cooperate with co-workers to promote safe
practices. Immediately report any potentially dangerous situation to your supervisor.
NEVER
place your hands or any part of your body in any dangerous location.
NEVER
operate, service, or adjust the temperature control unit without appropriate
training and first reading and understanding this manual.
NEVER
try to pull material out of the temperature control unit with your hands while
it is running!
Before you start the temperature control unit, check the following:
Remove all tools from the temperature control unit;
Be sure no objects (tools, nuts, bolts, clamps, bar) are laying
in the area;
If your temperature control unit has been inoperative or unattended, check all settings
before starting.
At the beginning of your shift and after breaks, verify that the controls and other
auxiliary equipment are functioning properly.
Keep all safety guards in place and in good repair.
NEVER
attempt to bypass, modify,
or remove safety guards. Such alteration is not only unsafe, but will void the warranty
on your equipment.
When changing control settings to perform a different mode of operation, be sure
selector switches are correctly positioned. Locking selector switches should only be
adjusted by authorized personnel and the keys removed after setting.
Report the following occurrences
IMMEDIATELY:
unsafe operation or condition
unusual temperature control unit action
leakage
improper maintenance
NEVER
stand or sit where you could slip or stumble into the
temperature control unit while working on it.
DO NOT
wear loose clothing or jewelry, which can be caught while working on the
temperature control unit. In addition, cover or tie back long hair.
Clean the temperature control unit and surrounding area
DAILY
, and inspect the
machine for loose, missing or broken parts.
