Magnetic Hazards
1
CAUTION
The magnetic head pulley and cross-belt con-
veyor contain very strong magnets, which can
be dangerous to anyone wearing a pacemaker or
other implanted system that is sensitive to mag-
nets. Stay at least 10 ft (3 m) away from a mag-
netic head pulley.
Guards and Shields
Guards and shields have been placed on the machine to
help prevent injury. But stay alert—do not rely on
guards to protect you from not paying attention.
•
Belt and chain guards cover rotating shafts, drive
belts, and drive chains.
•
A finger guard helps prevent the moving belt of the
discharge conveyor from trapping fingers where it
travels down on the return run.
•
A welded wire frame keeps hands and fingers away
from the engine fan.
•
A ladder provides safe access to the anvil lift area
on the belt (right) side of the machine.
•
Hand holds and handrails are located where opera-
tors need support or a grab point when moving from
one part of the machine to another.
While the machine is running, keep clear of all moving
parts such as pulleys and conveyors. Keep all guards in
place during operation.
