WARNING:
Install reset switches properly
Failure to properly install reset switches could result in serious injury or death.
Install reset switches so that they are accessible only from outside, and in full view of, the safe-
guarded space. Reset switches cannot be accessible from within the safeguarded space. Protect
reset switches against unauthorized or inadvertent operation (for example, through the use of
rings or guards). If there are any hazardous areas that are not visible from the reset switches, pro-
vide additional safeguarding.
All reset switches must be:
Outside the guarded area
Located to allow the switch operator a full, unobstructed, view of the entire guarded area while the reset is performed
Out of reach from within the guarded area
Protected against unauthorized or inadvertent operation (such as through the use of rings or guards).
IMPORTANT: Resetting a safeguard must not initiate hazardous motion. Safe work procedures require a
start-up procedure to be followed and the individual performing the reset to verify that the entire haz-
ardous area is clear of all personnel before each reset of the safeguard is performed. If any area cannot
be observed from the reset switch location, additional supplemental safeguarding must be used: at a mini-
mum, visual and audible warnings of machine start-up.
As described in "Calculating the Safety Distance (Minimum Distance)" on page 22 , properly position the EZ-SCREEN
SLS such that an individual cannot reach through the defined area and access the hazard point before the machine has
stopped.
Additionally, the hazard cannot be accessible by reaching around, under, or over the defined area. To accomplish this, sup-
plemental guarding (mechanical barriers, such as screens or bars), as described by ANSI B11.19 safety requirements or oth-
er appropriate standards, must be installed. Access will then be possible only through the defined area of the
EZ-SCREEN
SLS System or through other safeguarding that prevents access to the hazard (see " An example of supplemental safeguard-
ing" on page 27 ).
The mechanical barriers used for this purpose are typically called "hard (fixed) guarding"; there must be no gaps between the
hard (fixed) guarding and the defined area. Any openings in the hard (fixed) guarding must comply with the safe opening re-
quirements of ANSI B11.19 or other appropriate standard.
