1.3 Safety
Safe operation and maintenance of the unit
must be the first priority of all supervisors,
operators and maintenance personnel. Safety
begins with safe work habits. In addition, the
unit is equipped with built-in features to promote
safety.
Safe Work Habits
During Daily Operation
Take the flatwork only after it has
cleared the unit. Do not pull on the
flatwork while it is still in the machine.
Post the “Operator Safety” reminders
in a place where everyone will see it.
Read these reminders and follow the
recommendations.
Read and follow all safety labels.
Keep hands and clothing away from the
moving parts of the folder while it is
operating.
Always turn off the unit before clearing
a jam.
Operate the folder only with all guards
and endframe doors in place and all
safety features operating correctly.
Never operate the unit with any safety
features bypassed.
Never stand, sit or kneel on any part of
the unit.

Maintenance and Repair
WARNING
Always use extreme caution
when performing any repair
procedure that requires the
unit to be operating.
Keep hands and loose
clothing from coming into
contact with any of the
moving parts.
Serious Injury Could Result.
When the unit is running, one
person should be ready at a
red safety STOP button at all
times.
Before attempting any repair work, review
these safety steps and precautions to protect
yourself and the unit.
Safety
should be the primary concern
of anyone performing corrective
maintenance.
Except where specifically directed, make
sure that the main disconnect switch to
incoming power is OFF.
It is recommended that all maintenance
procedures be handled by at least two
qualified persons. Using the “buddy
system” decreases the risk of an
accident.
Your site should have procedures that
comply with government regulations and
standards for equipment lockout/tagout
during maintenance and repair. Ask your
supervisor for specific information. It
is the users’ responsibility to make sure
they comply with all safety procedures.
