Scout 320 REV 3:2018
2.4 Safety
Warning safety switches should always be in place during bar
load operation.
The Scout is designed to be safe and reliable to operate. However, the machine can be
dangerous if used improperly by untrained personnel. Personnel should be familiar with the
operating instructions of the equipment before using and must follow standard safety practices.
The machine is equipped with safety devices to prevent accidental damage to the machine and
injury to the operator. These devices must not be bypassed or tampered with.
2.4.2 Covers
Warning covers should always be in place during bar load
operation. The Scout is supplied with covers to prevent access to moving
parts during operation. The hood of the machine is equipped with a safety
switch to place the machine in alarm if the hood is not closed. The magazine
cover prevents access to the material on the rack and the bar separators.
2.4.3 Lathe Door Safety
Warning lathe door safety if used should not be bypassed
An input to the Scout for monitoring the lathe door is available. If used, this input will prevent
movement of the machine when the lathe door is open. This parameter is normally set during
machine installation. It is not advisable that this feature is disabled once enabled.
