5. Carefully grasp the sides of the Upper Tool Holder and raise it until a positive stop position is
reached. With a calibrated measuring instrument (Digital calipers are best), measure the
vertical distance between the upper and lower Anvils. If this measurement
is at least a
minimum of 1/4 in. /6 mm, go to Instruction 6.
a. If this dimension is less than 1/4 in. /6 mm, the Safety System has failed!
Immediately turn the machine off by pressing the red Off Switch and turning the Main
Disconnect Switch to the
Off position. The machine’s Main Disconnect Switch must be
locked in the Off position until repairs are begun and follow Lock-out/Tag-out procedures.
Do not operate this machine until qualified personnel have repaired the machine and the
Non-Conductive Mode has been properly tested.
6. Next keep your hands away from the tooling area. Turn machine back “ON” and depress the Down
Foot pedal switch a second time. The machine should exert the pre-set 3,000 lb. /13 Kn force to
both upper and lower Anvils and then return to its Up position.
If this machine completes the above sequence correctly, the test of
the Safety Sensors and Safety System is complete and operating
properly.
There are three (3) Steps in this testing procedure.
Do not skip or ignore any of them!
