CHAPTER 6 - SAFETY GUARD INSTALLATION
INTRODUCTION
- NOTE -
American National Standard B11.8 and O.S.H.A. Section 1910.212 assign respon-
sibility for point of operation safeguarding of milling machines to the employer/user.
Point of operation safeguarding should be used on milling machines to the greatest
extent possible to prevent injury resulting from the cutter, chips, or coolant.
This chapter provides basic information for the installation and use of the general purpose
safeguard. A safety guard is supplied with each machine. The safety guard is designed to provide
protection from chips and coolant.
Point of operation safeguarding is the responsibility of the employer or user. They are in the best
position to evaluate the safety requirements and ensure that the proper safeguards are employed.
There is no single safety guard that can match the versatility of the
EZ Vision
™ automated milling
machine. As a result, you will find that the general purpose safeguard, like all safeguards, will be
suitable for some operations, but not for others. Carefully analyze the operation to be performed
before deciding whether this safeguard is suitable. Adjust the safeguard to suit your special
requirements. If you find that it is not suitable for a particular application, you should use an alternate
form of protection.
- WARNING -
Some coolants and cutting oils contain chemicals harmful to the safety
guard.
These
chemicals
are:
Mono-ethanolamine,
Di-ethanolamine,
Tri-ethanolamine and the combination thereof. These chemicals may signifi-
cantly reduce the impact strength of the safety guard within days and could
destroy the safety guard within weeks.
Use of coolants or cutting oils containing any of these chemicals will void
the warranty on your safety guard and could expose the machine operator to
injury.
A safeguard DOES NOT take the place of any other safety practice or safety
equipment.
YOU MUST ALWAYS wear safety glasses and safety shoes.
YOU MUST ALWAYS stop the spindle of the machine completely before
changing or adjusting the workpiece, fixture, or tool.
YOU MUST NEVER wear gloves, long sleeves, long hair, rings, watches,
neckties, jewelry, or other loose items.
