HAZARDOUS METALS
Your machine was designed specifically for metal
working. However, some metals, such as beryllium,
magnesium and lead, have characteristics which, if not
handled properly, will cause serious injury or death.
•
Know the material you are working with and the
hazards it presents.
•
Do not work materials which require specialized
equipment or a controlled atmosphere unless your
machine has been specifically designed and
installed for that purpose.
Standard machines sold
by Marvel Manufacturing Co. Inc. do not meet
those special requirements.
HIGH PRESSURE FLUIDS
•
Fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin
and cause serious injury and death.
•
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines.
•
Look for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect
your hands and body from exposure to the fluid.
•
If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately and
inform them of the nature of the accident. Injected
fluids must be surgically removed within a few
hours or gangrene will result.
PUNCHING AND SHEARING
EQUIPMENT
•
Always wear gloves when handling stock which has
been punched or sheared. The edges can be
extremely sharp.
•
Never place your hands inside the safety guards.
•
Keep fingers and hands away from the tooling.
•
Always use the holddowns supplied with the
machine to clamp the material.
•
Turn off the machine before changing the tooling.
