There are two emergency stop buttons 4 & 5 that will completely shut the machine down. Either red
button will stop all machine mechanisms when pushed in (off) overriding all other controls. If the
mechanisms do not shut off or stop when either button is pushed, request that maintenance be
performed on the safety system.
The emergency
stop buttons must be twisted out (on) for normal
operation.
Knowledge of the location and function
of these emergency stops is emphasized.
These buttons should be used for any of the
following type of emergencies:
– unauthorized individual getting too close
to the machine.
– objects falling into machine.
– a machine component breaks.
– a material hose becomes disconnected.
– anything requiring immediate stopping
of the machine.
For PTO models, you will have to push the reset
button
3 in order to restart the machine after the
emergency stop buttons are twisted back out (on)
and front guard is closed for machine operation.
If any safety switch interlock should become damaged,
replace it; keep your machine safe.
During machine operation, always turn off the “rocker type” master switch
6
(light indicates switch is on),
and unplug the remote cord from the receptacle
7
before removing any guards for any reason!
During machine operation, always stand on the floor to deposit material into the hopper. Under no
circumstances should your hand, arm, stick, broom or any other object be used to move or force feed
material down into the hopper. The
Volu-Matic 200 machine is a self-feeding design requiring no outside
assistance for smooth flow.
Operators should wear hearing protection if the machine noise makes them uncomfortable or noise
level exceeds acceptable standards. CertainTeed Machine Works recommends that the operator wear
an “approved” dust mask or respirator for their protection. Safety features are incorporated into the
Volu-Matic 200 machine to protect from serious injury. Operate your machine according to the outlined
instructions in this manual with all safety features in place and working properly. Operating the machine
in an unsafe manner can result in serious injury or death.
