Sinclair Electronic Automatic Grommet PG-239, Operating Manual

Page: 17 / 29

SECURITY
As we have indicated in the manual, the PG-239 machine has a series of protection devices to
prevent the operator from getting his fingers caught or any other kind of accident. PLEASE DO
NOT REMOVE THESE PROTECTION DEVICES.
The most dangerous area in the PG-239 is the grommeting area “C” where the operator may get his
fingers or his hands caught. In order to prevent this, some protection devices have been installed:
In figure 4 “C” we indicate the area we consider dangerous for the operator.
This area “C” is protected by:
- A part #167 transparent acrylic shield that allows vision but does not permit the worker to
introduce his hands, indicated in figure 4.
- A ring guard part #165 indicated in figure 7, that prevents the worker from accidentally introducing
fingers or hands in the grommeting area.
- The waste material pipe #350 is used for absorbing the remaining pieces of material that are left
after the grommeting action. This pipe allows the operator to work more comfortably.
These protection devices are tightly held through screws, that prevent them from becoming
detached.
All areas considered dangerous are marked and securely enclosed.
The sticker shown in figure 5 warns you that the grommeting area "C" is a dangerous area, and the
machine must always be unplugged before making any adjustments in that area.
All mechanical, electric and pneumatic parts are securely enclosed and tightly screwed up.
When the machine includes an optional device such as a laser pointer part #155C, you must not
shine this pointer directly in anyone’s eyes since it could be harmful, and keep it away from
children.
We strongly warn you that for any adjustment or any other manipulation that needs to be done, the
machine must be disconnected from the electrical power source and the compressor air inlet.
For any problem that may arise and can not be solved, please call the nearest distributor or get in
contact directly with Sinclair Equipment.
