User Warnings
•
All moveable parts of the machinery must be set so as not to allow its movement through
the cutting/pressing area of adjacent machinery.
•
All machine and components should be inspected upon delivery and at weekly intervals for
looseness, fracture, bends, sharp edges or surfaces and any other condition that may
contribute to a human mishap or further deterioration of the machine. We suggest a log be
kept for this purpose.
•
When broken, damaged, or loose parts (or any condition that may represent a hazard) are
observed, corrective action should be taken immediately. Inadequate attention to maintain
the machine can cause the premature failure of these parts. We suggest this information also
be logged.
•
The electrical boxes should be locked at all times to avoid casual entry by unauthorized
persons, as touching live surfaces is hazardous.
•
Split, broken, warped, twisted or material with excessive wane should be avoided or used with
caution because of the greater possibility of the material not being held securely during
manufacturing processes.
•
The machine is not to be used for any other purpose than the nailing of timber components.
•
Keep hands out of moving parts on the machine. Operators should be instructed not to extend
fingers or limbs into or beyond the vicinity of the warning labels. The danger here is obvious
–
fingers in these areas will risk mutilation.
•
Be sure the machine is completely free of foreign objects, and that all guards are in place
before connection to electrical and/or pneumatic supply.
•
Any guards removed for maintenance or adjustments
must
be replaced before the machine
is put back into service.
•
Exceeding the capabilities of the machine will void the warranty and could lead to a serious
injury.
•
All Operators should read and then sign the register of this manual before operating the
Wall Extruder to ensure they are thoroughly familiar with the machine capabilities and
limitations and to ensure correct operating procedures are adhered to.
•
Failure to perform the daily and weekly service checks as per the schedule may result in
serious machine damage or a severe accident.
WARNING!
This machine must only be operated by personnel who have been
properly instructed in all aspects of the machine’s safe operation. They must also

understood this operation and service manual.
