Guidelines for Safe Operation
Superlight VI S afety Light Curtain
13. Management must decide that personnel
protective safety equipment is required to
perform each job safely. Items such as safety
glasses, shoes, gloves, helmets, hand pads,
spats, protective sleeves, and material handling
equipment are common in the metal working
industry. If noise levels are excessive, protective
head sets and ear muffs are recommended.
14. When designing point of operation guarding,
the manufacturing process should be weighed
heavily in favor of operational safety.
15. Establish safe and convenient material handling
methods and procedures.
16. Post in convenient areas the names, addresses,
and phone numbers of physicians and hospitals,
and members of the organization who are to be
called in case of emergency.
17. All equipment must be electrically connected
according to the National Electric Code and be
consistent with other accepted practices.
18. Provide adequate and proper fire protection
equipment.
Power Press Guarding
1. Press manufactures do not know and cannot
foresee the magnitude of potential applications
of power presses. Therefore, only the press
user can determine the type of guards that have
to be used in order to perform the job safely. It
is the responsibility of the user management to
make certain that point of operation guarding
and other necessary safety devices are
installed. The press should be guarded in such
a manner that it is impossible for the operators
to place their hands or any other part of the
body in the die area.
2. The press user should become thoroughly
acquainted with the safety devices commonly
employed in power press operations.
3. Feeding devices are strongly recommended,
since they remove the operator from the
die area, and therefore allow more effective
utilization of guards and safety devices.
4. Do not release a press for production before
installing and testing all guards and covers.
5. Make frequent evaluation checks of all guarding
and devices while the press is running. Correct
all unsafe findings immediately.

Power Press Care Throu gh Inspe c t ion and
Maintenance
1. All maintenance and inspection personnel should
be specifically instructed, and must understand
proper maintenance and inspection procedures
contained in this manual.
2. Set up a daily, weekly, and monthly press
inspection program. Use a checklist and verify
that the job is done correctly.
3. Establish a preventative maintenance program.
Records of all maintenance work performed must
be kept.
4. Since all equipment has a limited life, high quality
maintenance personnel are required to obtain
maximum usage of your equipment.
5. Releasing a power press for production following
maintenance should be the responsibility of a
qualified individual assigned by management.
6. To maintain the original level of press reliability,
careful inspection of mechanical, electrical, and
pneumatic areas must be made. This may give
an advance warning of a hazard which then can
be corrected to prevent possible injuries and
damage.
S afety Enforcement
In order to have an effective safety program, management
at all levels must enforce every safety rule and regulation.
Strong disciplinary measures are sometimes required.
They should consist of a warning, written reprimand, work
suspension, transfer, demotion, or possibly a dismissal.
All infractions must be reported and recorded. Once an
infraction is noted, it shows that an unsafe practice or
condition has existed. This may be the result of poor
planning or improper training and instructing. The reason
for the infraction should be analyzed in order to take
corrective action.
Supervisor Training
It should be the responsibility of management to instruct
their supervisors on safety, giving job instructions,
supervising operators, determining accident causes,
and building safety attitudes among the press operators.
Many accidents have occurred due to a supervisors lack
of training.
