Additional Safety Instructions for
Ironworkers
1.HYDRAULIC INJECTION INJURIES. Be familiar with the hydraulic system of this machine and with the hydraulic safety sec- tion in this manual. Until you have a clear understanding about hydraulic injection inju- ries, how they occur, and how to avoid them, DO NOT use this machine.
2.OPERATOR PROTECTION. Processed workpieces can be hot and sharp. Wear heavy leather gloves when handling the workpieces. Metal chips or debris can be rapidly thrown toward the operator during operations. Always wear an ANSI approved full face shield, and heavy leather body, arm, and foot protection when using this machine.
3.SINGLE OPERATOR. When in operation, multiple stations are active at the same time but there is only one set of controls. This machine was designed for use by only one operator at a time.
4.DISCONNECT POWER. Unexpected acti- vation of the machine while hands are near any processing station could cause serious personal injury. Disconnect the machine from power before making adjustments to tooling or performing setup, maintenance, or service to this machine.
5.GUARDS AND PANELS. The guards and access panels are designed to protect the operator from injury when the machine is in operation. Always keep all guards and access panels in place and secured before beginning operations.
6.KEEP HANDS AND BODY CLEAR. Each station of the Ironworker is designed to cut or shear metal, NOT body parts. Always keep your hands and body clear of the cut- ting operation when activating the machine with the foot actuator.
7.IRONWORKER TOOLS. The tremendous force this machine bears on each workpiece can break or shatter tooling if not properly setup. Make sure that all tooling, even in stations that are not currently in use, is prop- erly mounted and secured before beginning operations.
8.UNATTENDED OPERATION. To avoid the risk of injury from unexpected movement of the beam and tooling, always turn the motor OFF before walking away from this machine. When leaving the machine for an extended period, disconnect it from power.
9.SECURE WORKPIECE. Workpieces that are not properly supported and secured can rapidly move toward the operator when force is applied. Always firmly secure the workpiece with the devices provided. Make sure workpieces are firmly supported on both sides of the punch/cut. For long stock, use additional support at both ends.
10.EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties per- forming the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Technical Support Department at (570)
Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are fre- quently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
