Additional Safety for Slip Rolls
OVERLOADING. Overloading this machine can cause injury from flying parts or property damage. Do not exceed the machine capacities.
SECURING SLIP ROLL. Before using, secure the slip roll to a sturdy vise that is securely fastened to a workbench that can support the weight and dynamic forces involved in forming sheet metal. Otherwise, the slip roll may unexpectedly move or fall, causing serious injury or property damage.
METAL EDGES. Sharp edges on sheet metal can result in severe cuts. Always wear leather gloves before handling sheet metal, and chamfer and debur edges.
TOOLS IN POOR CONDITION. Using the slip roll with loose or damaged hardware could result in sudden, uncontrolled movements during use. Inspect the slip roll for any cracked linkage, con- trols, or loose fasteners. Correct any problems before use.
GLOVES AND GLASSES. Always wear leather gloves and approved safety glasses when using the slip roll.
HEATING METAL. Heating the workpiece with a torch while it is in the slip roll will weaken the metal of the rollers and the frame. Do not use a torch or other similar heating tool near the slip roll.
BAcK INJURIES. The cranking motion required to operate this slip roll is potentially harmful if proper technique is not used. To avoid back inju- ries, keep your back vertical and never
CRUSHING & PINCHING INJURIES. Slip rolls can quickly crush or pinch fingers or hands. Never place fingers or hands between or near the rollers during operation.
Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to decrease the risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre- cautions are overlooked or ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.
No list of safety guidelines can be com- plete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equip- ment, or poor work results.
