Preface
1
This safety guide provides employers and employees with important safety information they
should know when they purchase AMADA press machines.
Safety information for using press machines is also available in the operator’s manuals of press
machines and the warning labels affixed to the press machines. Before you use the machine,
fully understand all of these pieces of safety information.
The safety guide contains information on residual risks of the machine. Fully recognize hazards
associated with machine installation, workpiece and die setup, machine operation, inspection,
cleaning and maintenance, and other tasks. On your own responsibility as employer, take
safeguarding measures to suit the environment of your shop and the method of using your
machine. Also conduct safety and health education for your operators.
The Industrial Safety and Health Act states that employers must take machine safeguarding
measures.
(See “Responsibilities of employer” on the next page.)
Several examples of preventive measures are introduced here. Safeguarding devices
recommended by AMADA are offered as options. Please study and adopt them.
When you retrofit safeguarding devices to your already installed machine, you may have to
modify the machine and its controls. When you study what safeguarding devices to adopt,
please contact AMADA.
For machine safeguarding procedures, etc., refer to “Guidelines for the Comprehensive
Safety Standards of Machinery” published by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare
(LSB Notification No. 0731001, revised on July 31, 2007).
