hazards that may exist - unless specified proce-
dures are followed – a number of warning signs are
attached to CINCINNATI
Hydraulic Press Brakes.
Warning signs are not intended to be a substitute
for reading and understanding this Safety section
and machine Operation and Maintenance manual.
The warning signs are placed at strategic points on
the press brake for the most effective use. It is
intended that they become a permanent part of the
equipment and, therefore, must not be removed,
covered, hidden or defaced. All signs installed on
the machine by CINCINNATI INCORPORATED are
identified by a small six digit part number in the
lower right corner. If any of these plates become
damaged or defaced, new ones should be
ordered by contacting the factory or the nearest
CINCINNATI Sales and Service Office.
The following illustrations are of the warning signs
most commonly used on the hydraulic press
brakes. Some other signs may be furnished to cover
possible hazards due to special equipment or
machine features. The user management should
also include additional warning signs to cover any
hazards that may be presented by customer-added
auxiliary equipment.
DANGER (240008)
This warning sign is attached to the press brake
ram, which is the most visible location on the
machine. The sign is a reminder to operators or
maintenance personnel that certain procedures
must be followed to prevent serious bodily injury.
SAFETY GUIDELINES (240003)
This sign is attached to the ram adjacent to the
DANGER sign. It provides a checklist of safety con-
siderations which should be observed before, dur-
ing and after operation of the press brake.
HAZARDOUS AREA (232913)
This sign warns of a hazardous area between the
machine housings at the rear of the press brake.
The sign is attached to a steel restraining cable
which spans the space between the housings. No
one should enter this area while the machine drive
motor is running or the control is energized.
DIE AREA (153725)
This DANGER sign warns the operator to keep his
hands out of the die area (point-of-operation). The
sign is usually attached to one end of CINCINNATI
dies and not on the press brake. These adhesive
backed signs have been furnished in safety update
packages and are available from CINCINNATI
INCORPORATED.
