GUARD AGAINST TIPPING (416875)
The design of hydraulic press brakes is such that
much of the weight is concentrated toward the
front of the machine. This sign cautions that the
machine should be guarded against tipping until
it is anchored to the floor. The sign refers to the
Operator’s manual for complete installation
instructions.
