Edwards JAWS Ironworkers feature a centrally located, integrated Con-
trol Panel. Hazardous voltage is present within the control panel.
The panel should only be opened and serviced by authorized personnel.
An external power source enters this panel and is distributed to the vari-
ous working components of the machine.
Push to Start
This button energizes the machine. When energized this recessed but-
ton is internally illuminated and will glow green. If the machine does
not start when pressed an emergency palm stop button may have been
previously pressed and will need to be reset to allow for the start button
to energize the machine.
Emergency Palm Stop
This button de-energizes the machine and contains a manual, safety
reset function. The projecting, red, palm stop style button is set within a
safety yellow bezel and is pushed to de-energize the machinery. Once
de-energized the machine requires the palm stop to be re-set prior to
energizing the machine. Simply rotate the emergency palm stop button
clockwise. The button will retract and the machine will be available for
powered operation.
Lockout/Tagout
This round, safety red switch is set within a square, safety yellow
housing. The switch allows for proper procedures to be followed
when de-energizing, isolating, and ensuring the energy isolation of
the Ironworker. The Lockout/Tagout switch is used, in conjunction with
Owner safety and maintenance programs to ensure that equipment and
machinery is de-energized and isolated from unexpected start-up by
physically locking machinery in a state of zero energy.
To lockout the Ironworker turn the red switch counterclockwise until
the black tagout bar is horizontal. Pull the black, spring-loaded tagout
mechanism to install the maintenance/safety lock and tag provided by
the Owner of the machinery. The machine is now de-energized and is
available for authorized personnel to maintain and service the machinery.
To open the control panel for servicing, gently pull the ‘hopper-style’
hinged cover. The cover will not open fully until a safety yellow thumb
slide located within the safety yellow housing is rotated clockwise.
Reverse operation following service to resume Ironworking.
