1.3 Safety
Safe operation and maintenance of the unit
must be the first priority of all supervisors,
operators, and maintenance personnel. Safety
begins with safe work habits. In addition, the
unit is equipped with built-in safety features for
protection.
Safe Work Habits
During Daily Operation
• Take the atwork only after it has
cleared the unit. Do not pull on the
nished atwork while it is still in the
machine.
• Post the “Operator Safety” reminders
in a place where everyone will see it.
Read these reminders and follow the
recommendations.
• Read and follow all safety labels.
• Keep hands and clothing away from the
moving parts of the ironer while it is
operating.
• Always turn o the unit before clearing
a jam.
• Operate the unit only with all guards and
endframe doors in place and all safety
features operating correctly. Never
operate the unit with any safety features
bypassed.
• Never stand, sit, or kneel on a receiving
shelf.
Maintenance and Repair
WARNING
Always use extreme caution
when performing any
repairs that require the unit
to be operating.
Keep hands and loose
clothing from coming into
contact with any of the
moving parts.
Serious Injury Could Result.
When the unit is running,
one person should be ready
at a red safety STOP button
at all times to
stop the unit if necessary.
Before attempting any repair work, review
these safety steps and precautions to protect
yourself and the machine.
• Safety should be the primary concern
of anyone performing corrective
maintenance.
• Except where specically directed, make
sure that the main disconnect switch to
incoming power is OFF and the machine
completely COOL.
• It is recommended that all maintenance
procedures be handled by at least two
qualied persons. Using the “buddy
system” facilitates a quicker procedure
and decreases the risk of an accident.
• Your site should have procedures that
comply with government regulations and
standards for equipment lockout/tagout
during maintenance and repair. Ask your
supervisor for specic information. It
is the users’ responsibility to make sure
they comply with all safety procedures.
