Safety
As in any occupation which requires you to perform the same motion
repeatedly during the course of your work, it is important to consider how you
perform your task. Always use proper operating procedures when working at
your Model 72 Rapid Extraction Desk. Follow the directions for using and
adjusting your chair and desk. Using improper procedures can result in a
potentially serious injury.
• Maintain an upright body posture. Avoid the tendency to slump in your chair.
The angle between your torso and thighs should always be 90 degrees.
• Adjust the seat position on your chair so that your elbow, when held at a 90-
degree angle at your side, is approximately 1½ inches below the top of the
Model 72 work surface. For your comfort, we recommend use of a specially-
designed OPEX ergonomic desk chair to ensure proper posture and seat
position.
• Occasionally change the angle of your posture for greater comfort.
• If possible, avoid operating the machine for longer than a single 8-hour shift.
• If your Model 72 is equipped with the optional height adjustment, adjust the
height of the desk so that you are able to work comfortably in a position
which maintains good posture. If your Model 72 is not equipped with the
height adjustment, adjust the leveling feet on the desk to provide greater
comfort while operating the machine.
While no suggestions can guarantee completely against work-related injuries,
you will certainly increase your comfort and safety while operating the
Model 72 if you put these suggestions into practice. The Model 72 has been
designed with you in mind. If it is operated correctly, you should find your work
experience comfortable and enjoyable.
Safety while operating the machine:
• If your desk has the optional lift system, care must be taken to not create a
pinch point between the desk and your body as the height adjustment is
activated in the down travel mode.
• Keep hands, hair, loose clothing and jewelry away from moving parts.
CAUTION
Caution: To reduce possible risks, we strongly urge you to follow these
suggestions:
