SAFETY SWITCH SYSTEM
The safety switch system has an ampli-
fier which utilizes prewired safety switches
on certain covers and guards to prevent
the machine from operating when these
covers or guards are opened or removed.
î WARNING: A qualified trained
person must check the safety switch
system for proper function before oper-
ating the machine. There is a problem
with the safety switch system if the
machine can be started while any cover
or guard that is equipped with a safety
switch is opened or removed. DO NOT
operate the machine in this condition!
Serious injury such as amputation
could result!
SAFETY SWITCH
The safety switch consists of two parts,
the sensor and the actuator (Figure 9).
The sensor is attached to certain fixed
components on the machine and sends a
signal to the amplifier. The actuator is
attached to certain covers and guards and
must be aligned and within 1/16" (1.6 mm)
of the sensor.
