SAFETY
Protective Devices
Safety switches (Figure 6) are provided
to prevent operation of the machine when
a protective cover or guard has been re-
moved. These switches must be checked
before operating the machine and repaired
or replaced if they do not work properly.
Never rely solely on these safety switches.
Always push the “O” (STOP) button then
disconnect and lock out the power
source before removing any part from the
machine.
Power disconnect/lockout switch (Figure
7), located on the starter enclosure, will
eliminate the danger of accidental start-up
when locked in the “O” (OFF) position.
A brake motor (Figure 8) is provided to re-
duce “coasting” stops of potentially danger-
ous parts of the machine.
Covers and guards protect potentially
dangerous machine areas. These covers
and guards are of utmost importance to
safe machine operation. Never attempt to
operate the machine with a cover or
guard removed or serious injury may
occur!
Covers and guards, safety signs, safety
switches, and brake motors are standard
equipment on newly manufactured machines
and are available for placement on older ma-
chines that may not have had them at the time
of original manufacture. Contact Urschel Lab-
oratories for complete information.
