8. Start the machine. With the machine in motion, interrupt the sensing field with the test
object. The machine should stop immediately. (Never insert the test object into the
dangerous parts of the machine.)
With the machine at rest, interrupt the sensing field with the test object. Verify that the
machine will not start with the test object in the sensing field.
9. Verify that the braking and machine stop systems are working properly in accordance with
the machine manufacturer’s requirements. If the machine does not stop fast enough,
adjust the braking system or increase the distance from the sensing field to the point of
hazard.
10. If the safety devices or the machine fails any of these tests, do not run the machine.
Immediately lock out the machine to prevent its use and notify the supervisor.
If muting is used, interrupting the light curtain during the non-hazardous portion of the
stroke (upstroke) will not stop the machine. To test, you must interrupt the stroke on the
downstroke, which is the hazardous portion of the stroke.
