Aligning brackets
When mounting your brackets you can draw a leveling line using the center of the bracket
holes as the end points (see the next illustration). When you mount the Shadow VI flanges
onto the bracket holes, the Shadow light curtains will be aligned (or at least very close).
Use a plumb or leveling line and square to properly align the brackets. Use the bed of your
press (if applicable) or the floor as a leveling reference point. Make sure that the brackets are
placed in the same plane.

Maximum Openings for Side Guards
When mechanical side guards are used in addition to the Shadow light curtains for three
sided-guarding, you must ensure that the openings between or around the guards meet
OSHA requirements. You must also make sure that the openings in the guard material itself
(wire, extruded mesh, rods, etc.) or openings between the guards and working surface meet
OSHA requirements.
OSHA requirements for the maximum openings allowed in guards or between the guards and
the top and bottom of the working surface are listed in OSHA Table 0-10. See Table 2–2.
