Lockout/Tagout
Lockout/Tagout Guidelines
All lockout/tagout guidelines must be met according to
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147. A specific procedure should be
included in your company’s energy control program. This
manual is not intended to replace your company’s de-
energizing or lockout/tagout procedure required by OSHA,
but merely to provide general guidance.
The term “lockout,” as used in this manual, means placing a
lockout device on any and all energy sources to ensure that the
energy isolating device and the equipment being controlled
cannot be re-energized or operated until the lockout device is
removed. The photos on the next page show where the
electrical disconnects are located for this machine.
• Energy sources include electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical,
thermal, or other energy.
• In the case of electrical energy sources, the main power and control power to the
machinery must be turned off and physically locked in the “off” position.
• A lockout device is usually a keyed padlock.
• If more than one person is working in a restricted zone, use a group lockout device
that will allow each person to use a lock that can be removed only by the person
performing the maintenance.
“Tagout” means that a prominent warning is securely fastened to an energy-isolating
device to indicate that the equipment shall not be operated.
Whenever you see this symbol, lockout/tagout!

Pneumatic System Lockout/Tagout Procedure
When Lockout/Tagout is Not Required
If working on components other than the pneumatic system, but that requires you to be
near the vicinity of movable pneumatic components, you must, at a minimum, physically
restrain the pneumatic components from moving. If this is not possible, lockout/tagout the
entire pneumatic system.
When Lockout/Tagout is Required
Before attempting repair or maintenance on a pneumatic line or component, lockout/
tagout the machine properly. Follow your company’s approved lockout/tagout procedures.
Troubleshooting With an Energized Machine
Only a qualified electrician, using the personal protective equipment and following the
procedures recommended in NFPA 70E should ever attempt service or repair of or near an
energized area or component of the machine.
Whenever maintenance is performed while the equipment is electrically energized, there is
a potential electric arc flash hazard. Refer to NFPA 70E for the personal protective
equipment required when working with electrically energized components. Pneumatic and
hydraulic components may move unexpectedly if not de-energized. Physically restrain any
components capable of movement when working on or near those components.

Safety Test
This test procedure MUST be performed by qualified personnel at startup and after ANY
maintenance, adjustment, or modification. Testing ensures that the safety system and
machine control system work together to properly stop the machine.
1. Start the system.
2. Test that the E-stop circuit prevents movement:
a) While jigging a truss automatically, push the red E-stop button on the
operator control station. All PLANX should stop immediately.
b) Attempt to manually run the pucks on the first PLANX assembly by
pressing the FWD/REV button located on the control box for that
PLANX assembly.
c) The pucks should not move! Repair the electrical system if the puck
moves while the E-stop is actuated.
d) Repeat for all other PLANX assemblies.
e) Reset the E-stop circuit after testing by pulling straight out on the red
Estop button, then pressing the RESET button.
3. Lockout/tagout.
4. Check that all guards and safety devices are in place and secure.
5. Inspect the timing belts (2 per PLANX) for excessive wear.
6. Inspect the Acme screws and nuts for excessive wear. Rotate the Acme screw to
check the back side of crew.
7. Remove any foreign objects that may have fallen into the PLANX slot.
8. Ensure that the Acme screws are lubricated. See the Maintenance Checklist.
9. Remove the lockout/tagout devices.
