1.2 General Safety Guidelines
Providing a safe working environment for operating your machine is the responsibility of the user. The
suggested precautions, material safety data and other suggestions that follow do not have preference over
the user’s own plant practices, regulations or safety committee recommendations.
Personal injury and equipment damage can be avoided by the continued adherence to the safety features
provided with this machine and in keeping with the necessary governmental requirements. The guarding
and interlocking safety switches have been installed on the machine for the operator’s safety. These items
should be maintained in good working order by the user.
It is assumed that the user’s safety department has established a safety program that is in keeping with a
complete analysis of industrial hazards. Before installing and operating or performing maintenance and
clean--up procedures on the machine, it is suggested that the safety program be reviewed to ensure that it
covers the possible hazards that might occur with the operation of this machine.
Due consideration must be given to those hazards which arise from the presence of electrical power, high
temperature, and cleaning materials used in the operational areas of the machine. Proper installation and
care of protective devices and over--pressure protective equipment should be considered an essential part of
any safety program.
Special lock--out features are to prevent the possibility of applying power to the equipment at any time when
maintenance work is in progress.
In general, personnel should be guided by all basic rules of safety associated with the equipment and the
process. It should be further understood that information contained in this manual does not relieve operating
and maintenance personnel of the responsibility of exercising normal good judgment in operating and care of
the machine and its attendant equipment.
