Operating Safety Precautions
WARNINGS for Operation
The machine is protected by safety covers, and while the covers are open the
machine will not run. Do not operate the machine when the safety features are dis-
abled or a cover is removed. This can cause a severe accident.
The machine must be operated by just one person at a time.
Do not place your hands or fingers under the knife or the clamp.
Select one person to supervise use of the machine. Only that person should have
access to the key.
When you lift or lower the backgauge, do not place your hands or fingers between
the back-gauge and the table.
Do not operate the machine with any of the covers removed. There are rotating
mechanical parts and electrical parts with extremely high voltage inside the
machine. These can cause severe personal injury or an electrical shock.
Each operator should be familiar with the safety instructions, be aware of the poten-
tial dangers, and have sufficient knowledge of how to manage an accident. Anyone
who does not have this training should not operate the machine.
Perform the safety checks listed in “Checks Before Operating” before you do the
first operation of each day. Do not place your hands or fingers under the knife or the
clamp.
CAUTIONS for Operation
Do not cut anything besides paper. This may damage the machine.
Do not cut staples or paper clips, because this will damage the knife. This may also
damage the rest of the machine.
If you turn off the key switch, wait about ten seconds before turning it on again.
