3. Machine Guards
No one intentionally puts
their hand into a chain sprocket, or moving blade! Guards are there to protect you
if your attention “slips” or the vessel rolls awkwardly.
! Action points
Never remove covers while a machine is in operation.
This includes to clear blockages!
Never operate the machine with the covers or
guards off!
If you must remove covers for cleaning or maintenance
make sure the machine is isolated and tagged or tapped off.
Never by-pass or short circuit safety cut-out switches.
