WARNING: Pinch hazard
Never remove or disable safety devices to sustain production. Operating
without these devices could lead to hazardous conditions that can cause
severe injury.
• Walk-through style belt guards which protect from injury, but also, allow
side entry for ease of operation. Upper and lower belt guards independ-
ently protect the operator from being caught in the belts or associated
driven sheaves (sprockets).
• The power cord is attached to the upper guard by a receptacle on the
rear side of the guard. You must disconnect this power cord to remove
the upper belt guard, ensuring that the puller will not start if the upper
guard is not in place.
• The flip up safety switch on the discharge end of the upper belt guard
allows operation only when in the down position. If a finger or piece of
clothing is caught on the upper belt and drawn in, the guard flips up and
immediately shuts off the power to the entire combination puller/cutter.
• The “Emergency Stop” button is located on the control panel and on top of
the upper belt guard at the upstream end. Pressing either of these buttons
disconnects power to the entire unit. The “Emergency Stop” must be physi-
cally pulled up to reset the switch and start the combination puller/cutter
again.
• When the knife guard is opened, the knife guard switch stops the cutter.
• Two proximity safety switches prevent cutter operation unless the cutter
bushings are in place.
• The “Stop” button on the puller and cutter controls activates a circuit that
stops the puller and cutter knife.
