SAFETY SIGNS
In order that press brake operators and maintenance
personnel may be warned of certain potential hazards
that may exist - unless specified procedures are followed
– a number of warning signs are attached to
CINCINNATI Hydraulic Press Brakes. Warning signs
are not intended to be a substitute for reading and
understanding this
SAFETY section and machine
Operation and Maintenance manual.
The warning signs are placed at strategic points on the
press brake for the most effective use. It is intended that
they become a permanent part of the equipment and,
therefore, must not be removed, covered, hidden or
defaced. All signs installed on the machine by
CINCINNATI INCORPORATED are identified by a
small six digit part number in the lower right corner. If
any of these plates become damaged or defaced, new
ones should be ordered by contacting the factory or the
nearest CINCINNATI Sales and Service Office.
The following illustrations are warning signs most
commonly used on the hydraulic press brakes. Some
other signs may be furnished to cover possible hazards
due to special equipment or machine features. The user
management should also include additional warning
signs to cover any hazards that may be presented by
customer-added auxiliary equipment.
HAZARDOUS AREA (232913)
This sign warns of a hazardous area between the
machine housings at the rear of the press brake. The sign
is attached to a steel restraining cable which spans the
space between the housings. No one should enter this
area while the machine drive motor is running or the
control is energized.
DIE AREA (153725)
This DANGER sign warns the operator to keep his
hands out of the die area (point-of-operation). The sign
is usually attached to one end of CINCINNATI dies and
not on the press brake. These adhesive backed signs
have been furnished in safety update packages and are
available from CINCINNATI INCORPORATED.
