Safety Symbols & Plates
ROTATING KNIVES SAFETY PLATE (One located on the front of
the cutting chamber and one on the front of the cradle)
The rotating knives are razor-sharp to the touch. Always verify that the rotor
is not moving. Avoid personal injury by making sure that the rotor is stopped
and the power is connected and locked out before opening the machine. A
motion sensor monitors the rotor and disables the jackscrew motors if there is
movement. If you see the rotor spinning after opening the machine,
immediately shut down the machine and call for service.
Wear protective gloves whenever you work around the rotor knives. To avoid
jamming your fingers between the rotor knives and the bed knives, refer to
the information for safely clearing a jammed cutting chamber later in this
section.
Ref. No. SPI-O30
MOTOR ROTATION SAFETY PLATE (Located on the door of the
jackscrew console) A REMINDER TO THE ELECTRICIAN to check the
motor rotation. It is important to check the motor rotation whenever electrical
connections to the motor are being made or have been disturbed for
maintenance. The wrong rotation direction can cause personal injury (by
throwing debris back toward the feed hopper opening) and/or by damaging
the knives.
*NOTE: The drive motor direction arrow plate is located on the top surface
of the drive guard toward the front of the machine.
