Safety Information

Buyer understands that holes must never be cut in machine or fiber duct near a nip point due to the safety hazard to employees and customer assumes full liability for such holes if cut. Buyer is responsible for the safe operation and maintenance of the equipment. Before performing any cleaning or maintenance, the disconnect should be in the OFF position and LOCKED OUT with an approved lock and LOCK OUT/TAG OUT system. Removal of guards or safety devices voids manufacturer's warranty and may result in personal injury. Therefore, once cleaning or maintenance is completed, be sure to replace all guards and safety devices. To avoid a safety hazard, NEVER operate the equipment without guards and transitions are in place and doors locked.
