Additional Safety Instructions for
Ironworkers
Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are fre-
quently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and
caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or
ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
1. HYDRAULIC INJECTION INJURIES. Be
familiar with the hydraulic system of this
machine and with the hydraulic safety sec-
tion in this manual. Until you have a clear
understanding about hydraulic injection inju-
ries, how they occur, and how to avoid them,
DO NOT use this machine.
2. OPERATOR PROTECTION. Processed
workpieces can be hot and sharp. Wear
heavy leather gloves when handling the
workpieces. Metal chips or debris can be
rapidly thrown toward the operator during
operations. Always wear an ANSI approved
full face shield, and heavy leather body,
arm, and foot protection when using this
machine.
3. SINGLE OPERATOR. When in operation,
multiple stations are active at the same time
but there is only one set of controls. This
machine was designed for use by only one
operator at a time.
4. DISCONNECT POWER. Unexpected acti-
vation of the machine while hands are near
any processing station could cause serious
personal injury. Disconnect the machine
from power before making adjustments to
tooling or performing setup, maintenance, or
service to this machine.
5. GUARDS AND PANELS. The guards and
access panels are designed to protect the
operator from injury when the machine is
in operation. Always keep all guards and
access panels in place and secured before
beginning operations.
6. KEEP HANDS AND BODY CLEAR. Each
station of the Ironworker is designed to cut
or shear metal, NOT body parts. Always
keep your hands and body clear of the cut-
ting operation when activating the machine
with the foot actuator.
7. IRONWORKER TOOLS. The tremendous
force this machine bears on each workpiece
can break or shatter tooling if not properly
setup. Make sure that all tooling, even in
stations that are not currently in use, is prop-
erly mounted and secured before beginning
operations.
8. UNATTENDED OPERATION. To avoid the
risk of injury from unexpected movement
of the beam and tooling, always turn the
motor
OFF before walking away from this
machine. When leaving the machine for an
extended period, disconnect it from power.
9. SECURE WORKPIECE. Workpieces that
are not properly supported and secured
can rapidly move toward the operator when
force is applied. Always firmly secure the
workpiece with the devices provided. Make
sure workpieces are firmly supported on
both sides of the punch/cut. For long stock,
use additional support at both ends.
10. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY. If at any
time you are experiencing difficulties per-
forming the intended operation, stop using
the machine! Contact our Technical Support
Department at (570) 546-9663.
