AEC OFE Blender - Manual (Page 16)

OFE Series Weight Loss Feeders Page 15
ONLY YOU can make safety work for you by constantly thinking
about what is safe and what is not. It is often the “just once” that
an operator reaches into the feeder to remove material and it results
in serious injury.
Learn and always use safe operation. Cooperate with co-workers
to promote safe practices. Immediately report any potentially
dangerous situation to your supervisor or appropriate person.
REMEMBER:
• NEVER place your hands or any part of your body in any
dangerous location.
• NEVER operate, service, or adjust the feeder without
appropriate training and first reading and understanding this
manual.
• NEVER try to pull material out of the feeder with your hands
while it is running!
• Before you start the feeder check the following:
• Remove all tools from the feeder;
• Be sure no objects (tools, nuts, bolts, clamps, bars)
are laying in the hopper area;
• If your feeder has been inoperative or unattended,
check all settings before starting the unit.
• At the beginning of your shift and after breaks, verify
that the controls and other auxiliary equipment are
functioning properly.
• Keep all safety guards in place and in good repair.
NEVER attempt to bypass, modify, or remove safety
guards. Such alteration is not only unsafe, but will
void the warranty on your equipment.
• When changing control settings to perform a different
mode of operation, be sure selector switches are
correctly positioned. Locking selector switches
should only be adjusted by authorized personnel and
the keys removed after setting.
• Report the following occurrences IMMEDIATELY:
• unsafe operation or condition
• unusual feeder action
• leakage
• improper maintenance
