General Machine Safety

The Scott Heavy Duty Tabcutter is a safe machine if operated properly.
The machine's operation should be explained to all operators so that they understand exactly how the
machine works.
THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE TAKEN:
Always set toggle switch in center position when adjusting knives.
Always tilt table up before making any knife adjustment.
Always turn off air by means of the ball valve which is located at the lubricator assembly.
Always adjust safety bar close to the knife blades so that there is no room for a person's fingers between
the safety bar and knives. To make this adjustment, loosen the two wing nuts at each end of the safety
bar, move it close to the knives and tighten. All operators should be instructed to do this.
Never let anyone operate the micro--switch with his finger. Use a piece of paper. The switch is a
hair--trigger and the machine is extremely fast.
Instruct everyone to never put their hands near the knives, especially at the extreme ends. When the
machine is in operation no one should be behind it or put their hands near the knives.
