■ USA and Canada: TRUMPF also recommends that the safety regulations for ANSI press brakes be observed. Warnings and warning signs Certain operations can be a source of danger during operation.
The user may use the machine only in the industrial sector. Installation, operating and transport conditions defined by TRUMPF must be adhered to and maintenance work must be carried out in accordance with the Operator's manual. The user must observe the specifications of the country in which the machine is being operated as well as national and regional safety and accident prevention regulations.
Authorized personnel ■ Operation, setting and maintenance work may only be car- ried out by authorized, trained and instructed personnel. ■ Qualified personnel may: − Transporting the machine to the installation site. − Carry out work at the hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical assemblies.
Hazards Dangers due to the open electrical cabinet The electrical cabinet may be opened only by an electrician. Electrical voltage! DANGER Electric shock! Ø Keep the electrical cabinet closed. Before opening the electrical cabinet: turn off the MAIN Ø SWITCH and secure it against being switched back on again.
Dangers handling workpieces Processing workpieces can be dangerous. These dangers and measures are different for every workpiece. Sharp-edged workpieces Workpieces have sharp edges! WARNING Risk of injury! Wear personal safety equipment. Ø Upper and lower tool Upper and lower tool Fig.
Flange of the workpiece Side swivels far out Fig. 55869 Hand gets caught Fig. 55828 Hold workpiece from the side Fig. 53449 The flanges of the workpiece swivel upwards or WARNING downwards during bending! Risk of injury, crushing! Ø Maintain sufficient distance to the workpiece. Ø...
Bend internal flanges Fig. 71123 When bending tabs on the inside the workpiece swivels WARNING downwards! Risk of injury, crushing! Maintain sufficient distance from the workpiece and from the Ø lower tool clamp. Ø Position the workpiece such that hands and fingers do not get clamped.
Improper handling of flat workpieces Correctly bending flat workpiece Fig. 77538 ■ Hold onto the workpiece by the front corners: − Thumbs lie on the workpiece. − Palms of hand hold the workpiece from below. Improper handling when bending boxes Bending box correctly Fig.
■ Hold the workpiece at the right and left between your thumb and index finger. ■ When holding, do not reach into the box with your hands. Due to the bending operation, fingers or your hand can be crushed or caught between the workpiece and upper tool. Dangers due to unexpected movements The backgauge can move unexpectedly and at high speeds!
Measures to be taken by the manufacturer The danger zone of the machine is safeguarded by safety equip- ment. The machine may only be operated with these safety devi- ces. 1‐12 Measures to be taken by the manufacturer 2019-07-09 B1161en...
