SAFETY WARNING: Any person who oper- ates, cleans, repairs, adjusts, installs or supervises the operation of or uses this machine in any way must know and follow all safety rules and operating principles set forth in this manual!
SAFETY Rules for Safe Operation READ AND PRACTICE SAFETY RULES IN THIS MANUAL: DANGER! This machine contains sharp knives and rotating parts. Never operate this machine if any cover, guard or safety device has been opened, removed, or modified; doing so can result in serious injury or amputation. When covers or guards are opened or removed, sharp edges and pinch points are exposed.
SAFETY Safety Signs Safety signs and safety switches are placed on Urschel ® machines to help you avoid personal injury. They are there for your protection. If your machine does not have these signs or switches, you must not operate the machine. Notify your supervisor and contact Urschel Laboratories, Inc.
