Mr. Anderson
March 31, 2025

The figure guard alarm on the LaserLine Flatwork Ironer Series indicates that the red safety finger guard, which covers the moving parts at the front of the unit, has been triggered. This safety feature physically restricts access to prevent injury and signals a potential safety breach.

Mr. Anderson

The LaserLine Flatwork Ironer Series won't run due to the finger guard alarm because the red safety finger guard, which covers moving parts at the front of the unit, is designed to immediately stop all rotating parts when activated. This safety feature prevents operation if it's triggered, ensuring hands are kept away from moving and heated parts.

  • Page 215 3010-025 GENERAL TORQUE SPECIFICATION CHART These torque values are approximate and should not be accepted as accurate limits. Indeterminate factors (surface finish, type of plating and lubrication) in specific applications preclude the publication of accurate values for universal use. DO NOT USE the below values for gasketed joints or joints of soft materials. DO NOT USE your torque wrench for values greater than its maximum scale reading.

  • Page 237 Tip - Flatwork Warm Rinse A warm rinse allows more water to be extracted from the material. This means the ironer needs to remove less moisture from the flatwork to produce a dry, high quality finish. Furthermore, the ironer can be run faster if the final rinse is warm.
