Plexiglas to facilitate observation of the manufacturing process. • Be aware of high sound levels. While the Polishing Spindle MFT air motor is not loud, the cutting action associated with many processes frequently is. Always use hearing protection while working in the neighborhood of the production cell.
2.9 Transportation and Protection during Transportation The MFT is packaged in a crate designed to secure and protect it during transportation. Always use the crate when transporting the MFT in order to minimize the risk of damage.
• Install a barrier to prohibit people from approaching the MFT while in operation. • Never be present near the MFT while it is started or running. If it is necessary to approach the MFTwhile in motion, stand behind appropriate Plexiglas windows.
