ENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CLIMAX leads the way in promoting the safe use of portable machine tools and valve testers. Safety is a joint effort. You, the end user, must do your part by being aware of your work environment and closely following the operating procedures and safety precautions contained in this manual, as well as your employer’s safety...
Lock-out/tag-out – Lock-out and tag-out the machine before performing maintenance. Moving parts – CLIMAX machines have numerous exposed moving parts and interfaces that can cause severe impact, pinching, cutting, and other injuries. Except for stationary operating controls, avoid contact with mov- ing parts by hands or tools during machine operation.
ISK ASSESSMENT AND HAZARD MITIGATION Machine Tools are specifically designed to perform precise material-removal oper- ations. Stationary Machine Tools include lathes and milling machines and are typically found in a machine shop. They are mounted in a fixed location during operation and are considered to be a complete, self-contained machine.
ISK ASSESSMENT CHECKLIST The following checklist is not intended to be an all inclusive list of things to watch out for when setting up and operating this. However, these checklists are typical of the types of risks the assembler and operator should consider. Use these checklists as part of your risk assessment: 1-2.
ABELS 1.7.1 Label identification The following warning and identification labels should be on your machine. If any are defaced or missing, contact CLIMAX immediately for replacements. 1-4. D ™ ABLE EFENDER LABELS P/N 96876 P/N 96877, 96878 H&S tool hori- H&S Tool vertical...
