    SECTION NUMBER SAFETY INFORMATION...
  • Page 10 SAFETY INFORMATION GENERAL It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that future operators and maintenance personnel are fully trained in the correct use, upkeep and maintenance of the machine and that this practice is maintained throughout it’s working life. It is recommended that each operator take the time to read through this manual in full before operating the machine.
  • Page 11 POTENTIAL PINCH POINT While in the design of the STR 750 Duct Forming Machine the blade guards cover the creasing area when in operation it is advised that operators as a matter of course, keep their hands clear from this area when the machine is operated.
  • Page 12 MANUAL HANDLING Some of the flat packed STR 750 Duct Forming machine parts are heavy and require care when handled manually. There are some basic principles that everyone should observe, prior to carrying out a manual handling operation: Ensure that the object is light enough to lift, is stable and is unlikely to shift or move.
  • Page 13 PPE supplied. The following personal protective equipment (but not limited to) has been identified as being required when operating the STR 750 Duct Forming Machine. Appropriate protective overalls. Safety boots with steel protective toe caps and souls.
  • Page 14 GENERAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS WHEN USING COMPRESSED AIR USING COMPRESSED AIR TO CLEAN: If allowed by the company, compressed air may be used to clean hard-to-reach areas as long as safety procedures are followed. When using compressed air for cleaning, you must use an air nozzle that allows no more than 30 pounds per square inch of pressure.
  • Page 15 CLEANING OFF THE BODY WITH COMPRESSED AIR CONTINUED When compressed air enters the ear canal, serious damage can occur that may lead to permanent hearing loss. Perhaps the most serious type of air-related injury occurs when compressed air is blown under the skin. Known as an air embolism, this type of injury can be fatal. When an air pocket reaches the heart, it causes symptoms similar to a heart attack.
