Your new Baum paper folding machine has been designed

in accordance with the latest safety specifications. The

warning and caution labels on the machine must remain in

place. Make sure all guarding provided is in place before

starting up and running the machine.

Due to the nature of the work process of paper folding

machines, there are parts and areas on the machine which

cannot be completely covered without interfering with the

operation of the machine. Therefore, sound personal work

habits and strict observance of all safety precautions is

required for the protection of the operator, co-workers, and

the machine.

Be sure to follow these

safety precautions:

1. Study the safety instructions at your plant and those

work process, potential danger areas,

and all necessary safety measures.

Immediately clean up any oil, grease, or paint spills

from the floor. Remove tools, cleaning cloths, and

ments on the machine, remove problem sheets, or start

the machine.

minor it may appear to be, while the machine is

running.
