SAFETY FIRST
BASIC
Your new BAUMFOLDER paper folding machines have 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 certain to follow these
safety precautions:
1. Study the safety instructions at your plant and those
provided in this manual.
2. Study the operating instructions carefully before
operating the machine.
3. Make sure that your co-workers are familiar with the
work process, potential danger areas,
and all necessary safety measures.
4. Make sure that the machine is in good working order
before turning it on.
5. If the machine suddenly stops for whatever reason, do
not restart it right away. Someone may have stopped the
machine, but failed to press the emergency (Stop)
button. If the machine is restarted unexpectedly, your
co-worker could be seriously injured.
6. Always press the emergency (Stop) button first if you
stop the machine for adjustments or maintenance work
which must not be done while the machine is in opera-
tion.
7. For extensive maintenance or repair work, turn off the
main power supply.
8. Never use improper or defective tools.
9. After making adjustments or after doing maintenance or
repair work, always make sure that all tools and other
objects are removed from the machine. Otherwise, they
might fall into the machine, causing severe damage or
injuries.
10. Make sure that all safety devices are in place before
restarting the machine.
11. Never clean moving parts of the machine (rollers, shafts,
etc.) or remove any test sheets or paper jams while the
machine is running.
12. Keep the floor around the entire machine clean. Immedi-
ately clean up any oil, grease, or paint spills from the
floor. Remove tools, cleaning cloths, and paper scraps
from all work areas.
13. Never allow unauthorized personnel to make adjustments
on the machine, remove problem sheets, or start the
machine.
14. Never climb over the machine or crawl into it while it is
turned on.
15. Immediately repair or replace any safety devices which
have become ineffective or are missing.
16. Report any exposed cables or exposed electrical connec-
tions.
17. Always have a certified qualified electrician perform all
electrical maintenance.
18. Do not make adjustments or perform maintenance with
the power on.
19. Become familiar with and follow the safety labels on the
next page. Replace any of these labels that are damaged
or lost.
Additional Notes:
20. Do not attempt to remove a paper jam, no matter how
minor it may appear to be, while the machine is running.
21. When cleaning the fold rolls, use the handwheel for
turning. Be sure the power to the machine is off.
22. Turn off the machine before making any adjustments to
the scoring, perforating, or slitting attachments. Keep
hands and clothing away from the slitter shafts when the
machine is running.
