2.2 Operator Safety Notes
NEVER ATTEMPT TO REMOVE OR ADJUST JAMMED LINEN WHILE THE MACHINE IS
IN OPERATION.
Attempting to reposition or free jammed linen while the machine is under
power can result in machine damage (best case) or serious injury or death (worst case). REMOVE
POWER TO THE MACHINE and allow it to cool before attempting removal of jammed goods.
Ironer surfaces can reach temperatures well in excess of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 degrees Cel-
sius), not something you want to touch.
NEVER REACH around the safety guards or into any area near heated surfaces or moving parts
without first powering down the machine and allowing it to cool. Failure to follow this instruction
can lead to serious injury or death.
Check operation of the finger safety guard at the start of every work shift. Activating this guard
should stop the machine. If this important safety device is not working, power off the machine
and notify your manager. DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE until the safety guard is working
properly.
Make sure that all guide tapes and belts are in place and tensioned properly. Missing or improperly
adjusted tapes and belts will cause performance, quality, and production problems. Maintaining a
proper waxing schedule also keeps the machine performing at peak efficiency and quality.
Only flatwork should be processed in the ironer - processing goods the machine is not designed to
handle can lead to damage to the machine or personal injury.
Do not stand, sit, or kneel on any part of the ironers front or rear - these parts are not designed to
carry your weight.
Follow all lock-out/tag-out procedures when servicing the ironer. Remember, when servicing the
machine, power must be disconnected at the main disconnect switch.
Only you can protect yourself by reading and understanding these precautions. Help protect oth-
ers by making sure all personnel follow these instructions. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry
while operating this machine. Stay away from moving parts and heated rolls.
If in doubt, ask your manager or contact Technical Service to find out how to safely operate the
ironer. Remember, only those qualified should service the ironer.
