SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IN GENERAL:
576AC Chipless Sever Module
When using rotating head cutting equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury .
Operate this tool only in accordance with specific operating instructions.
WARNING:
DRESS CONSIDERATIONS:
WORK AREA:
Do not override the deadman switch on the power unit. Locking down, obstructing, or in any way defeating the deadman switch on the power drive unit may result
in serious injury .
Use standard safety equipment. Hard hats, safety shoes, safety harnesses, protective clothes, and other safety devices should always be used when appropriate.
Use safety glasses. Do not operate cutting tools without eye protection.
Dress properly . Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry . They can be caught in rota-
ting and moving parts. Avoid slippery floors or wear nonskid footwear . If you have
long hair , wear protective hair covering to contain it.
Keep the work area clean. Cluttered work areas and benches invite injuries.
Consider the work area environment. Keep the area well lit. Keep electrical cords,
cables, rags, rigging straps, etc. clear of rotating equipment. Do not use power
cutting tools in the presence of flammable liquids and gasses.
Keep visitors away . Do not let visitors or untrained personnel at or near operating
tools. Enforce eye protection requirements for all observers.
Do not over reach. Keep proper footing at all times.
Stay alert. W atch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tools
when you are tired.
TOOL CARE:
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools in good operating condition. Sharp tool bits
perform better and safer than dull tool bits. Well maintained tools function properly
when needed.
Check for damaged parts. If a tool has malfunctioned, been dropped or hit, it must
be checked for damage. Run no-load tests and feed function checks. Do a complete visual inspection.
Electric motors. Use only with proper AC volt age power sources and observe all
normal electric shock hazard procedures.

AREA EQUIPMENT:
TOOL USE:
Do not abuse power and control cords. Pulling or running over cords and cables
can result in electrical shock hazards and malfunctions. Keep control and power
cords out of all cutting fluids and water.
Hydraulic drives. Observe proper procedures for electrically driven power sources.
Avoid damage to hydraulic lines. Keep quick-disconnects clean. Grit contamination causes malfunctions.
Air tools. Check the exhaust muffler . Broken or damaged mufflers can restrict air
flow or cause excessive noise. Use air motors only with a filtered, lubricated and
regulated air supply. Dirty air, low pressure air or over pressure air will cause
malfunctions, including delayed starting.
Secure work. Whenever possible use clamps, vises, chains and straps to secure
pipe.
Make sure the tool is secured; it is safer to have both hands free to operate the
tool.
Us the right tool and tool bit for the job. Do not use a tool which is incorrect for the
job you are doing.
Keep the tool bits fully engaged in the tool bit holders. Loose bits are a safety
hazard.
Disconnect power supply during setup and maintenance. Use all stop or shut-off
features available when changing or adjusting tool bits, maintaining the tool, or
when the tool is not in use.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before applying power to the equipment.
Develop a habit of checking the tool before turning it on to make sure that all keys
and wrenches have been removed.
Do not force tools. T ools and tool bit s function better and safer when used at the
feed and speed rate for which they were designed.
Do not reach into rotating equipment. Do not reach into the rotating head stock to
clear chips, to make adjustments, or to check surface finish. A machine designed
to cut steel will not stop for a hand or an arm.
Handle chips with care. Chips have very sharp edges and are hot. Do not try to
pull chips apart with bare hands; they are very tough.
Avoid unintentional starts. Do not carry or handle tools with your hand on the operating switches or levers. Do not lay the tool down in a manner which will start the
drive. Do not allow the tool to flip around or move when adjusting or changing tool
bits.
Store idle tools properly. Disconnect tools from the power source and store in a
safe place. Remove tool bits for safe handling of the tool.
