MACHINERY GUARDS Cont.

Two Hand Control

On single stock machines worked by a single operator only, protection may be provided by controls that require 2 separate buttons to be pressed simultaneously and held during the full time the machine movement is dangerous, i.e. when press platen are closing.

  • Release of either button must cause the machine to retract or stop allmovement
  • The buttons must be positioned more than a hand span apart and be of the recessed type that cannot be wedged.
  • The control circuit must be such that both buttons must be released before a new operating cycle can be started.
