Additional Safety for Shear Brake
Machines
No list of safety guidelines can be complete#
Every shop environment is different# Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions# Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect#
Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results#
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine# Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention# Use this machine
with respect and caution to lessen the pos-
sibility of operator injury# If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur#
