IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGE FOR OWNERS/OPERATORS OF REEL GRINDERS
Safety is a primary concern in the design, manufacture, sale,
and use of reel grinders. As manufacturer of reel grinders, we
want to confirm to you, our customers, our concern for safety. We
also want to remind you about the simple, basic, and common
sense rules of safety when using a reel grinder. Failure to follow
these rules can result in severe injury or death to operators or
bystanders.
It is essential that everyone involved in the assembly, operation,
transport, maintenance, and storage of this equipment be
aware, concerned, prudent, and properly trained in safety.
Always use proper shielding as specified by the manufacturer.
Our current production machines include, as standard
equipment, guards or shields for the grinding wheel, safety
signs and an operators manual. Never bypass or operate the
machine with any of the guards or safety device removed.
Read and fully understand all the safety practices discussed
on pages 4 and 5 of this manual. All safety rules must be
understood and followed by anyone who works with reel
grinders.
Before operating a reel grinder, an operator must read and
understand all of the information in the owner’s manual and in
the safety signs attached to the product. A person who has not
read or understood the owner’s manual and safety signs is not
qualified to operate the unit. Accidents occur often on machines
that are used by someone who has not read the owner’s
manual and is not familiar with the equipment. If you do not have
an owner’s manual or current production safety signs, contact
the manufacturer or your dealer immediately.
Reel grinders are designed for one-man operation. Never
operate the grinder with anyone near, or in contact with, any part
of the grinder. Be sure no one else, including bystanders, are
near you when you operate this product.
Following these simple, basic safety rules, as well as others
identified in the owner’s manual and in product safety signs, will
help minimize the possibility of accidents and increase your
productivity in using this product. Be careful and make sure that
everyone who operates the grinder knows and understands that
this is a very powerful piece of machinery, and if used
improperly, serious injury or death may result. The final
responsibility for safety rests with the operator of this machine.
