Safety Symbols and Plates
ROTATING KNIVES SAFETY PLATE
(One located on the front of the cutting chamber and
one on the front of the cradle)
The rotating knives are razor-sharp to the touch.
Always verify that the rotor is not moving. Avoid
personal injury by making sure that the rotor is
stopped and the power is disconnected and locked
out before opening the machine. A motion sensor
monitors the rotor and disables the hydraulic
cylinder/jackscrew controls if there is movement. If
you see the rotor spinning after opening the machine,
immediately shut down the machine and call for
service.
Wear protective gloves whenever you work around
the rotor knives. To avoid jamming your fingers
between the rotor knives and the bed knives, refer to
the information for safely clearing a jammed cutting
chamber later in this section.
MOTOR ROTATION SAFETY PLATE
(Located on the door of the jackscrew console)
A REMINDER TO THE ELECTRICIAN to
check the motor rotation. It is important to check
the motor rotation whenever electrical
connections to the motor are being made or have
been disturbed for maintenance. The wrong
rotation direction can cause personal injury (by
throwing debris back toward the feed hopper
opening) and/or by damaging the knives.
NOTE: The drive motor direction arrow plate is
located on the top surface of the drive guard
toward the front of the machine.
