SMD Series Dehumidifying Dryers Page 19
Do not restore power to the dryer until all persons are clear of the
area. DO NOT start and run the dryer until you are sure all parts
are functioning correctly.
BEFORE you turn the dryer over to the operator for production,
verify all dryer enclosure panels, guards and safety devices are in
place and functioning properly.
2-8 Safety
2-8-1 Description and Objectives
This section includes information on safety devices and procedures
that are inherent to the SMD Dryer. This manual is not intended to
supersede or alter safety standards established by the user of this
equipment. Instead, the material contained in this section is
recommended to supplement these procedures in order to provide a
safer working environment.
At the completion of this section, the operator and maintenance
personnel will be able to:
• Identify and locate specific safety devices.
• Understand the proper use of the safety devices provided.
• Describe the function of the safety devices.
2-8-2 Safety Circuit Standards
Safety circuits used in industrial systems protect the operator and
maintenance personnel from dangerous energy. They also provide
a means of locking out or isolating the energy for servicing
equipment.
Various agencies have contributed to the establishment of safety
standards that apply to the design and the manufacture of
automated equipment. The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) and the Joint Industrial Council (JIC) are
just a few of the organizations that have joined with the plastics
industry to develop safety standards.
Every effort has been made to incorporate these standards into the
design of the SMD Dryer; however, it is the responsibility of the
personnel operating and maintaining the equipment to familiarize
themselves with the safety procedures and the proper use of any
safety devices.
