Large Dehumidifying Dryers Safety 10
employer probably has established a set of safety rules in your workplace. Those rules, this
manual, or any other safety information will not keep you from being injured while operating
your equipment.
Learn and always use safe operation. Cooperate with co-workers to promote safe practices.
Immediately report any potentially dangerous situation to your supervisor.
; NEVER place your hands or any part of your body in any dangerous location.
; NEVER operate, service, or adjust the dryer without appropriate training and first
reading and understanding this manual.
; NEVER try to pull material out of the dryer with your hands while it is running!
; Before you start the dehumidifying dryer, check the following:
• Remove all tools from the dryer;
• Be sure no objects (tools, nuts, bolts, clamps, bars) are laying in the
area;
; If your dryer has been inoperative or unattended, check all settings before starting.
; At the beginning of your shift and after breaks, verify that the controls and other
auxiliary equipment are functioning properly.
; Keep all safety guards in place and in good repair. NEVER attempt to bypass,
modify, or remove safety guards. Such alteration is not only unsafe, but will void the
warranty on your equipment.
; When changing control settings to perform a different mode of operation, be sure
selector switches are correctly positioned. Locking selector switches should only be
adjusted by authorized personnel and the keys removed after setting.
; Report the following occurrences IMMEDIATELY:
• unsafe operation or condition
• unusual dryer action
• leakage
• improper maintenance
• NEVER stand or sit where you could slip or stumble into the
dehumidifying dryer while working on it.
; DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry, which can be caught while working on the
dryer. In addition, cover or tie back long hair.
; Clean the dehumidifying dryer and surrounding area DAILY, and inspect the
machine for loose, missing or broken parts.
; Shut off power to the dryer when it is not in use. Turn the switch to the OFF
position, or unplug it from the power source.
Maintenance Responsibility
Proper maintenance is essential to safety. If you are a maintenance worker, you must make
safety a priority to effectively repair and maintain equipment.
Before removing, adjusting, or replacing parts on a machine, remember to turn off all electric
supplies and all accessory equipment at the machine, and disconnect and lockout electrical
and pneumatic power. Attach warning tags to the disconnect switch and air shutoff valve.
