2.1 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

DO NOT use this machine unless a qualified person has instructed you in the safe use and opera-
tion of the machine.
The most common metal guillotine injuries are crushed or amputated fingers.

Most of these accidents are not caused by the blade of the guillotine, but by the clamps that hold
the sheet metal being cut. Other injuries are from fingers jamming under the sheet that is to be
cut, and strain injuries while handling large and awkward sheets of metal.

By law, guillotines must be guarded, and operators must be trained. Safe working procedures must
be in place to prevent injuries.

Safety glasses must be worn at Sturdy footwear must be worn at

all times in work areas. Earmuffs all times in work areas.
should be worn if the work area is
noisy.

Gloves should be worn when han- Long and loose hair must be con-
dling the material used on this tained with a net or under a hat
machine.

The following guidelines can be used to identify workplace hazards and to reduce the risks when
using metal guillotines.
It is an unsafe practice for two people to work at a guillotine unless both operators are provided
with interlocked actuating devices (usually a foot control). However in some guillotine operations,
for example cutting large sheets, two operators may be required to maneuver the sheets into position
before cutting. For such operations safe work procedures should be developed to control any
hazards.

3.2 MACHINE LEVELING

To set your machine up so that it operates to optimum performance, apply the following procedure
After your guillotine has been anchored to a concrete slab floor, it then needs to be leveled. The
leveling is performed using the screws on each pad.(Fig. 3.1). Loosen the hold down bolts and
place a level on the surface of the working table. Tolerances: 1000:0.30mm, for both longitudinal
and transverse.
Metal plates need to be placed under each jacking screw to distribute the load. Once level then
tighten the hold down bolts.

4.2 OMROM E3Z SAFETY SENSOR ALIGNMENT. CONT.

Identifying Sensors

Sender
The sender has one red light on top of the unit and one red light
at the front. These two lights will be on all the time while the
machine has power.

Receiver
The receiver has two lights on top of the unit. The receiver should have one green light on or a red
and green light on when all the sensors have been aligned correctly.

Note: No.1 receiver could be mounted top, middle or bottom on the guard.

The receivers are wired in series so No.1 receiver will have a green light on, indicating it has power.
When it is correctly aligned with its sender the red & green light will be on and it will send power
to No.2 receiver.
No.2 receiver will have a green light on and when that receiver has been correctly aligned with its
sender the red & green light will be on and it will send power to the No.3 receiver.
No.3 receiver is aligned using the same technique.
So when all 3 receivers are aligned correctly with their corresponding senders they should all have
red and green lights on top of each unit.

4.2 OMROM E3Z SAFETY SENSOR ALIGNMENT. CONT.

Alignment of Senders & Receivers

Ensure that the machine is level and all four leveling jacking bolts are correctly adjusted. Check the
rear guards are bolted tight and adjust the stabilizing feet to ground level to support the guards.
The sensors are sensitive to alignment so try to align as accurately as possible. If the sender is only
just aligned with the receiver, any vibration when cutting will stop the pump and the safety circuit
will have to be reset again.
Loosen the sender screws and angle sender up until receiver loses alignment.
Angle sender down until receiver re-aligns and then loses alignment again.
Half way between these two positions is the most accurate alignment.
The sensors may also have to be angled sideways as well to get the best possible alignment. This may
involve packing individual brackets or sensors.

You can now reset the safety circuit & press OK

on the NC89.

After a successful reset the NC89 screen should

be the same as Fig. 1

The Pump can now be started
