Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines the use and maintenance of manual panbrake folders. These machines are strictly for folding sheet metal sections and must not be used for tasks beyond their designed purpose or capacity. Operators must ensure the panbrake-folder is securely mounted on a firm, level surface to prevent movement during use.

Operational guidelines include keeping the table and clamping surfaces clean, using care to avoid hand and finger injuries, and ensuring assistants maintain safe positions when handling large workpieces. Proper manual handling practices and gloves are required when working with sharp materials. Maintenance tasks involve lubricating moving parts as per the manufacturer’s instructions, regularly checking bolts and nuts for tightness, and ensuring the machine remains free of debris. Adherence to these procedures ensures safe and efficient operation of manual panbrake folders.
