Document Summary

This document outlines safe work procedures for operating a manual sheet metal folder, emphasizing proper setup, operation, and maintenance practices. General precautions include securing the machine to a firm, level surface to prevent movement during use and restricting access to areas affected by swinging counterweights.

Operational guidelines stress keeping the table and clamping blade clean for effective clamping and ensuring hands and fingers are clear of clamps and nip points during operation.

Adherence to these procedures ensures safe and efficient operation of the manual sheet metal folder.
