IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGE AND WARNING!
To all that should be concerned including:
Safety Managers, Pre-Fab Foremen, Tool Crib Foremen, Owners, CEOs,
Directors, Users of the Machine, etc.
It
has been brought to our attention that there have been injuries to
users of our Machine, the MC Cable Cutter & Pigtailer (the Machine).
This concerns us a great deal!
The injuries are the result of hands/fingers getting cut by
the partially exposed “notching” blades on the end of the drill
motors.
By design, the blades start automatically as the machine is
almost fully closed and normally present limited risk
UNLESS
a user places his/her
hands fingers in close proximity to the blades while the blades are
spinning and/or defeats the micro-switch that turns off the
drills when the Machine is opened.
Loose or poorly fitting gloves might exacerbate the risk of
injury if the blades grab hold of the gloves and pull the fingers in
while spinning.
Users must NOT put their hands near the blades!
Simply opening the Machine and/or turning off the main power
switch will stop the blades from spinning (and cutting) unless the
switches have been modified or bypassed.
Do not modify the switches!
To remind users of the dangers of spinning blades, we would
like to send you safety labels that you will need to apply to the
machine.
We would ask that you send us a digital photograph(s) of
installed labels for our records.
Refer to the “Safety Labels Installation” sheet included
with the labels.
Please install the labels as soon as you get them.
If you have determined that the risk of
injury outweighs the benefits the Machine can provide for you please
Email mccutterinc@gmail.com and we will work to help you transfer
your machine to another company who has decided to accept the
potential risk.
Thank You!
Sincerely, Bob Moran, McCutter, Inc.
