the machine and in this manual. Failure to
comply with all of these warnings may cause
serious injury.
3. Replace warning labels if they become
obscured or removed.
4. This box and pan brake is designed and
intended for use by properly trained and
experienced personnel only. If you are not
familiar with the proper and safe operation of a
brake, do not use until proper training and
knowledge have been obtained.
5. Do not use this machine for other than its
intended use. If used for other purposes,
Walter Meier (Manufacturing), Inc., disclaims
any real or implied warranty and holds itself
harmless from any injury that may result from
that use.
6. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the brake.
7. Always wear approved safety glasses/face
shields while using this machine. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses;
they are not safety glasses.
8. Before operating this brake, remove tie, rings,
watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up
past the elbows. Do not wear loose clothing,
and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or
anti-skid floor strips are recommended.
9. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead based paint.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and
other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a
well-ventilated area and work with approved
safety equipment, such as face or dust masks
that are specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
10. Do not operate this machine while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.

habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the
machine before using.

leather gloves when handling.
13. Keep hands and fingers clear of area in front
and rear of brake.
14. This box and pan brake should be secured to

free of scrap material, oil and grease.

you do not fall or lean against moving parts.
