3.0 Safety Warnings
1. Read and understand entire owner’s manual
before attempting assembly or operation.
2. Read and understand the warnings posted
on 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 shear/brake/roll machine 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 shear/brake/roll, 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. This shear, brake and roll is intended to be
used by one person only. Keep others away
from the machine during operations.
7. The shear, brake and roll must be bolted
securely to a stand and the stand bolted
securely to the floor. If the machine is to be
bench-mounted, the bench must be able to
support the weight of the machine and must
be bolted to the floor.
8. Always wear approved safety glasses/face
shields while using this machine. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant
lenses; they are not safety glasses.
9. Keep the floor around the shear, brake and
roll clear of scraps, debris, oil and grease.
The flooring around the machine should be
a non-skid type.
10. Sheet metal stock has sharp edges. To
prevent cuts, deburr edges and use gloves
when handling.
11. Keep top guard in place when not using the
slip roll.
12. Keep hands and fingers clear of the slip roll
pinch points.
13. Keep hands and fingers away from the area
in front and rear of the shear blades.
14. Keep hands and fingers away from the
press brake dies.
15. Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the
machine.
16. Do not use the shear to cut round bars,
chain, steel cable or hardened metals.
17. Before operating this machine, remove tie,
rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll
sleeves up past the elbows. Remove all
loose clothing and confine long hair.
18. 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.
19. Do not operate this machine while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.
20. Check damaged parts. Before further use of
the machine, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting and any other
conditions that may affect its operation. A
guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
21. Provide for adequate space surrounding
work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
22. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and
“horse-play” are careless acts that can result
in serious injury.
