2-6 Operator Responsibility
The operator’s responsibility does not end with efficient production. The operator
usually has the most daily contact with the blender and intimately knows its
capabilities and limitations.
Plant and personnel safety is sometimes forgotten in the desire to meet incentive
rates, or through a casual attitude toward machinery formed over a period of
months or years. Your employer probably has established a set of safety rules in
your workplace. Those rules, this manual, or any other safety information will not
keep you from being injured while operating your equipment.
ONLY YOU can make safety work for you by constantly thinking about what is
safe and what is not. It is often the “just once” that an operator reaches into a
blender to remove material and it results in serious injury.
Learn and always use safe operation. Cooperate with co-workers to promote safe
practices. Immediately report any potentially dangerous situation to your
supervisor or appropriate person.
REMEMBER:
• NEVER place your hands or any part of your body in any dangerous
location.
• NEVER operate, service, or adjust the blender without appropriate
training and first reading and understanding this manual.
• NEVER try to pull material out of the blender with your hands while it is
running!
• Before you start the blender check the following:
• Remove all tools from the blender;
• Be sure no objects (tools, nuts, bolts, clamps, bars) are
laying in the metering or mixing area;
• If your blender has been inoperative or unattended, check all settings
