FOOT SWITCH DANGER SIGN - PART NO. KSC-055

If a foot switch is ordered, a 5” x 6” polyethylene danger sign, as illustrated on page 6, is supplied. It is 
imperative that this sign be firmly attached to the machine in a location readily visible to all personnel. 
Suggested mounting instructions are shown on the reverse side of this sign.

This sign must be the first thing mounted to prevent any possibility that it might be overlooked. If 
this sign becomes destroyed or unreadable, it must be replaced immediately. Contact factory for 
replacement and do not operate the machine until the danger sign is in place.

Sign No. KSC-055

CONTROL BOX  (RKC-000 OR RKC-001) 

For part Nos. RKC-700 through RKC-701, please see pages 20 - 23.

Two models are available to fit the Detect-A-Finger to various machines. Part No. RKC-000 mounts on the right side of a machine. 
Part No. RKC-001 mounts on the left side of a machine. The drop rod exits bottom left of Part No. RKC-000. The drop rod exits bottom right of 
Part No. RKC-001. The selected model should provide access to the machine for general maintenance and adjustments. It should be installed 
so that the sensing probe can be positioned above the point of operation without obstructing the work area. The sensing probe design should 
be as short and rigid as possible.
