Sinclair Electronic Automatic Grommet PG-239, Operating Manual

SECURITY 

As we have indicated in the manual, the PG-239 machine has a series of protection devices to 
prevent the operator from getting his fingers caught or any other kind of accident. PLEASE DO 
NOT REMOVE THESE PROTECTION DEVICES. 
The most dangerous area in the PG-239 is the grommeting area “C” where the operator may get his 
fingers or his hands caught. In order to prevent this, some protection devices have been installed: 
 

In figure 4 “C” we indicate the area we consider dangerous for the operator. 
 
This area “C” is protected by: 
- A part #167 transparent acrylic shield that allows vision but does not permit the worker to 
introduce his hands, indicated in figure 4. 
- A ring guard part #165 indicated in figure 7, that prevents the worker from accidentally introducing 
fingers or hands in the grommeting area. 
- The waste material pipe #350 is used for absorbing the remaining pieces of material that are left 
after the grommeting action. This pipe allows the operator to work more comfortably. 
 
These protection devices are tightly held through screws, that prevent them from becoming 
detached. 
 
All areas considered dangerous are marked and securely enclosed. 
The sticker shown in figure 5 warns you that the grommeting area "C" is a dangerous area, and the 
machine must always be unplugged before making any adjustments in that area. 
All mechanical, electric and pneumatic parts are securely enclosed and tightly screwed up. 
 
When the machine includes an optional device such as a laser pointer part #155C, you must not 
shine this pointer directly in anyone’s eyes since it could be harmful, and keep it away from 
children. 
  
We strongly warn you that for any adjustment or any other manipulation that needs to be done, the 
machine must be disconnected from the electrical power source and the compressor air inlet. 
 
For any problem that may arise and can not be solved, please call the nearest distributor or get in 
contact directly with Sinclair Equipment.
