, 1.0 INTRODUCTION
The SCOTCHMAN IRONWORKER is a versatile, multi-purpose, shearing, punching and forming
machine engineered for trouble free operation.
The design of the machine combines simplicity of operation with smooth, full stroke control.
The ability of the operator to control the machine’s direction of movement at any point in the stroke,
(i.e. stop, jog or reverse) gives the SCOTCHMAN IRONWORKER a tremendous advantage over
mechanical ironworkers.
There is no chance of the SCOTCHMAN IRONWORKER being accidentally tripped.
The hydraulic system operates at a maximum pressure of 1,500 PSI (103 BAR) and is protected from
overload by a built in relief valve.
2.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. The operators of this machine must be qualified and well trained in the operation of the machine.
The operators must be aware of the capacities of the machine and the proper use of the hold down
devices, strippers and guards provided with the machine.
2. All of the guards, adjustable restrictors and awareness barriers must be installed on the machine and
kept in good working order. Promptly replace worn or damaged parts with authorized parts.
3. Never place any part of your body into or under any of the machine’s moving parts, strippers or hold
devices.
4. Wear the appropriate personal protective equipment. Safety glasses are required at all times,
whether operating, setting up or observing this machine in operation. Since heavy pieces of metal
with sharp edges can be processed on this machine, the operators should also wear steel-toed shoes,
tight fitting leather gloves and snug fitting protective clothing.
5. Strictly comply with all warning labels and decals on the machine. Never remove any of the labels
and replace worn or damaged labels promptly.
6. Always disconnect and lockout the power when performing maintenance work or setting up any
tooling on the machine. Follow the procedures outlined in the operator’s manual for setting up,
changing or aligning any tooling on this machine.
7. Never operate this machine with dull or damaged tooling. Replace worn punches, dies and blades
promptly.
8. Practice good housekeeping. Keep the area around the machine clean and well lit. Do not obstruct
the operator’s position by placing anything around the machine that impedes the operator’s access to
the machine.
