R 408.12406 Definitions; G to K.

Rule 2406. (1) "Gate or movable barrier device" means a movable barrier arranged to enclose the point of operation before the press stroke can be started. (2) "Guard" means a barrier that prevents entry of the operator's hands or fingers into the point of operation. See R 408.12403(1), R 408.12404(4), R 408.12405(4), and R 408.12406(7). (3) "Guide post" means the pin attached to the upper or lower die shoe, operating within the bushing on the opposing die shoe, to maintain the alignment of the upper and lower dies. (4) "Hand feeding tool" means a hand-held tool designed for placing or removing material or parts to be processed within or from the point of operation. (5) "Holdout or restraint device" means a mechanism, including attachments for operator's hands, that, when anchored and adjusted, prevents the operator's hands from entering the point of operation. (6) "Inch" means an intermittent motion imparted to the slide (on machines using part revolution clutches) by momentary operation of the "inch" operating means. Operation of the "inch" operating means engages the driving clutch so that a small portion of 1 stroke or indefinite stroking can occur, depending upon the length of time the "inch" operating means is held operated. "Inch" is a function used by the die setter for setup of dies and tooling, but is not intended for use during production operations by the operator. (7) "Interlocked press barrier guard" means a barrier attached to the press frame and interlocked so that the press stroke cannot be started normally unless the guard itself, or its hinged or movable sections, enclose the point of operation. (8) "Jog" means an intermittent motion imparted to the slide by momentary operation of the drive motor, after the clutch is engaged with the flywheel at rest. (9) "Knockout" means a mechanism for releasing material from either die.
