Rule 8136.

The enclosure may be expanded metal for visual observation . (2) An emergency stop bar shall be provided on a manually fed dough brake so located, that if the operator slips and falls toward the rolls, or if the operator's hand is caught in the rolls, the body pressure opens a circuit which deenergizes the drive motor and a magnetic spring-set brake stops the rolls immediately. This device shall be maintained operable .
