What are the safety rules when using a bending machine?

As an indispensable piece of equipment in modern industrial production, strict adherence to the safety operating procedures for bending machines is of critical importance for ensuring production safety and improving work efficiency. As a manufacturer with 10 years of experience in bending machines, we combine our extensive industry expertise to provide you with a detailed explanation of the safety operating procedures for bending machines, ensuring that every operator can master and strictly follow them.

1. Pre-Operation Preparation  

(1) Operators must undergo professional training and be familiar with the structure, performance, and operating procedures of the bending machine.  

(2) Before operation, thoroughly inspect all safety protection devices to ensure they are in good working condition.  

(3) Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety goggles and gloves.  

(4) Clean the work area to ensure there are no debris, oil stains, or other hazards that could interfere with operation or pose safety risks.

2. Safety Operating Procedures  

(1) Before starting the bending machine, ensure that all personnel have left the danger zone to prevent accidental injury.  

(2) Strictly follow the operating procedures when starting and shutting down the bending machine to avoid improper operation.  

(3) During operation, closely monitor the machine's operational status. If any abnormalities are detected, immediately shut down the machine for inspection.  

(4) Do not perform adjustments, repairs, or cleaning while the bending machine is running to prevent accidents.

(5) Use specialised tools for loading and unloading operations to avoid direct contact with the workpiece, which could cause pinching or crushing injuries.  

(6) After bending is complete, shut off the power supply, clean the work area, and ensure the equipment is in a safe condition.

3. Bending Machine Precautions  

(1) Before operation, carefully read the equipment manual to understand the equipment structure, performance, and the function of safety devices.  

(2) Do not operate the bending machine without proper training.

(3) Maintain concentration during operation; do not engage in idle conversation or perform tasks unrelated to work.  

(4) If abnormal noises, vibrations, or oil leaks are detected, immediately shut down the machine for inspection and report to maintenance personnel.  

(5) Regularly maintain and inspect the bending machine to ensure it remains in good working condition.  

(6) Do not overload the bending machine to prevent equipment damage or safety incidents.

4. Emergency Situation Handling  

(1) In the event of a malfunction or abnormal condition with the bending machine, the operator must immediately stop the equipment and promptly report the issue to maintenance personnel.  

(2) In an emergency situation, the operator must immediately press the emergency stop button and take appropriate emergency measures to ensure personal safety and prevent equipment damage.  

(3) When using the bending machine, operators must understand and master correct first aid knowledge and methods to provide timely assistance in emergency situations.

The safety operating procedures for bending machines are crucial for ensuring production safety and improving work efficiency. Every operator should be proficient in and strictly adhere to these procedures to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and their own safety. Additionally, companies should strengthen safety management and training to enhance employees' safety awareness and operational skills, collectively creating a safe and efficient production environment.
