Current through Vol. 24-16, September 15, 2024

Rule 2332.

(1) A 2-hand device may be a mechanically, pneumatically or electrically controlled system.

(2) A 2-hand device shall be installed to prevent "bridging" controls, and so that it can be operated by 2 hands only.

(3) In a power press operation requiring more than 1 operator, a set of 2-hand devices shall be provided for each operator. However a foot control may be used with 2-hand devices if arranged to operate concurrently (otherwise, no cycle) and if the operator is not exposed to the point of operation. If each of the operating stations is provided with a lockout arrangement, provision shall be made to prevent an unintentional press cycle when all of the operating controls are locked out.
