Current through Vol. 24-16, September 15, 2024
Rule 4465.
(1) A manually controlled molding machine must have a 2-hand control, single-stroke mechanism for the squeeze cycle for each operator assigned to the machine. A 2-hand control must be installed so as to prevent bridging the control buttons and so it can be operated by 2 hands only. A squeezer head that is so equipped that the operator must hold it in the operating position with one hand and actuate a 1-hand control with the other is acceptable.
(2) The squeezer head of a molding machine must be positioned so as to avoid a pinch point with the sand chute.
(3) Automatic and semiautomatic molding machines must be in compliance with General Industry Safety and Health Standard Part 1. "General Provisions," being R 408.10001 to R 408.10098 of the Michigan Administrative Code.
