(a) Cutters and slicers. Veneer slicers and rotary veneer cutters shall have all revolving and other moving knives guarded.

(b) Veneer clippers. Each veneer clipper shall have either automatic feed or shall be provided with a guard which will make it impossible to place any portion of the hand under the knife while feeding stock. If practicable, the guard shall be the vertical finger type. All sprockets on clain or slat belt conveyors shall be enclosed. Each veneer clipper shall be equipped with conveyors or traveling tables to remove stock when clipped. If such tables or conveyors are not installed, the rear of each clipper shall be guarded either by a screen, or vertical finger guard which shall make it impossible for any portion of the hand to be placed under the knife while removing clipped stock.

(c) Veneer wringers. The entry side of each veneer wringer shall be enclosed, so as to provide sufficient space to insert stock but not enough to permit any portion of the hand to enter the rolls.

(d) Operating levers and treadles. Operating levers and treadles on all veneer machinery shall be located and protected so that they cannot be shifted or tripped accidentally. They shall be constructed so as to require the simultaneous independent operation of two levers or other tripping devices.
