Mich. Admin. Code R. 408.41951 - Woodworking machinery generally
Rule 1951.
(1) A
woodworking machine shall have a disconnect switch that can be locked in the
off position. This rule does not apply to hand-held tools. An employer shall
establish and maintain a lockout procedure. A machine connected to an
electrical source by a plug-in cord shall be considered in compliance if the
plug is disconnected and tagged.
(2) The vibration of a machine shall not
create a hazard to the operator.
(3) An arbor and mandrel shall have a firm
and secure bearing.
(4) The frames
and all exposed metal parts of electric woodworking machinery shall be
grounded. A portable motor driving and electric tool shall be grounded unless
it has approved double insulation.
(5) A woodworking machine shall not
automatically restart upon restoration of power after a power failure. A
machine wired to a 110-volt line before April 11, 1979, is excepted from this
rule.
(6) Operating controls shall
be located within reach of the operator while the operator is at the regular
work station, making it unnecessary to reach over the cutters. The controls
shall be installed so as to eliminate the danger of accidental activation. This
subrule does not apply to a constant-pressure control used only for setup
purposes.
(7) All woodworking
machines shall be provided with point of operation guards.
