graph LR A[Safety Glasses] --> B[ANSI Z87.1 Standard] C[Cut-Resistant Gloves] --> D[EN 388 Level 4] E[Steel-Toe Shoes] --> F[ASTM F2413]
2. Machine Setup Procedure of Operation Manual
2.1 Pre-Start Checklist
- [ ] Verify blade installation (3-point check)
- [ ] Confirm proper blade tracking
- [ ] Check hydraulic pressure (40-60 bar)
- [ ] Test emergency stop function
2.2 Parameter Adjustment Guide
| Material Thickness | Blade Speed (m/min) | Feed Pressure (bar) |
|---|---|---|
| <10mm | 30-40 | 2-3 |
| 10-25mm | 25-35 | 3-4 |
| >25mm | 20-30 | 4-5 |
3. Operational Protocols
3.1 Startup Sequence
