Dear Valued Customer,
The Weinig Group offers a wide variety of
woodworking machinery that is designed to give
maximum benefit for processing wood products.
These systems include moulders, grinders,
feeders, optimizing saws, infeed systems,
outfeed systems along with material handling
systems. As safe use of all of our machinery is
of utmost importance to us, we have included
herein information pertaining to the safe
operation of this equipment, which we strongly
suggest you review with all of the supervisors,
operators, and other personnel that may be
working with, at, or near these types of
equipment.
Weinig considers the ongoing efforts for
providing safety to operators of its equipment
an important part of the introduction of
machinery into the workplace. We remain
ready to offer any help to our customers or
others for insuring a safe working environment.
To assist in this effort we are working to
constantly evolve our safety program to be as
comprehensive as possible. We have prepared a
complete safety package that is available to
your company, at no charge. It is described
below. You may contact any member of the Weinig
team to receive such a package. Additionally,
you are welcome to use the Safety Manual within
this site for your own use, and for distribution
to your employees.
At the time of sale of all equipment, decals and
warning labels are affixed to the machine before
it arrives at your facility. Along with the
arrival of the machine you should receive a
Safety Manual (To CE standards, DIN ISO 9001) as
well as an Operator’s Instruction manual, and a
Parts manual. If either of these items is
missing, please notify us at once by calling
704-799-0100. Additionally you may reference the
Safety Manual on this site for your own use, and
for distribution to your employees. If for any
reason you no longer have the original
Operator’s Manual we will provide one to you for
a nominal fee. Please reference the machine
model and serial number when ordering for use in
identifying the correct manual, as these
operator’s manuals are machine specific.
We provide operators training "free of charge"
to those who purchase new equipment from us.
Your company is encouraged to take advantage of
this opportunity for training at our facility in
Mooresville. There is no limit to the number of
operators sent for training during the warranty
period of the machine on a "first come, first
served" basis. The only restriction would be
availability due to class size limits. Please
contact our Training Department for details and
schedules. To schedule training please contact
Mr. David Hise by dialing 704-799-0100 ext
7855. Other training opportunities are also
available. This training can be structured to
fit specific needs, upon request.
At any time you can receive a Safety Package
developed for your machine simply by requesting
it. These packages are provided at no cost to
you and contain very valuable safety information
including selected warnings that have been
designed especially for woodworking equipment.
Warnings, decals and labels that are ANSI
approved, along with a diagram for suggested
placement on the equipment, a letter of
introduction explaining the importance of these
items, as well as a new Safety Manual (CE) are
contained in this Safety Package. At any time if
the labels on your equipment become faded or
illegible please request new ones and affix them
to your equipment as soon as it is noticed. We
ask that the labels be positioned in a place
most likely to achieve the maximum awareness of
anyone that my come near the machine. The
diagram suggesting possible placement may be of
help to you in selecting the most appropriate
locations for affixing these labels and
warnings. This very simple activity can help
insure the safety of your personnel.
You may request an inspection of your machine
to review the operation of your safety features.
In addition to the recognized safety features of
the machine, it is additionally important to
perform proper maintenance on your machine to
assure safe use. Periodic general maintenance
including lubrication and cleaning is essential.
A maintenance schedule should be prepared with
adjustments for varying work use time (multiple
shift usage). Our technical department is
available to answer your questions concerning
appropriate maintenance measures.
A periodic review of all safety features on your
machine is highly recommended. Our service
technicians are available for general mechanical
and electrical inspections. Please contact our
service department for a fee schedule if you
wish to schedule such a visit. Please make sure
that all safety hoods, guards, covers, and limit
switches remain in place and are fully
operational at all times. Do not remove, defeat,
alter or change any device intended to provide
safety. Also, it is important to repair or
replace any missing or defeated safety guards.
We will be pleased to answer any questions that
you or your employees might have about the safe
operation of your machinery.
The Weinig Group continues to develop and
introduce state of the art woodworking
equipment. As we go through that process we will
continue our efforts to stay abreast of the most
current safety features and activities.
