This is a heavy gauge steel (.102-inch thick) guard for a
toggle switch, which protects the switch from accidental
blows or shipping damage, makes it less likely to change
the switch position accidentally, and provides an easy way to
meet the OSHA "lock-out/tag-out" requirements for electrical
machinery.
Two 3/8-inch diameter holes through the protective side
shields accept the hasp of a padlock, so the switch can be
locked in position. The guard is finished in safety
orange powder coating. It is produced for the PCM-2 cannelure
machine, but is offered for general purpose use. We found
no similar product available at a reasonable cost; other
guards were either too fragile to protect the switch from
heavy blows that might occur during shipping or if the
product were to be dropped, or they had unnecessary flip-
up covers and other features that added too much expense
and actually got in the way of normal operation.
The mounting hole is for a 15/32-inch diameter or similar
standard toggle switch with two flattened sides, which
orient the guard and prevent it from turning. It can be
mounted under the standard nut which secures the switch,
without modification or additional holes.
