Section 29.150. Hand-operated gears
Latest version.
-
Hand-operated gears need not be equipped with guards. Quite frequently, however, such gears are operated by a short lever or crank, and when the operator braces himself against the frame of the machine he may come in contact with the gears. It is always good practice to look into this matter carefully and whenever there is the slightest chance of injury, it is well to provide guards.
