Machine #25, small Denison hydraulic press: The two control buttons were not ringed or protected against accidental operation, the motor start control was not protected against accidental contact and the press was not provided with a red emergency stop button. G. Machine #20, small Denison hydraulic press: The motor start control was not protected against accidental operation and the press was not provided with a red emergency stop button. H. Machine #1, Denison hydraulic press: This press was provided with two hand controls, however, as the ram descended, a limit switch was activated that took over the machine control so that the operator could release the buttons and grab the next part. The operator could release the hand controls before the tooling had closed, exposing the operator to a pinch point.
