EXPOSED MOVING PARTS. Do not inch printing
press and wipe cylinders at the same time.
Return printing press to SAFETY STOP after
each inching. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury.
CLEANING SOLVENT. Lithographic solvent is
toxic and flammable. Wear protective goggles
and gloves and use only in a well ventilated
area. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and
clothes and don’t breathe vapors. Do not use
near open flame or excessive heat. If you
become dizzy while using cleaning solvent, get
fresh air immediately and get medical aid. If
contact with eyes is made, wash your eyes with
water and get medical aid immediately.
Inspect bearers for buildup of gum residue. Use
damp rag to soften gum residue. Use rag and
lithographic solvent (appendix C, item 5) to clean
bearers. Wipe dry with clean rag. Apply thin coat
of oil (appendix C, item 3) for rust protection.
Inspect journals, bearings, couplings and pivots
for rust due to water solution splash. Wipe with
clean rag and apply thin coat of oil (appendix C,
item 3). If pivot is frozen, remove and clean
(para. 2-38). Lubricate bearing at grease point
