Is it still the current practice to remove the normal rise and fall guard and replace it with a "Setters Guard" in today's pressing industry.
If so is this legal?
Look forward to your responses

When I was setting power presses the guard was opened to allow access to the die sets, and the ram was brought up and down by means of an inching device with the controls well away from the ram. The control was by means of a key kept in the possession of the setter. Alternatively, for presses of 40tons and below, the ram was brought up and down using a bar in the fly wheel with the guard closed, and the motor off.

Every press I have known has a "setters" setting. Very slow speed or "inch"
A key operated switch allows this function with the guards open. Access to key heavily restricted.
I used to be a tool setter for injection moulding presses. (in my long-spent youth) and then had injection and high speed stamping presses on my last site where tool setters were highly trained and highly respected employees.
I've never heard of a "setters guard" What does it do ?
