<p>At each side of the cutting head (38) is mounted a pad arrangement (60), each comprising two pads (62, 64) of a compressible, resilient, electrically conductive material, held separated by spaced-apart ribs (66) also of a compressible material, the arrangement being such that when either of the pad arrangements is compressed, an electrical circuit is made and a signal is thus generated in response to which a cutting stroke of the press is prevented by disabling the motor (18, 20) by which cutting strokes are generally effected. In addition, in response to the signal break means is applied to arrest any lateral movement of the cutting head (38). <IMAGE></p> |
