(1) Safety guards.
(a) No safeguard, safety appliance, or device attached to, or forming an integral part of any machinery must be removed or made ineffective except for the purpose of making immediate repairs or adjustments. Any such safeguard, safety appliance, or device removed or made ineffective during the repair or adjustment of such machinery must be replaced immediately upon the completion of such repairs or adjustments.
(b) No machine must be operated until such repairs and adjustments have been made and the machine is in good working condition.
(2) Steam-pressure apparatus. Steam machines must not be operated at a pressure above that given by the manufacturer's pressure rating as shown on name plate. If the steam source is at a pressure higher than that given by the manufacturer's rating, a stop valve, reducing valve, pressure gauge, and safety valve must be installed, in the order named, from the source. The safety valve must be located in a nonhazardous place.
(3) Machine adjustments.
