The method as set forth in claim 9 in which the guard closure is latched and the guard closure is locked by the interlock system and includes the steps of unlatching the guard closure if necessary for testing the interlock system, testing the interlock system, and re-latching the guard closure to test if the guard closure is re-locked by the interlock system, wherein the testing means includes sensors to test both the guard closure and the interlock system to determine if they function correctly or not. 11. The method as set forth in claims 9 or 10 in which the test means is a single means that functions to test both the guard closure and the interlock system. 12. The method as set forth in claim 11 in which the single means includes a resilient mount. 13. The method as set forth in claim 9 which includes the step of sequentially testing the interlock system and then the test means of the guard closure and if the test means properly functioned use the interlock system to make a redundant test check of the position of the test means. 14. The method as set forth in claim 9 including the step of testing the guard closure and the interlock system with the same test means. 15. The method as set forth in claim 14 in which the test means includes a force displacement member. 16. The method as set forth in claim 15 wherein there is an initial attempt to deploy the force displacement member, and if the force displacement member did not deploy reinstate the interlock system function and record and indicate that the guard closure and interlock system cannot be tested. 17. The method as set forth in claim 16 and if the force displacement member did deploy, test to see if the guard closure opened or is open, and if the guard closure did not open, test the interlock system by moving it relative to the guard closure to permit the interlock system to be activated. 18. The method as set forth in claims 9, 10, 13, 14, 16 or 17 in which changing the state of the interlock sensing system includes the step of moving the interlock system to a guard open position and testing and recording the results of the test. 19. The method set forth in claim 18 including the steps of recording and indicating all results of the tests of the interlock system and guard closure as to whether they are functioning, whether faulty or not, and including that a guard closure did or did not unlatch and the interlock system can or cannot be tested, reinstating the bypassed functions of the interlock system and scheduling the necessary repair or replacement. 20. The method set forth in claims 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16 or 17 in which changing the state of the interlock sensing system includes the step of moving the interlock system to a guard open position and testing and recording the results of the test. 21. The method set forth in claim 19 including the steps of relatching the guard closure and testing and recording if the guard closure relatched and returning the interlock system to a guard closed position and recording and testing if the interlock system returned to a guard closed state. 22. The method set forth in claims 9, 10, 13, 14, 16 or 17 including the steps of reinstating the interlock system if the interlock system and guard closure passed all of its tests and activating suitable warning indicators and devices if the interlock system and guard closure did not pass all tests and if so eit her shut down the machine or bypass the interlock system and allow the machine to continue to operate and schedule repair or replacement of any failed components. 23. The method set forth in claim 22 including visual and/or audible feedback system and/or other indicators which inform users of the machine when and on which safeguarding system the guard closure test is being performed and if any interlock system functions have been bypassed. 24. The method set forth in claims 9, 10, 13, 14, 16 or 17 for testing a plurality of guard closures by a controller, and programming the operation of the controller to perform and time the tests in whatever order or sequence desired or in batch form, or all guard closures simultaneously, and to perform the test during running of the machine. 25. The method as set forth in claim 24 in which the interlock system includes interlocks and the controller is programmed to test the interlocks in conjunction with the guard closure in the order or sequence desired. 26. The method as set forth in claim 25 in which the controller is programmed to either interrupt the machine operation, or to continue the operation and interrupt the machine operation at another time to perform the required repair, maintenance or replacement of the faulty components upon the tests detecting a guard closure or interlock failure. 27. A method of testing a machine having a machine power control circuit and a safeguarding system including a guard closure held locked by a guard locking device and an interlock mechanism having a sensing and circuit system which when functioning correctly prevents the powered operation of the machine or that portion of the machine protected by the guard closure, when the guard closure is opened or open, comprising the steps of bypassing the interlock mechanism and guard locking device from the machine power control circuit, changing the state of the interlock mechanism and sensing such change of state to test the functioning of the interlock mechanism and the circuit and sensing system. 28. The method as set forth in claim 27 which includes a system for removing the bypass of the interlock mechanism without disrupting the machine operation from any interlock and any additional system which has not been found defective by the testing. 29. The method as set forth in claims 27 or 28 in which the interlock mechanism and guard locking device are a combined mechanism performing both the interlock and guard locking functions. 30. The method is set forth in claims 27 or 28 in which the testing of the circuit and sensing system is accomplished by a device that changes the position of the interlock mechanism relative to the circuit and sensing system. 31. The method as set forth in claims 27 or 28 in which the testing of the interlock mechanism and the sensing and circuit system and guard locking device is done by a testing system. 32. The method as set forth in claims 27 or 28 wherein the guard locking device and/or circuit and sensing system is monitored to detect a failure. 33. The method as set forth in claim 32 wherein the failure of the interlock mechanism and/or the failure of the guard locking device are detected as undifferentiated failures. 34. The method as set forth in claim 31 wherein the testing system is equipped with sensors, which monitor the operation of the guard locking device and/or the failure of the guard locking device to properly deploy. 35. The method as set forth in claim 34 wherein the failure of the guard locking device is differentiated from the failure of the interlock mechanism. 36. The method as set forth in claim 31 in which the testing system provides a means to unlock the guard locking device while the interlock mechanism is being tested in order to facilitate the testing of the interlock mechanism and includes means to relock the guard locking device at the completion of the testing of the interlock mechanism. 37.
