Safety devices
The machine is equipped with safety guards to isolate the zones potentially dangerous to the
operators. The guards are attached to the frame or screwed to with the machine housing. They
can be dismounted with suitable tools. This operation may be necessary during certain
maintenance activities. An acrylic glass guard is mounted in front of the cutting tool
(position A. Fig. 2.4.1) to protect the operator during bevelling.
Attention:
The guard can only be removed if the machine is at standstill, with the power supply
plug disconnected. Never use the machine without the safety guards in place.
The machine is equipped with a mushroom emergency button. This red button overrides all
other operations and stops the machine immediately (position B, Fig. 2.4.1).
Use the emergency button:
- in case of immediate danger or mechanical accident;
- for short interventions, if the machine is switched off, to perform maintenance in this state;
- the button is also equipped with a lock to prevent start of the machine by an unauthorized
person.
