Protective devices
The provision of safety hoods prevents the user from any danger of accident through contact with
rotating tools.
Electric interlocks prevent incorrect operation.

Residual risks
Our machines harbour residual risks that are unavoidable despite the care taken in their design
and manufacture, and that are inherent to operation of the machine.
Residual risks are:
Area around the trimmer unit.
Area around the end trimming unit.
In both instances, safety tools have been used which minimise the danger. Similarly guarding is
provided which protect the operator from exposure to danger. However, it is important for
operators to be aware of the dangers which exist around these two areas. Access to these areas
should never be made when the machine is running.
The movements of the operating arm and axes is limited to below 25m/min minimising any risk of
injury from this movement. A safety pull wire runs around the entire machine enabling emergency
stopping in the event of danger.
However operators must be aware of the danger posed by the drive systems.
The design of the gluing system ensures there are minimal exposed areas providing risk of
burning. However, with any hot melt glue, there is a risk to the operators from the glue itself which
has a large thermal capacity and potential to burn deeply. It is recommended that insulating
gloves are used when cleaning the glue system.
In the event of burns, run under cold water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical advice.
Even when the main isolator is switched off,
- the covered mains input terminals are still live,
- the pneumatic installation is still under pressure.
Exceeding the limiting pressure for pneumatic hoses.
DANGER !
