11.2. Insufficient or no power supply to the power and control circuits
Cutting off, resetting or changing the electrical power supply in any sense creates no situation of danger. In particular,
they do not produce:
• untimely starting
• an obstacle to stopping if the order has already been given
• an obstacle to manual or automatic stopping of the moving parts
• inefficiency of the safety devices
11.3. Protection against mechanical risks
11.3.1. Stability
The machine is equipped with holes in its foot to be safely fixed to the floor. This has the purpose of only preventing
it tilting over, but the screws must not be tightened fully since this would cause vibration during operation (it is therefore
advised to use stud bolts and self-locking nuts that have to remain at a distance of 2÷3 mm from the foot).
11.3.2. Risk of breakage during operation
The entire path of the blade inside the machine is protected with interlocked fixed or mobile guards, except for the section
strictly involved in sawing, minimizing this risk.
The passage of the blade through the work table block is protected by an insert of soft material (plastic or wood) to prevent
its contact with the metal parts.
11.3.3. Risks due to rough surfaces and corners
All the precautions have been taken to prevent any risk of injury.
11.3.4. Risks of accessing moving parts
Flywheels, pulleys and belts are completely protected by cowlings obtained in the base and by doors interlocked by
means of microswitches that prevent starting the machine if they are not closed.
An automatic braking system ensures the machine stops within 10 sec. of operating the control.
11.4. Protection against non-mechanical risks
11.4.1. Fire and explosion
There are sawdust extraction mouths and instructions are provided for their connection in order to obtain efficient
extraction.
11.4.2. Noise
Measures have been adopted to reduce noise emissions. This manual gives the values measured and the test method
(see paragraph 6).
