Ear protection
Conair recommends that ear protection is used during all granulation of
plastics.
Granulation of hard plastic, big plastic details, or plastic lumps can
cause high and dangerous sound.
Observe also that low sound levels during a long time is dangerous.
Reduce the risk of damage to hearing. Use ear protection or earplugs.
Avoid standing in front of the granulator hopper inlet opening.
Signs of overload after granulating plastic parts and lumps of plas-
tic are:
• Ringing sound, tones or ear pain.
• Difficulty in hearing people speaking when the granulator has stopped.
• A sense of water in the ears.
Protective gloves
Be careful at all handling of knives, they are sharp and can cause per-
sonal injury.
Use protective gloves when changing knives, so as not to injury fingers
or hands.
Always use protective gloves at cleaning, maintenance and service!
Protective goggles
Conair recommends that safety goggles are used during all granulation of
plastics.
Always use protective goggles at cleaning, maintenance and service!
