Gas spring check
The check is visual only. In lifting up the cover, no particular strain must be necessary; in closing the cover,
release it 200 mm before its closing completion: it has to remain fix or execute a very slow movement.

RESIDUAL RISKS
Meshing or dragging risk between the bowl and the base.
Despite the distance between the bowl and
the machine structure meets the requirements of UNI EN 453:2010, a residual risk of meshing, dragging
remains in the case a person introduces a part of the body in this area. The risk is the higher, the higher is
the push through which the person exposed , forces the way (for ex.:an upper limb).
A similar residual risk, but of moderate extent, remains the area between the bottom of the bowl and the low
part of the base. It is strictly forbidden to go close to the hazard areas with the parts of the body when the
machine is in motion ; in case of need, it is compulsory to switch off precautionally the machine and
disconnect the plug from the supply power socket.
Crushing, shearing, dragging, impact risk in case of contact with the spiral in motion.
Despite the
bowl cover (either full or grid) meets the requirements of UNI EN 453:2010, it exists a chance, even remote,
that a person reaches the spiral in motion through the opening (to extract dough samples or pour into some
ingredients) on the cover, through the free space between the cover and the bowl in lifting up the cover
before the safety microswitch switches in operating the emergency button. Avoid any temptation to reach the
tool through these above mentioned actions, there is no predictable reason to do that and the risk of
exposure to serious injury for the own safety is high.
You may incur into the same risk when the bowl is open and if you try to reach the spiral through a sudden
movement of the arm, in particular when the bowl is empty. The UNI EN 453:2010 allows a tool max. stop
time of 4 seconds, this time is widely observed from the machine ( from mod. no. SPI 80 till mod. no. SPI
200 the machines are equipped with brake system ), but it allows to reach the tool before it stops ; the risk is
particularly important when the bowl is empty (the dough would contribute to reduce appreciably the stop
time) and in the mod. no. SPI 30, SPI 45 and SPI 60, considering that the other ones are equipped with
brake system allowing a very quick stop of the spiral.
Dragging risk in case of hand dipping in the mixture with the bowl in motion through the opening on
the cover
(to extract dough samples or pour ingredients in ) and
consequent chance to be injuried and/or
being painfully pressed from the opening cover edge.
Avoid similar actions and try to extract samples
from the dough surface.
Contusion risk due to dragging
while using the button (21), for M version, or button (13) for E version,
with open bowl cover. If the operator dips the hand into the dough in vicinity of the spiral and/ or central
column, when the bowl start rotating, it could be pulled and pushed against these gears with the consequent
risk of slight contusion. The risk is slightly higher for the machine
E
version, considering that, by each
pressing of the button, the motion of the bowl reverses. To further reduce this risk, the operator has to keep
his hands far from the spiral arm and the central column.
Health risk due to inhalation of flour dust
; follow instructions as per par.3.3.1, items 2, 4, 5 and par. 4.8
Muscle-skeletal injury risk
due to ergonomic factors; follow instructions as per par.3.3.1, items 2 -3 -4 -14)
It is responsibility of the company employer to inform and train adequately the operators in charge
of the machine use about the residual risks it presents and about a safe use of the same on safety
conditions, precautions and behavior to avoid
( see also par 3.5)

and on each other casing containing parts in tension an appropriate warning sign has been affixed ( see par.
