MACHINE SAFETY DEVICES
6.1
Electrical safety devices
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, the
Cut-off machine
is equipped with a power
cable and plug without grounding conductor, as it is equipped with double isolation.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, the metal frame of the machine non-
grounded. Extension cables must be of a section equal to or greater than the power cable of
the machine.
Electric Shock
Improper con
nection of the machine’s grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric
shock. Do not make any modifications to the electrical system.
Check with a qualified electrician if you don't understand the grounding
instructions.
6.2
Safety devices against "mechanical" risks
6.2.1
Protective disc casing
The safety guards on the cutting disc are constituted by fixed casing and movable casing, as
shown in Figure 5.
They have the task of preventing parts of the operator's body, particularly hands and/or
fingers, from coming into direct contact with the disc.
Furthermore, this prevents the splinters, dust or blade fragments that eventually get
separated from being thrown towards the operator's face.
The movable casing on the disc is articulated to the saw body and it opens progressively as
the blade is lowered to allow the cutting of the workpiece.
Conversely, the blade is completely protected when it is in the resting position, i.e. when fully
raised.
