3.5. SAFETY AND WARNING DEVICES
Tampering with safety devices, and their removal or deactivation while the machine
is in operation, is strictly prohibited.
The efficiency of safety and warning devices should be regularly checked (see point
5.1.).
Front brush guards
The BIG 38/48 machine has three nylon bristle brushes that rotate during
normal operation. Access to hazardous areas is prevented by plastic casing
that serves as a guard. The guard can only be removed intentionally. Removal
of a fixing element will obviously cause detachment of the guard from the
machine.
Warning devices
The BIG 38/48 machine is fitted with various warning devices to alert anyone
who happens to be within the working range of the machine:
a horn-type acoustic signal to alert any persons in the vicinity of the
machine during normal use;
an acoustic warning signal (buzzer) that sounds whenever the reverse
gear is engaged;
a signal light with a yellow flashing beacon to indicate that the machine
is in operation.
