SAFETY DEVICES INSTALLED ON THE MACHINE
1.2.1
MECHANICAL SAFETY DEVICES
As regards safety devices of a mechanical nature, the slicing machine
described in this manual complies with the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC
and the EN 1974 standard
(Slicing machines, safety and hygiene
requirements), which envisages the following (see 1.3.3):
-
removable blade guard
-
irremovable fixed blade guard ring around the blade to protect the area
not used during cutting
-
product pusher that cannot be completely overturned
-
product pusher knob
-
hand guard made of transparent plastic secured to the product holder tray
-
carriage that can only be removed when the slice thickness control dial
and the ribbed thickness gauge tray is set to “0” and when the carriage is
positioned at the start of the run at the operator side. In these conditions,
the mechanical lock intervenes and it is possible to remove the product
holder tray.
N.B:
In accordance with paragraph 1.7.2 “Warning of residual risks” of
Annex 1 of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, it should be noted
that the blade guard ring, in the sharpening area, does not totally
eliminate the risk of being cut. While reducing the extent of the risk,
the ring is made in compliance with European Standard EN 1974.
1.2.2
ELECTRICAL SAFETY DEVICES
Safety devices to protect against electrical hazards have been added in accordance
with:
EN 60335-1
standards
EN 60335-2-64
standards
the Low Voltage Directive
2014/35/UE
the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
2014/30/UE
A relay is inserted in the control circuit and, in the event of an accidental
power cut, requires the slicing machine to be restarted (reset) intentionally.
