Protective devices
The machine is equipped with protective plates (Pg. 2
points 9, 10 and 16) that can be removed with a tool to
allow access to the inside of the machine in order to
carry out maintenance operations.
The fixed protective plates are screwed into position
and can be removed with the appropriate tool; if the
screws are removed the fixed protective plates will not
remain in place and must be placed on the floor.
All the protective plates have smoothed and rounded
edges for the safety of the exposed individual and of
the operators.
The protective plates have loss-proof screws that
remain attached to the plate when it is removed from
the machine.
To remove the protective plates see section 6.5.
Attention
Do not switch the machine on if the protective
panels are removed or not correctly fixed into
position with the appropriate screws.
Do not forget to remove cloths, keys or utensils
used for the maintenance operation from within
the machine.
Before closing with the protective panels and switching
on the machine check carefully and if necessary
remove any extraneous objects which may be present
inside the machine.
All protection and safety devices must always be kept
in perfect working conditions. If faulty, they must be
immediately repaired or replaced.
The replacement, disengagement, partial or total

maintenance operations. This also applies to the safety
plaques attached to the side of the machine.
