6.2. Residual risks
In short, the residual risks are:
-Gripping and dragging risk (very low) between bowl and base: despite the distance between the bowl and
base meets the UnI EN 453 requirements, there is still a residual risk of being caught and dragged if a person
inserts a body part in this space. The risk is even greater, the greater the thrust with which the person forces the
passage (e.g. of an upper limb);
-Risk (very low) of crushing, shearing, dragging, impact in case of contact with the moving spiral: the bowl
guard meets the requirements of UNI EN 453, however there is the remote possibility that a person reaches the
moving spiral through the gap between guard and bowl, which forms by lifting the guard before the safety
microswitch trips commanding the emergency stop or, once the guard is open, before the spiral completely stops
(maximum stopping time allowed by Standard UNI EN453 is 4 seconds);
-Risk (very low) of bruising by dragging when the bowl is made to turn with guard open via the hold-down
control device: if the operator places his hand in the dough near the spiral and/or column, as the dough rotates it
may drag the hand and push it against the parts with risk of a slight bruising;
-Health risk from inhaling flour powder which, despite the measures taken in accordance with UNI EN 453,
inevitably develops even if minimally, and due to inadequate cleaning of the machine;
-Risk of muscle - skeletal injury: due to ergonomic factors and/or abnormal stresses during the manual lifting of
bags of flours and/or buckets of water to be poured into the bowl, and during the dough extraction operations.
As far as possible and relevant, adequate safety signs have been affixed on the machine; the affixed signs and
their position on the machine are described in the instruction manual.
