Operating Speeds and Vibration
Machinery should be operated within its designed limitations and for its designed use only, any
unfamiliar noise, vibration or failure should be investigated and remedied promptly.

The Wall Extruder should be securely fastened to the structure of the building to prevent movement

blinding.
Consideration should be given to the operators work area for product flow and to minimise
repetitive actions and unnecessary movement.
