2.6.6 Additional Safety Instructions for the Operation with
Open Covers
If the covers are open the engaging rod cannot be locked into it's highest
position (production). The user must hold the engaging rod in this position so
that the machine works at the set speed "MSECCO" (dead man's switch).
The maximum carriage speed with open cover can be set in the "Machine
parameter" window. (Value range in input field "MSECCO": 0.00 to 0.20 m/s,
standard: 0.05)
DANGER
The carriage moves at production speed!
Danger of crushing and cutting by the carriage.
If the "MSECCO" check box is deactivated, the
carriage moves at production speed.
After the reversal point, the carriage can move at
higher speed, if it is set up that way in the knitting
program.
➜ Close the covers.
➜ Do not deactivate the "MSECCO" check box.
