7.2 Safety provisions
•
Rugged construction:
The robust construction not only adds to the long operating life of the machine, but also provides
additional user safety whenever there is an unforeseen emergency.
•
Safety handle (1):
You can operate the feed of the machine with this
control lever. When pressing this control lever com-
pletely towards the machine, every feeding mecha-
nism will be interrupted.
•
Safe feed-in height (2):
The hopper has been designed with a 1,000 mm feed-
in height and the dimensions of the feeding hopper
are such that it acts as a natural barrier to being
pulled into the machine unintentionally.
•
Safety screen (3):
The steel safety screen in the feeding hopper pro-
tects the operator against kickback material. Any
attempt by the operator to insert his hands beyond
this steel sheet is strictly forbidden.
•
Sound absorption (4):
The acoustic housing accommodating the engine and
the shredding chamber gives excellent noise reduc-
tion whilst shredding, therefore, minimising noise
nuisance for both the operator and the surroundings.
•
Exhaust catalyst (5):
The catalyst fi lters the exhaust fumes from the
engine to a far-reaching degree which minimises air
contamination for the operator and the environment.
•
Safe discharge system (6):
The system that ELIET has decided to use to discharge
chippings is safe and ensures that chippings cannot
leave the machine at speed or violently. This will mini-
mise the risk that this may wound someone or that
damage is caused to objects within the immediate op-
erating environment. A safety switch will stop anyone
from putting the machine into operation without fi rst
having installed the discharge belt conveyor.
