Installation and Safety Assessment

Due to the nature and design of this machine and its intended use in an industrial environment, 
it is important that before use it is installed in a cage with a mode of stopping on the outside of 
the cage. LFA Machines has decided that we can not possibly foresee all of the environments 
or situations in which this machine could be used or installed and therefore have determined 
that the end user must install the machine in a way that is appropriate and safe for its use.

Once the machine has been installed, it is critical that you conduct a safety assessment to 
ensure that it complies with all local and industry accepted safety regulations.

If you require guidance on the installation of the machine or conducting a safety assessment, 
please contact LFA Machines.

This machine is sold as an Unfinished Machine under the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) 
Article 13.
