General notes
Analysis of the hazards as per headings 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6 is based
on the following:
1) awareness of the normal conditions of use of the machine as specified in
the user handbook;
2) the assumption that the machine is destined for use in a factory for the pro-
duction, baking included, of bakery products;
3) the assumption that operator personnel have received adequate instruc-
tion and are aware of the specific risks present in the workplace;
4) the assumption that admittance to the workplace is not permitted to unau-
thorised and unqualified persons.
5.2
Mechanical hazards and residual risks
In compliance with the provisions of EC directive 98/37/CEE, the following
text describes residual risk areas (the main ones are shown in Photo 8) with
analyses of the relative risks and the measures adopted to reduce them.
5.2.1
Danger zone 1
Risk of shearing of hands and fingers in the dividing chamber.
As already highlighted, this danger can only arise if the operator gains
access to the dividing chamber through the top of the hopper without
following the instructions set out at 4.9.
THIS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED!
Cleaning of the dividing chamber and removal of residues of dough left in it
must be carried out in accordance with the instructions set out in the
relevant paragraph. Following these instructions will make the task easier,
even if it takes a few minutes longer.
Users who do not follow these instructions assume full responsibility
for any damage to property or injury to persons that may result.
5.2.2
Danger zone 2
Risk of entrapment, dragging, crushing and cutting of the extremities
of the upper limbs between the moving parts at the top of the machine.
The area has been protected with two steel guards, which can be removed
and are each connected to a bayonet type safety microswitch.
The top doors of these guards are connected to the same safety
microswitches.
If either of the guards is removed or one of the doors is opened, the contacts
of the respective microswitches are forced to open, causing the electrical
supply to the machine to be interrupted immediately.
In the rest state, the free end of each door is situated in contact with the
relative metal surface of the guard (so there are no apertures), and the
microswitch operates when the end of the door is raised by a maximum of
25 mm above its rest position.
