Using safety devices
The following section describes where safety switches and locks are used.
•Cover
A hardware safety switch is fitted at the rear of the cover. The software
safety switches are activated when the cover is closed. The printer can
only be used when the cover is closed. Opening the cover during a
printing process triggers an emergency stop.
• On the front of the machine, below the cover, is a cleaning flap. The
flap is monitored by a safety switch. Opening the cleaning flap during a
printing process triggers an emergency stop.
• A safety screen is fitted at the inlet to the printing table.
• The safety screen is safeguarded by a hardware safety switch. It pro-
tects the operator from reaching into the print area from the outside. If
the screen is moved, an emergency stop is triggered.
• Enclosures
The front and rear enclosures are protected from unauthorised opening
either by a switch gear cabinet lock or by being screwed in place.
Caution:
The operator must not disable any of the safety devices.
The printer must never be operated without the enclosures.
