1.5.1 Trimmer module
The trimming cycle is automatically controlled from the control unit. Operators
must ensure that all personnel are clear of the equipment and should exercise
due care and attention, when operating the equipment.
When manual handling of the trimmer is carried out, care must be taken to
eliminate the risk of injury from the cutting blades.
The trimmer module is fitted with a safety device that will prevent operation when
the unit is not positioned within the chassis.
Following the trim cycle, it is essential that the trimmer is removed before
attempting to remove swarf from the trimmed pipe ends.
Care should be taken when adjusting or replacing trimmer blades.
1.5.2 Heater module
At the end of the heating cycle, the heater plate is automatically ejected. To
eliminate the risk of injury, the operator should ensure that all personnel are clear
of the heater at this time.
If the emergency stop button is actuated during the heating cycle, when the
emergency stop button is reset the heater plate can be ejected by pressing the
silver open chassis button.
High temperatures are required to fuse polyethylene; therefore, operators are
reminded to take care when handling the heater. The use of heat resistant gloves
is strongly recommended.
1.5.3 Guidance when using hydraulic fluids

lubricants and industrial oils must be avoided.

or obtain medical attention immediately.
