Ergonomic: injuries or harm to the body due to incorrect posture during use in production and/or
during cleaning and/or maintenance.
The respective risks have been eliminated or reduced as much as possible and/or may be further
reduced by adopting the measures and precautions described in the various paragraphs of this manual.
The more complete the information, instruction and/or training of the employees in the correct use of
the machine and the risks peculiar to it, the more effective the measures adopted will be.
5.1.2 SAFETY MECHANISMS AND RELATED CONSIDERATIONS
1. Over the area immediately next to the sharp edge of the blades is a tile-shaped sheet, the end of
which, above the bread loading surface, projects horizontally from the blades by about 121 mm.
Together with the support structure of the machine and with other fixed guards, this sheet prevents
the operator who is in front of the machine from accidentally coming in contact with the sharp
edge of the blades, when he reaches past the tile sufficiently to lay down the bread that is to be cut.
The version WITH COVER is provided with an interlocked top guard protecting this area, which
means that the blades can start moving only and exclusively when it is completely closed.
2. The start command is given by a lever which requires continuous action to keep the command
active (manned device); if released, the lever returns to rest position and the machine stops rapidly
(in about 1 second).
3. In the case of the machine “with lubrication system”, the blades must be moving when the bread
pusher moves back with its felt pad, otherwise detaching them becomes almost impossible (quite
apart from the risk of deforming the blades); in this case the button ref. 1 Figure 5, acts as a
manned button to start the blades, which remain moving only if the lever is activated while the
button is held pressed; once the stroke of the lever has started the button can be released, because
from that moment the movement is controlled by the control lever. If the button is released without
activating the lever the blades stop.
4. The blunt edge of the blades faces the area where the sliced bread comes out. To prevent the sharp
edge of the blades being reached from the side where the product comes out, the maximum blade
pitch that can be supplied is 18 mm. It is forbidden to put your hands into the compartment
that houses the drawer, except when carrying out normal cleaning operations with the
machine disconnected from the electric power.
5. The machine is equipped with an emergency stop button ref. 3 Figure 5; if it is pressed, it stops all
parts of the machine very rapidly (in about one second), cuts out the electric supply to all parts of
the machine and inhibits any start command. It is not possible to restart the machine unless the
emergency button has been reset (after having removed the causes that required its activation) and,
immediately afterwards, the button ref. 1 Figure 5 has been pressed.
6. The machine is equipped with fixed guards (product loading and unloading surface, tile over the
blade area), blocked with screws to the machine structure and requiring at least one tool to remove
them; these and the other devices described above prevent access to the inside of the machine
support structure where there are moving mechanical parts.
WARNING
It is forbidden to open and/or remove the guards and/or deactivate the safety devices, unless
specifically necessary for requirements of work, and provided suitable measures are taken to
make evident the resulting risks. These operations must only be carried out, and for the time
strictly necessary, by expert, trained and explicitly authorized personnel. The safety devices
must be reactivated and the guards put back into place and fixed using all the mechanisms
provided as soon as the reasons that made their temporary removal/deactivation necessary no
longer exist.
