• Protective shield
The transparent protective shield is designed to cover the working parts as completely as possible, ensuring
operator safety.
The shield (U) (fig. 10, page 8) must be raised in order to fit keys for cutting or carry out other operations.
Raising of the shield is controlled by a microswitch and disactivates the operating and movement functions,
including the cutter. A special message appears on the display to warn that the shield is not closed.
To re-start the work cycle, place the shield in its original position and press START on the machine’s
keyboard.
• Emergency stops
The red emergency button (N) (fig. 10, page 8) placed on the right-hand side of the machine is used to stop
it immediately in the event of faulty operation or danger for the operator.
When the cause of the emergency has been eliminated, turn the button 45° clockwise to disactivate it.
NOTE: the operator is responsible for keeping the area around the button clear so that it can be
reached as quickly as possible.
• “T” WRENCH HOLDER
The special holder for the “T” wrench (T4), on the front of the machine below keyboard (fig. 10) prevents
damage to the machine caused by inadvertently leaving the wrench on the rotating clamp or the tailstock.
It is therefore essential that the wrench (T4) is placed into its holder after use.
If the wrench (T4) is not in its holder the machine will not begin the cutting cycle and the display will show
the message “T WRENCH INTO HOLDER”.
• Laser warning
Regulations require that warning labels in the language to be used be attached to the laser reader, as shown
in fig. 15, page 14.
• Cutter motor protection
The cutter motor is protected against overheating by a cut-out switch (located inside the motor) that will
automatically stop the motor if it reaches a certain temperature. Should the switch activate:
1) turn the machine off and disconnect the power supply cable.
2) contact Silca’s Technical Assistance Dept.
