12. Description of the safety equipment
The power switch is also an EMERGENCY STOP switch at the same time and has an
undervoltage release. Switch the switch to “0”. This switches the machine completely off.
The undervoltage release is for ensuring that the switch automatically jumps to “0” in the
event of undervoltage. The man purpose of this is to prevent the machine from being
started up again unintentionally.
This can be the case in the following situations:
• In the event of a power failure
• If the cable is pulled from the plug
• In the event of a power failure in the mains power supply
• If the drive unit overheats Allow the drive unit to cool down and then try to restart.
Reduce the amount of mixing material if necessary.
The safety devices previously referred to have been integrated in the machine for your
personal safety and the safety of others. Make sure that these are in full working order at all
times. Never start the machine if any safety devices are defective. Anyone who deliberately
removes any safety devices or renders them inoperative is liable to prosecution. Such an
action would cause incalculable danger for the user. At the same time this would also
render the warranty for the machine null and void.
12.1 Guard cage
The gear unit and the mixing tools are protected from direct access by a guard cage which
is fixed firmly to the frame of the machine. The mixing tools start to run before the machine
is fully closed. The remaining gap between the swivel arm and the top edge of the tub
is covered by the guard cage. In addition, we should also advise that it is not permitted
to reach into the area between the guard cage and the tub while the machine is being
closed or opened. The guard cage has an opening on the top, covered by a mesh guard,
to enable you to see into the tub.
12.2 Safety switch
The machine is switched to enable status by the control pin, via a limit switch, as soon as a
suitable tub is in the machine. The machine will not start without a tub in place. Make sure
that the control pin moves freely at all times and make sure that it never becomes soiled.
Bridging the switch or pressing it by hand without a tub in the machine is not permitted
