2.-SAFETY MEASURES
2.1 REGULATIONS
The Volga Bit duplicator machine and its safety devices are compliant with Directive
2006/42 EC on Machinery.
This manual cites all the safety regulations that the user must respect when installing and
operating the machine. Failure to follow these instructions may compromise the safety condi-
tions provided for during design and testing.
When used for the purpose for which they have been designed, all machines bearing the CE
mark are compliant with EU Directive 2006/42 EC on Machinery.
The machine operator must know and follow the instructions provided in
this manual.
2.2 SAFETY DEVICES
The Volga Bit duplicator machine is fitted with safety and other protective devices that define
the user operation area in order to guarantee their safety.
2.2.1 USER PROTECTION
• Earthing connection
•CIRCUIT BREAKER. This device stops the flow of electricity in the event of the following: If
the electricity supply suddenly fails and prevents the cutter from rotating, the circuit breaker
prevents the cutter from suddenly moving again if electrical power unexpectedly returns and
thereby prevents any risk this may pose to user integrity. If this happens, the machine must be
manually switched off and on again by using the power switch.
• Anti-swarf screen. The operator must still wear safety goggles even though this device is
present.
• Cutter rotation lock when lowering the carriage assembly using the corresponding control
lever. Furthermore, the carriage assembly remains locked in place to facilitate handling of the
keys in the clamps.
• Enclosure for the lower section of the machine, preventing access to the interior. This elimi-
nates any risk of entrapment with moving parts of the machine.
2.2.2 PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT
When operating or maintaining the Volga Bit machine, users must wear the following perso-
nal protection equipment:
• CLOTHING: Those responsible for maintaining and operating key duplicator machines
should wear protective clothing that meets all the basic safety requirements currently in
