Safety Precautions - Eliet Major Anleitung

7.2 Safety precautions

Emergency lever : This lever is located around
the input opening. By pushing this lever
backwards, the engine is switched OFF.
Safety net : Safety net – This net encloses the
rear of the machine. When the net is raised, the
engine is switched OFF. This net prevents you
from inserting your hands into the rotating
blades.
Warning:The blades may continue to rotate for
a short time after the motor has stopped.
Safety shields : First of all the machine is
equipped with a steel plate located in the
input opening. Its function is to protect the
operator against flying wood chips. It is strictly
forbidden for the operator to insert his hands
beyond this steel plate. Secondly, the machine
features a rubber protective flap at the rear of
the machine. This serves to slow down flying
chips.
Input hopper : This hopper is fitted on the
input opening in the direction of the operator.
If the operator was to ignore the warning and
insert his hands beyond the protective plate,
then this hopper would restrict the access to
the shredding chamber to the extent that
injury caused by the blades along the input
opening is virtually impossible.
Belt guard : The guard ensures that the
rotating parts which could cause injury are
sufficiently guarded.
Safety kit : With regard to your safety ELIET
strongly recommends the use of the supplied
safety kit. This kit consists of safety glasses, ear
defenders and a pair of working gloves.
