Residual risks
Even if used properly, residual risks can exist even if the relevant safety regulations are com-
plied with due to the design determined by the intended purpose.
Residual risks can be minimised if the “Safety instructions” and the “Intended use” as well as
the whole of the operating instructions are observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will reduce the risk of personal injury
or damage to the equipment.
• Risk of injury to fingers and hands when reaching with the hand into the running mixing
drum. Providing protection against the danger of getting caught in the rotating stirring
grating would not be practicable.
• Risk from electricity when using improper electrical connections.
