3.0 SAFETY DEVICES
PERIODICALLY, AT LEAST MONTH-
LY, CHECK THE INTEGRITY AND
THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE
SAFETY AND PROTECTION DE-
VICES ON THE MACHINE.
• Main switch positioned on the rear of the machine
Its function is to disconnect machine electric supply.
• Protection guard
Its function is to protect the operator from possible
projections of materials on the wheel during its spin.
Wheel spinning is normally prevented if the wheel
protection guard is raised (open). When the
protection guard is open, this interrupts the cir-
cuit that triggers the motor and automatic start
is prevented, including in the case of an error.
Press stop key to stop wheel rotation in
emergency conditions.
• Laser safety (in case the laser device is present)
This is a Class I/1 (with Class II/2 embedded)
laser product which, during normal operation,
does not permit human access to laser radiation
in excess of Class I/1. This product complies with
21CFR1040.10/.11 and IEC EN60825. The system
is fully interlocked to prevent accidental access to
laser radiation. Any attempt to defeat the safety inter-
lock elements of this product is a violation of Safety
Standards which this product complies with, and the
protection provided by the product may be impaired.
USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUST-
MENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF
PROCEDURES OTHER THAN
THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY
RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIA-
TION EXPOSURE.

structions for the assembly of the components making
use of the attached series of illustrations.
9.1 Anchoring system
The packed machine is fixed to the support pallet
through the holes prearranged on the frame. Such
holes can be used also to fix the machine to the ground,
through floor anchor small blocks (excluded from sup-
ply). Before carrying out the definitive fixing, check that
all the anchor points are laid down flat and correctly
in contact with the fixing surface itself. If not so, insert
shimming profiles between the machine and the fixing
lower surface, as indicated in Fig. 4.
IN CASE OF WHEEL WEIGHING
MORE THAN 30 KG, IT IS COM-
PULSORY TO FIX TO THE GROUND
BY MEANS OF SCREW ANCHORS.
