must not be covered in grease or its legibility deteriorated.

1.3 LIST OF RESIDUAL RISKS
Even though SICMA has done everything possible to be in line with state-
of-the-art safety and in compliance with all Directives, Laws and Standards
available, some residual risks still exist:
• CUT/CRUSHING HAZARD DUE TO CONTACT WITH TOOLS (rotor)
• ENTANGLEMENT/DRAGGING HAZARD (rotor and Cardan shaft)
• OVERTURNING/CRUSHING HAZARD (tiller)
• BURNS HAZARD (gearbox)
• CUT/SHEARING HAZARD (rear covers)
Therefore, anyone using the machine or performing maintenance on the
same, must be trained and aware of the fact that dangers exist and in spite
the use of protections to reduce them, it is not possible to eliminate them
totally.
The staff assigned to these operations must always have the use and
maintenance manual available for consultation.
The use and maintenance manual states all indications requested from
point 1.7.4 (User instructions) of Attachment 1 of the Machinery Directive
andspecicrequestismadetocomplywiththeprescriptions,soasnotto
cause accidents that can injure persons.
