1.2 SAFETY
POKER PRO is entirely built in compliance to the Machine Directives. The operations for which it has been
designed are easily carried out with no risk to the operator.
The adoption of general safety precautions and observation of the instructions provided by the manufacturer in
this manual eliminate all human error, unless deliberate.
POKER PRO is designed with features which make it completely safe.
• Safety shield
The protective shield is designed to cover the working parts as completely
as possible, ensuring operator safety.
The shield (C) must be raised in order to fit keys for cutting or carry out
other operations (Fig. 5).
Raising the microswitch-controlled shield deactivates operation and
movement, including that of the cutter. A warning light indicates that the
shield is not closed (see Ch.6).
To re-activate the work cycle, lower the shield and press the START
button.
Fig. 5
• Emergency stop
Use the red emergency button (R) (Fig. 3), located on the right-hand side of the machine to stop the machine
immediately in the event of serious malfunctioning or a hazard for the operator.
When the cause of the emergency has been eliminated, turn the button 45° clockwise to deactivate it.
NOTE: the operator is responsible for keeping the area around the button clear so that it can be
reached as quickly as possible.
• Laser warning
Regulations require that warning label (supplied - Ch.1.4) in the language to be used be attached to the optical
reader, as shown in Fig. 6.
