or standstill tool.
-
Contact
the
rotating
parts
(belts,
pulleys,
chains
etc..)
-
Ejection
of
the
workpiece
or
its
parts (splints):
never stop along
the
trajectory
corresponding
to the
splint ejection.
-
Ejection
of tool inserts: never
stop
along
the
trajectory corresponding
to the
possible
ejection.
-
Dust inhalation
in
case of
operation
without suction.
-
Fulguration
due
