4. Safety regulations
4.1 Overview
The granulator is equipped with safety switches to prevent the front door and
the hopper from being opened during operation.
The following safety measures should always be observed when handling the
granulator:
• Always switch off the power supply using the main circuit-breaker (on
top of the electrical cabinet) before opening the granulator.
• Never put any part of your body into any openings on the granulator
unless the main circuit-breaker is in the "OFF" (=0) position.
• Always be careful when the knives are in reach since they are very
sharp. When the rotor has to be rotated manually, this must be done
with the greatest care!
• Be careful when the hopper and screenbox are opened and closed so
that no part of your body gets caught.
• The granulator cannot be started until the doors and the hopper are
locked.
