Risk of Injury |
Close the covers. Close the rear panels (sliding boards) of the machine. Close the lateral covers. Keep eyes away from the lateral yarn tensioner. Objects such as tools, bobbins etc. to be removed from the inside of the machine. If the machine is in operation, under no circumstances should you reach into it. If the machine is in operation, do not reach into the area of the yarn carrier rails under any circumstances. Stop the machine if an intervention is necessary. Do not tear off the yarn by hand but use scissors. |
Danger of winding and suction and danger of crushing. |
Do not reach into the fabric take-down rollers. Do not touch the friction feed wheel while the machine is in operation and keep away loose garments and hair strands. Wait for the feed wheel to stop moving after stopping the machine. |
Health hazard by fibers, dust and fumes. |
Special caution is to be observed while knitting of yarns that cause health hazards or a damage to the machine:
Employ suitable measures to avoid the hazard caused by fibre, dust and fumes. Observe the country-specific laws and regulations. Observe the manufacturer's specifications (safety data sheet). For any further queries please contact Stoll. |
Fire hazard by fluff, dust and other impurities. Increased danger of short circuit during knitting of metallic or conductive materials by building up of conductive fluff and dust. |
Fluff, dust and other impurities to be removed regularly from the entire machine depending upon the degree of dirt at least once in every shift. Take care of any additional suction. Wear inhalation protection gear. |
