Additional Safety Instructions for the Operation with Open Covers

If the covers are open the engaging rod cannot be locked into it's highest position (production). The user must hold the engaging rod in this position so that the machine works at the set speed MSECCO (dead man's switch).

The maximum carriage speed with open cover can be set in the Machine parameter window. (Value range in input field MSECCO: 0.00 to 0.20 m/s, default: 0.05)

DANGER

The carriage moves at production speed!

Danger of crushing and cutting by the carriage.

If the MSECCO check box is deactivated, the carriage moves at production speed.
After the reversal point, the carriage can move at higher speed, if it is set up that way in the knitting program.

Close the covers.
Do not deactivate the MSECCO check box.
