Danger by mechanical parts

Danger of injury by rotating or moving parts.

Do not reach into the running machine.

Always stop the machine during an intervention.

Switch off the machine during mounting activities and secure it against being switched on again. Lock the main switch.

Wear safety glasses.

Injuries may be caused by pieces broken off from needles when the carriage and needles collide at damaged points.

Wear safety glasses.

Danger of burns by motors; the needle bed and parts of electric controls that can become hot.

Wear protective gloves.

Danger of crushing and cutting by the carriages, racking, the needle beds, the clamping and cutting devices and the additional needle beds.

Always stop the machine during an intervention.

Move carriage step by step or at creep speed (see operating instructions).

Danger of crushing and suction:

• by the fabric take-down (main take-down, auxiliary take-down, comb take-down, belt take-down)
• by the additional needle beds

Do not reach into the fabric take-down rollers nor into the belt take-down.

Do not reach in the gap between the needle beds.

Keep hands, face, loose clothing and other loose objects away: danger of crushing.

Do not reach into the area between the fabric take-down roller and the comb take-down.

Danger of injury in the case of mounting activities by pressure and tension springs (e.g. in the main take-down and in the engaging rod), which could have stored potential energy.

Releasing the springs before removing.

Wear protective gear (e.g. safety glasses, gloves).

Danger of injury in the case of mounting activities by sharp edges and protruding parts, when the protective devices are removed.

Wear protective gear (e.g. safety glasses, gloves).
