UNOCODE 299

AFETY
• Protective shield
The transparent protective shield is designed to cover the working parts as completely as possible,
ensuring operator safety.
The shield (U) (fig. 4, page 5) must be raised in order to fit keys for cutting or carry out other operations.
Raising of the shield is controlled by a microswitch and disactivates the operating and movement functions,
including the cutter. A special message appears on the display to warn that the shield is not closed.
To re-start the work cycle, place the shield in its original position and press START on the machine's
keyboard.
• Emergency stops
The red emergency button (N) (fig. 4, page 5) placed on the right-hand side of the machine is used to stop
it immediately in the event of faulty operation or danger for the operator.
When the cause of the emergency has been eliminated, turn the button 45˚ clockwise to disactivate it.
NOTE: the operator is responsible for keeping the area around the button clear so that it can be reached
as quickly as possible.
• Cutter motor protection
The cutter motor is protected against overheating by a cut-out switch (located inside the motor) that will
automatically stop the motor if it reaches a certain temperature. Should the switch activate:
1) turn the machine off and disconnect the power supply cable.
2) contact Silca's Technical Assistance Dept.
