Safety instructions and information which must be followed Read the operating manual before operating the machine. The dough sheeters of RONDO are built for the food industry exclu- sively for the sheeting, booking, final sheeting and cutting (using the Cutomat) of dough pieces.
Page 11
Operation of the machine when any of the safety devices is out of order is prohibited. Defective safety devices must be replaced immediately with new origi- nal parts from RONDO. Machine parts located in the area in which the dough is being pro- cessed, and whose surface coating becomes worn (e.g. chrome plate worn off) must be replaced.
Page 12
The operators are fully responsi- ble for ensuring that such practices are followed. This machine is not designed to be used in explosive ambient. RONDO accepts no liability in the event of non-compliance with any of the above safety instructions. Edition BC520501 Ecomat 05.2005...
