IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
The manufacturer is not responsible for any harm to persons or damage to items caused by failure to observe the guidelines contained
in the user and maintenance manual.
The KOBRA Model SSD disintegrator is designed and manufactured with mechanical protections and safety devices to protect the
operator from potential physical harm.
It is strictly forbidden to modify or remove screens, safety devices and warning labels and should the operator decide to make any
modifications then it is at his or her own risk and the manufacturer hereby declines responsibility for any personal injury caused by
improper use. The machinery is considered compliant with safety standards only if not tampered with, health and safety procedures are
the responsibility of the purchaser and any ordinary and extraordinary maintenance not foreseen under the product warranty are also
the responsibility of the purchaser. The Manufacturer guarantees full compliance with current regulations in relation to electrical and
mechanical hazards.
Residual risks
The device may only be used by staff who have received prior training (IMPORTANT)
There is no such thing as an "intrinsically" safe device, just as there is no such thing as a worker who, by simply being careful can
"always" avoid accidents. Therefore NEVER underestimate the risks associated with the use of this machine and concentrate on the
work you are doing in order to avoid material damage.
Risks connected with the use of the machine
Even though the KOBRA Model SSD disintegrator cannot be considered a particularly dangerous device, never underestimate the risks
connected with its use, even though the manufacturer, by installing all the safety features in order to make the machine safe to use,
guarantees its compliance with safety regulations.
Verbal instruction on how to use the machine for each operator who will be responsible for using and carrying out maintenance on the
machine does not exonerate the user from reading the user and maintenance manual.
Electrical hazard
Any work on the electrical parts of the machine may only be carried out by specialised personnel authorised by the manufacturer. If
maintenance is carried out by external personnel, it is necessary to verify that the operator has had specific training in the maintenance
of electrical systems and appliances, must know the location of power lines and keep a certain distance from them, and when the work
is completed must issue a certificate of compliance.
Live working is prohibited.
Unless they have gone through special training, those authorised to operate the SSD MAY NEVER carry out any type of maintenance.
Do not make changes of any kind to the electrical parts of the machine. Any attempt to do so may compromise the operation of
electrical devices and cause malfunctions or accidents and will void the warranty.
Warnings
If you hear any strange noises or notice anything strange, switch off the machine and immediately notify the person in charge
who will set maintenance procedures in motion.
Never interfere with moving parts while the disintegrator is in operation.
Take the utmost care at every stage of the operations in order to avoid injury or damage to things or to the machine itself.
When the work is finished, clean the work area and, the with machine switched off, remove any residual debris.
Before switching off the machine, check it is working efficiently so that other operators do not find the machine in less than
perfect working order the next time it is used.
Check that technicians only use original spare parts.
The KOBRA Model SSD disintegrator is intended for specific jobs, so do not expect it to do shredding work for which it was
not designed.
When the KOBRA Model SSD disintegrator is idle for long periods of time, unplug it from the power socket.
Work stations must be kept clean and tidy. Untidiness can cause accident and injury.
Warning:
Wait at least 30 seconds after inserting material into the shredding chamber before you press the STOP button so as not to risk
jamming the top cutting mechanism the next time the machine is switched on.
Warning:
Wait until the first stage mechanism has shredded all the material inserted into the shredding chamber before inserting any more
material to be shredded.
Important:
Personal protection should be worn when operating the machine: hearing protection, protective gloves and safety glasses.
