Safety

Safety guard Spindle brake

Partially enclosed, with electro-mechanical interlock. Brake integral with spindle motor stops within 2 secs from 2600 rpm.

Machines incorporate safety and design features, salary devices, guarding arrangements and are supplied with such information as to their safe operation and use, that we believe, so far as it is reasonably practical, they are safe and in compliance with the legal requirements of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.
