2.2 SAFETY CONCEPT

The safety concept sets down the entitlement to use the equipment and the responsibilities
of the individual users.

The machines and equipment are designed and constructed according to the state of the
art and the recognised safety rules.

2.2.1 INTENDED USE OF THE EQUIPMENT

The equipment is designed and constructed for the following use:

 Cutting and milling of dry products in accordance with
