The additional anti-kickback devices (Pos.4) of the
existing protection system are being replaced with a
"curtain" made of Kevlar. This material, known for
bulletproof vests, drags on the chain and thus
eliminates the constructional gap between the chain
and the previous anti-kickback devices. Due to the
complete sealing of the cutting area with
SafetyPlus, kicked back splinters are caught
reliably inside the machine. This means optimum
protection for the operator. The additional safety
provided by SafetyPlus has been officially
confirmed by the munitions proof house Mellrichstadt
in Germany after a test with 5.4mm NATO standard
ammunition. Various government safety organizations
attended the extensive tests and are considering
including SafetyPlus in the CE standard. |
