The machine does not stop when the flap is open and therefore parts of the body of the user may come into contact with rotating machine parts causing injuries.The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and with the relevant European standards EN 60204, EN 60352, EN 60034.
