The machine comprises a pair of risers (12) and a head (13) comprising a plurality of operating roller units (15.1, 15.2, 15.3) with roller supported on the top and between said risers. According to the invention, said machine comprises a cover (14) pivotally mounted by means of a pin (14.1) with respect to said risers (12) and over said head (13) so to at least cover the gap on the top and on the front between the risers (12), in which said operating units are arranged, in its closed position. Cam means (16, 16.1) are functionally associated to said cover (14) and cam tracker means (17, 17.1) are functionally associated to a micro switch (18). The micro switch is electrically connected to the electrical power circuit of electrical geared motor means of the machine so that said micro switch (18) electrically closes the electrical circuit only when said cover (14) is correctly and completely closed (10) and consequently the electrical geared motor of the machine (10) can be turned along with the operating unit rollers (15.1, 15.2, 15.3) only in this condition.
Domestic machine for making, cutting and shaping pasta, comprising a base (11), a pair of risers (12) reciprocally distanced on said base, a head (13) including a plurality of operating roller units (15.1, 15.2, 15.3) with rollers supported on the top and between said risers, and also comprising electrical geared motor means which turn the rollers of the operating units and are electrically connected to an electrical power circuit of said machine, characterised in that it comprises a cover (14) pivotally mounted by means of a pin (14.1) with respect to said risers (12) and over said head (13) so to cover at least the gap on the top and on the front between the risers 12 in which said operating units are arranged.
Machine according to one or more of the foregoing claims, comprising at least two roller operating units (15.1, 15.2, 15.3), characterized in that said frame cover (14) is equipped with at least one mobile guard (21) which, when the cover is correctly closed, is selectively arranged to protect a respective roller operating unit to prevent the involuntary introduction of objects or parts of the user's body in the unit.
