Spanish term or phrase: excepto en la protección de los ejes
I am a little unsure about the use of "protección" here. Any suggests about how to translate this?
The Spanish is the original and the English is my attempt at a translation.

Con las protecciones colocadas en la máquina y con las indicaciones del presente manual de instrucciones no se generaran riesgos residuales, excepto en la protección de los ejes que podría producirse un atrapamiento de cabello, ropa o prendas de trabajo si el usuario no sigue las recomendaciones del presente manual y no cumple con las indicaciones de seguridad.

There are no residual risks when following the instructions found in this instruction manual and warnings posted on the machine and with instructions found in this instruction manual, except in the shaft warning, which may cause hair, clothes or other objects to become entangle in the shaft if the user does not follow the recommendations in this manual and comply with the safety instructions.

Explanation:
Or even better if the target language expansion were no objection "...with the (sole) exception of the shafts lacking protective guards, which could cause hair, clothes or protective garments to become entangled...".

Also earlier in your proposed translation I am under the impression you translate the initial phrase of the source text quoted "Con las protecciones colocadas en la máquina" as "warnings posted on the machine...". I believe that's not correct, a more suitable translation would be "As the machine is fitted with safety guards/screens and providing you follow the instructions/advice contained in this manual there are no..." All the best.

  -> Absolutely, but as pointed out there may be a limit to how much the translation can be allowed to expand, therefore I made the more "compact" option my prime one. Many thanks.
