Definitions

  • the possibility of the movement of the shavings to the side surface 67 is lower than the possibility of the movement of the shavings to the side surface 66.
  • On the side surface 66 therefore, even if the shavings have moved to the light access portion 62, a detection result of the sensor 103 is less affected.
