1.2 General safety precautions
1 The owner is responsible for maintaining the unit in
a safe operating condition. Unit parts and accesso-
ries must be replaced if missing or unsuitable for
safe operation.
2 The supervisor, or the responsible person, shall at
all times make sure that all instructions regarding
machinery and equipment operation and
maintenance are strictly followed and that the
machines with all accessories and safety devices, as
well as the consuming devices, are in good repair,
free of abnormal wear or abuse, and are not
tampered with.
3 Whenever there is an indication or any suspicion
that an internal part of a machine is overheated, the
machine shall be stopped but no inspection covers
shall be opened before sufficient cooling time has
elapsed.
4 Normal ratings (pressures, temperatures, speeds,
etc.) shall be durably marked.
5 Operate the unit only for the intended purpose and
within its rated limits (pressure, temperature,
speeds, etc.).
6 The machinery and equipment shall be kept clean,
i.e. as free as possible from dust or other deposits.
7 To prevent an increase in working temperature,
inspect and clean heat transfer surfaces (cooler fins,
intercoolers, water jackets, etc.) regularly. See the
maintenance schedule.
8 All regulating and safety devices shall be
maintained with due care to ensure that they
function properly. They may not be put out of
action.
9 Pressure and temperature gauges shall be checked
regularly with regard to their accuracy. They shall
be replaced whenever outside acceptable tolerances.
10 Safety devices shall be tested as described in the
maintenance schedule of the instruction manual to
determine that they are in good operating condition.
11 Mind the markings and information labels on the
unit.
12 In the event the safety labels are damaged or
destroyed, they must be replaced to ensure operator
safety.
13 Keep the work area neat. Lack of order will increase
the risk of accidents.
14 When working on the unit, wear safety clothing.
Depending on the kind of activities these are: safety
glasses, ear protection, safety helmet (including
visor), safety gloves, protective clothing, safety
shoes. Do not wear the hair long and loose (protect
long hair with a hairnet), or wear loose clothing or
jewellery.
15 Take precautions against fire. Keep a fire-extin-
guisher in the vicinity.
16 ESS (with earthing pin):
