2 Operators’ safety and protective devices
2.1 Safety requirements
This machine was designed and manufactured according to the appropriate criteria and
expedients that comply with the essential safety requirements pursuant to Machine
Directive 2006/42/EC and the Directive on Electromagnetic Compatibility 2004/108/EC as
amended.
As specified on p. 1.5.1 of Attachment I on Machine Directives, the electrical equipment
complies with the safety objectives established by the Directive on Low Voltage 2006/95/EC
but the evaluation of conformity in relation to hazards caused by electric energy is regulated
only by the Machine Directive itself, and consequently, the machine is not certified with
respect to the Low Voltage Directive.
Pursuant to Attachment I of Directive 2006/42/EC as amended, the definition of terms are
as follows:
 «danger», a potential source of health injury or damage;
 «dangerous zone», any zone within and/or in proximity with a machine, wherein the presence of a
person may imply a risk for the safety and health of said person;
 «exposed person», any person stationing completely or partly within a dangerous
zone;
 «operator», the person/s assigned to install, start up machine functions, adjust, clean,
repair and move a machine or to carry out maintenance.
 «risk», combination of the probability and the gravity of an injury or danger to health
that may arise in a dangerous situation;
 «guard», machine element used specifically to ensure protection through a material
barrier;
 «protective device», device (different from a guard) that reduces the risk, by itself or
associated with a guard;
 «designed use», the use of the machine complying with the information given in the
instructions for use ;
 «reasonable foreseen incorrect use», using the machine in a way other than that
indicated in the instructions for use, but which may arise from easily foreseen human
behavior.
2.2 Classification of machine operators
ATTENTION
 The machine was designed for professional use and the operator must possess the
proven qualifications and be able to read and understand the instructions for use. Since
the reader supposedly possesses the experience with regard to maintenance of industrial
machinery, the basic maintenance instructions have been omitted..
 The number of operators indicated and the related intervention procedures should ensure
the safety and health of the assigned workers and allow excellent production.
 The use of a lower or greater number of operators, with inferior or divergent
qualifications, or the use of intervention procedures differing from those indicated in this
document, seriously jeopardizes the safety of the operators themselves and/or may
impede the achievement of an excellent production.
