1.1 FOREWORD
This instructions manual is intended be used by anyone who may in any way be assigned to, in charge
of or authorized the use and/or control the machine. It is also intended for the employer, managers and
supervisors of the company that uses the machine. They should read it carefully and understand it in its
entirety so that it can be used as a valid tool for fulfilling some of the obligations required by current laws and
regulations regarding health and safety at work.
The employer, managers and supervisors of the staff that are authorized to use the machine must ensure that
they receive adequate information and training, including practical training (it must be simple and
understandable in relation to the perspicacity that can reasonably be expected from those involved) on its
proper and safe use and on both general and specific hazards and/or duties in the workplace.
The manual consists of several sections, which can be broadly summarized as follows:
Instructions for handling, transport, assembly (SF600) and installation
This is covered in the first paragraphs of Chapter 3. It is intended for the personnel who are responsible for
handling, transporting, installing and starting up the machine for the first time. Its purpose is to provide all the
important information, apart from that which relates to the general level of culture of an experienced and/or
professional and/or skilled technician in order for these tasks to be performed correctly.
Use and ordinary maintenance instructions
This is covered in Chapter 2 and part of Chapters 3, 4 and 5. It is intended for the employer of the machine
operators, the managers and supervisors of the company that uses the machine and to the operators
themselves.
As well as containing general guidelines for using the machine, it also includes instructions regarding
maintenance, cleaning and inspection tasks, which, because of their ease and low risk, do not require particular
experience or professional skills and can be carried out by the machine operator.
Extraordinary maintenance instructions
This is covered in the remaining part of Chapters 4 and 5. It is intended for the employer of the machine
operators, the managers and supervisors of the company that uses the machine, the operators and the
specialised personnel who carry out routine and/or extraordinary maintenance on the machine. It includes some
important safety instructions that should be followed during maintenance, adjustment and inspections, which
due to their complexity and/or dangerous nature, require specialised, experienced and professionally trained
personnel who possess the technical and regulatory knowledge to carry them out safely and in a workmanlike
manner.
Given the specific experience that the personnel responsible for this type of work must possess, the technical
instructions that are not required for safely performing the work are not included. Neither are those which,
considering their professional profile, such personnel cannot not be aware of.
Instructions for dismantling and/or disposal
This is covered in Chapter 6.
References made to specific chapters or sections shall also be intended as referring to all the relative sub-
sections. Where, for example, section is mentioned. 3.6 The reference is to be considered to refer to all
sections from 3.6.1 to 3.6.3.

the general and specific instructions carefully that are contained in this manual. Fully understand their
purpose and meaning in the context of correctly operating and maintaining the machine and acquire an

personnel authorised to use and/or maintain the machine. Store it in a dry place and protected from atmospheric
agents, which over time could cause it to deteriorate (e.g. in an opaque plastic bag). It is recommended to leave
