Safety Precautions:
Following the recommendations listed below may minimize accidents caused when
performing maintenance operations. However, depending on machine location and type
of work (plus other factors) the following additional precautions could be appropriate.
• Maintenance operations shall only be performed by qualified individuals.
Maintenance personnel shall only perform maintenance operations for which
they are specifically trained.
• Maintenance personnel shall strictly follow the instructions given by the machine
manufacturer or if required, by component manufacturer or supplier. Important:
If there is any doubt, consult our Customer Service Department.
• Never tear or cover warning labels fixed on the machine.
• Appoint a maintenance team: number of persons, functions to be performed, etc.
Make sure that each maintenance individual knows WHERE, WHEN and HOW a
given operation is being performed.
• Wearing safety clothing and having suitable tools, proper lighting, materials and
replacement parts of the same or equivalent as original parts, warning signs, etc.
is very important when performing maintenance or repair operations.
• In case of fault, examine the problem. If you know the origin or cause of the
problem, prepare a work plan (personnel required, estimated time, equipment
and replacement parts, technical information, etc.). Otherwise do not touch the
machine until consulting our Customer Service Department.
• Prepare a file containing all information related to maintenance and repair
operations. This information shall be made available to maintenance personnel.
Maintenance Plan:
“Prevention is the best remedy”. This commonly used sentence is also applicable to the
machine tool field. A good periodical preventive maintenance plan will ensure optimum
machine performance for many years. Even though a maintenance plan could interfere
with the production plan, we recommend giving priority to the maintenance plan in
order to ensure that production outputs meet targeted goals.
Before beginning any maintenance on the machine make sure to follow your company
standards for Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) procedures.
