2.1 introduction
This machine has been designed and built with safety of use and maintenance in mind. The safety
applies provided the machine is used as set out in this manual, under the circumstances described
and in compliance with the instructions given. It is therefore crucially important that this manual is
read and the instructions are complied with, by everyone using or maintaining the machine. Used in
any business environment, the employer shall be responsible for ensuring that users are familiar and
comply with the instructions.
Additional safety regulations may apply within the organization or country in which the machine is put
to use. Most likely, these will concern the health and safety of the operators. This manual does not
describe how to comply with any such additional measures but does provide the information about
the machine that is necessary for this purpose. In cases of doubt, please consult your government or
Health and Safety Ofcer.
In this manual, a distinction is made between normal use (see “Operating Instructions” on page 15)
and other work to the machine. The reason is that maintenance work imposes different requirements
on personnel than machine operation, particularly in terms of safety.
The basic maintenance tasks described alongside the operating instructions, can be carried out by
qualied personnel of FP International. Any work not listed under “operating instructions” may
only be carried out by suitably qualied personnel. The items provided to restrict access to certain
machine parts or functions must not be kept with or near the machine. Only persons possessing the
know-how required may have access to such items.
