SAFETY FUNCTIONS AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT
3 Safety functions and safety equipment
Some machine components, aside from their technical functions, also fulfill a safety
function that is designed to protect personnel from dangers at the machine.
For this reason, safety functions must not be tampered with, disabled or removed.
In case of damage to or failure of safety functions or equipment, the machine must
be shut down immediately.
Removal of safety functions is only allowed during repair work on the machine.
Once the repairs are finished, all safety equipment must be reinstalled and checked
for proper functioning.
3.1 Main switch
OFF
Main switch, example
Turning the main switch to the “O” position (OFF) switches off the power supply to
the machine.
Danger!
Exception: lines that are specially marked. These can be live even
when the main switch is switched off and can be potentially
lethal if not handled properly.
Before all installation and repair work, if applicable:
– Switch off the relevant area switch and lock it out
– Remove the relevant fuses
For more details, see the electrical documentation of the ma-
chine.
The main switch can be secured with a safety lock to prevent it being switched back
on without authorization.
