1.5 Protection against indirect contacts
1. The user's system upstream from the machine must be designed, installed, and maintained in
compliance with the relevant safety regulations for “low voltage user systems”.
2. As regards the conditions/prescription of point 1), the correlative “protective earthing system”
must comply with the applicable requisites for co-ordination with the associated active
devices.
1.6 Protection against fire
1. If there is a fire in the electrical parts, use powder and gas-based extinguishing devices.
Do not direct water jets onto the machine: they may cause short-circuits. If the fire is not
extinguished immediately, pay attention to the possible dispersion of air, water, oil and heating
fluids. If the machine is exposed to flames for a long time, the pressurised tanks and pipes
may burst: be careful to avoid being struck by the fluids.
2. It is advisable to keep fire extinguishers near the machine.
To prevent the risk of fire, keep the machine clean and free of oils, solvents, rags, etc.
1.7 Preparation and machining operations
1. Before starting machining operations, the operator must be fully familiar with the position and
operation of all the machine commands and characteristics.
2. Wear protective clothing of the approved type (goggles, gloves, helmet and footwear).
3. Do not attempt to modify the safety system management programs. BIESSE declines all
responsibility for any harm to people or damage to property resulting from unauthorised
modifications of this kind.
4. The machine must be set up by one person only. Ensure that nobody else approaches the
machine during the set-up operations.
5. When entering the working area, remove the key from the “Axis disconnection” selector, to
prevent anybody from restarting the machine.
6. Never leave tools on the machine when the set-up has been completed.
7. Before starting the machining operation, check there is nobody within the dangerous machine
areas.
8. Check that nothing can impede the regular movement of the machine along the Cartesian
axes, and that all the casings, doors and protective covers are in place and securely fixed.
9. Before beginning the machining operation, check that the tooling of the machine has not been
tampered with by anybody else.
10. Do not use the machine when under the influence of medication or drinks that could reduce
the speed of your reactions.
