21. Before removing any guard, stop the machine completely and disconnect the power supply,
checking to ensure that none of the parts are still moving.
22. The machine must only be used for the purpose for which it was designed.
23. The machine must always be used in compliance with the safety regulations in force in every
country.
24. When handling the lubricants, do not smoke, eat or drink. Adhere to the regulations currently
in force with regard to the handling of oils and mineral greases.
25. Before handling the lubricants, always wear anti-spray goggles or a mask, oilproof gloves and
oilproof overalls to prevent irritation or allergy.
26. Keep the lubricants in a naturally aired room, far from heat sources (electric panels, naked
flames, etc.).
27. Avoid the direct contact of the lubricants with pure oxygen and acids.
28. All the lubricants must be eliminated via the authorised used oil collection organisations.
29. If lubricant is spilt, spread sand over the surface to absorb the product; the sand must then be
gathered up with a spatula and sent for incineration to the authorised special waste collection
organisations. Wash surfaces with solvents (chlorinated or aliphatic), taking care not to let the
vapours stagnate in the work area.
30. For people who are particularly sensitive to lubricants, an allergic reaction or oil acne is
possible, especially if the skin has previously been damaged owing to an abrasive (hand
cleaning paste or wounds) or chemical (solvents, strong alkaline detergents, etc.) attack.
Contact with the eyes can cause irritation.
31. If the lubricants are incorrectly handled, it is possible to note the effects of overexposure, such
as a slight irritation of the eyes or skin; if this should happen, move away from the exposure
source and contact a doctor.
32. If the lubricants come into contact with the skin, wash the affected part with soap and water.
33. If the lubricants come into contact with the eyes, rinse with water.
34. If a lubricant of the “oils” category is swallowed, seek medical advice immediately.
35. If a lubricant of the "greases" category is swallowed in a small quantity, call a doctor
immediately. If the quantity is more than 1/2 litre, give 1 or 2 glasses of water and call a doctor
immediately. Do not induce vomiting if the patient has fainted, and do not administer anything
else by mouth.
1.9 Scrapping
1. The operations must be carried out by qualified personnel.
2. Turn the machine off, disconnect it from the power supply, and discharge all the air from the
pneumatic system.
3. Fix all parts capable of moving by inertia or by gravity.
