6.1 No Operation Except
Following Cases
You have understood and practiced the
principles about safe operation of the machine
in this manual.
1) Avoid dangerous situations.
2) Always perform a pre-operation inspection.
3) Check the work place.
4) Always perform a pre-use functional test.
5) Use the machine only for its intended
purpose.
6.2 Basic Principles
1) The operator is responsible for checks
before operation and routine maintenance.
2) The check before operation is an intuitive
check process performed by the operator
prior to each shift. The purpose of the
check is to find out if there is an obvious
problem with the machine before the
operator performs a functional test.
3) The check before operation is also used to
determine if routine maintenance
procedures are required. The operator is
only allowed to perform routine
maintenance items as specified in this
manual.
4) Please refer to the list on the next page and
check for changes, damage, loose or
missing parts for each item and location.
5) A damaged or modified machine shall not
be used. If damages or any unauthorized
changes are found, the machine shall be
tagged out and not operated.
6) Only qualified repair technicians can repair
machines as required by the manufacturer.
After repair, the operator must perform
check before operation again before
performing the functional test.
7) Regular repair and check shall be
performed by qualified repair technicians in
accordance with the manufacturer's
specifications and the requirements listed
in the responsibility manual.
6.3 Check Before Operation
