2.5 Hazard zone
Nobody may stay in the hazard zone during operation of the machine. The opera-
tor must immediately shut down the machine in case of any threatening hazard and
request the people concerned to leave the hazard zone immediately. He may only
restart the machine when no people are located in the hazard zone anymore.
People wanting to approach the machine during operation must clearly communicate
their intentions to the operator (e.g. by calling or by agreed hand signals) to avoid mis-
understanding. The hazard zone shown in the following drawing applies as soon as
the machine is started up. As soon as a person enters this zone, the machine must
be immediately shut down and the person concerned must be requested to leave the
hazard zone immediately. The machine may only be restarted when no people are
located in the hazard zone anymore.
Only especially authorized people after exact agreement with the operator may enter
the hazard zones for maintenance or monitoring work. These people must be pre-
cisely informed about possibly occurring hazards before entering the hazard zones.
All activities between the operator and these people must be exactly agreed before
beginning these activities. All maintenance, adjusting and monitoring work on this
machine must – to the extent technically possible – always be performed with the
machine standing totally still and engine shut off. In this case, the operator of the
machine is responsible that the machine may not be put into operation by unautho-
rized people, either inadvertently or contrary to prior agreements.
