The following points are often helpful for the definition of the check:
•
H
as the machine been retrofitted?
•
Have machine parts been removed?
•
Have modifications been made to the surroundings of the machine?
•
Have the protective device or its parts been dismantled?
•
Is it possible to enter the hazardous area without being detected?
•
Is the protective device damaged?
•
Is the protective device severely contaminated?
•
Is the front screen contaminated, scratched or destroyed?
•

If one of the points applies, the machine should be shut down immediately. In this
case, the machine and the protective device must be checked by appropriately qualified
safety personnel.
