4.2 Defi nition of the safety terms
In this manual, with regard to safety, the following terms will be used:
Dangerous area: every area inside and/or near the machine where the presence of an exposed
person constitutes a risk for the health and safety.
Exposed person: any, fully or partially, inside a dangerous area.
Operator: person in charge of installing, functioning, adjusting, carrying out maintenance, cleaning,
repairing, transporting parts of the machine and all activities necessary for the running.
Safety components: component appropriately designed by the manufacturer and placed on the
market separately from the machine to perform the safety functions. It will therefore be considered
safety component that mechanism which lacking in functioning will jeopardise the safety of the
exposed persons.
