Safety
General safety instructions
The separate manual entitled "Safety Instructions"must be read and observed, for it
contains further information on the machine’s intended use and its safe operation.
The machine has been designed and built in line with state-of-the-art technology and is
safe when operated correctly. Safety of the operating personnel was one of the basic
concepts underlying its design.
All machines are potentially dangerous if they are operated incorrectly, used for
purposes other than those for which they were built or are operated by persons lacking
the requisite know-how, training or sense of responsibility.
The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for losses incurred due to non-conforming
use of the machine. The risk of accidents and damage rests exclusively with the owner
in such cases.
It is therefore essential to note the information and instructions contained in the
Instruction Manual. All local safety and accident prevention regulations must also be
complied with.
The machine may only be operated, serviced and repaired by duly authorized, trained
and instructed personnel. These persons must be informed in detail of all the foresee-
able potential dangers. No one should work on the machine or remain in its vicinity if
they are not completely fit both physically and mentally.
The Instruction Manual must be read through completely and understood by all
authorized persons before starting work on the machine. The person responsible for
safety should obtain written confirmation of this from all concerned.
Tools, feed rollers and their drive components coast after being switched off and are a
source of danger.
Great care must therefore be taken when opening hoods and covers!
CAUTION! Never reach into tools, feed rollers and their drive elements before they
have come to a complete stop.
The owner must clearly define exactly who is responsible for setting-up, retooling,
operation and maintenance and is obliged to ensure that the machine is only operated
when in safe working order.
The operator is obliged to immediately remedy all damage or changes in the machine
which may impair its safety (provided that he is authorized to do so) or must report
these without delay.
When unloading and installing the machine, it is important to ensure that the load-
carrying capacity of the lifting gear is sufficient to bear the weight of the machine.
