Basic safety information
Familiarity with these basic safety rules and regulations constitutes the fundamental pre-
requisite for safe handling and trouble-free operation of Afag KLF linear feeders.
These operating instructions contain the most significant regulations for safe KLF opera-
tion. These operating instructions - and in particular the safety regulations - must be ob-
served by anyone working on and with the KLF. The applicable on-site accident preven-
tion rules and regulations must also be observed. These operating instructions must al-
ways be kept handy where the KLF is operated.
Operation of the hopper is only to be carried out by technically qualified personnel.
Qualified personnel are deemed to be persons who, by reason of their training, experi-
ence and instructions as well as their knowledge of the prevailing standards, regulations,
accident prevention regulations and operational conditions, have been authorized by the
people responsible for the safety of the system to perform the required activities, and
who are capable of recognizing possible hazards and avoiding them (definition of quali-
fied personnel as per IEC 364).
Any malfunctions that may have an adverse effect on the safety of any persons, the KLF
or other material assets must be eliminated without delay.
The following instructions are not only intended to ensure the personal safety of the op-
erators but also the operation of the products described and the devices connected to
them:
