Basic safety information
Familiarity with these basic safety rules and regulations constitutes the fundamental
prerequisite for safe handling and trouble-free operation of Afag HLF-P linear feed-
ers.
These operating instructions contain the most significant regulations for safe HLF-P
operation. These operating instructions - and in particular the safety regulations -
must be observed by anyone working on and with the HLF-P. The applicable on-site
accident prevention rules and regulations must also be observed. These operating
instructions must always be kept handy where the HLF-P 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, expe-
rience and instructions as well as their knowledge of the prevailing standards, regula-
tions, accident prevention regulations and operational conditions, have been author-
ized 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 qualified personnel as per IEC 364).
Any malfunctions that may have an adverse effect on the safety of any persons, the
HLF-P or other material assets must be eliminated without delay.
The following instructions are not only intended to ensure the personal safety of the
operators but also the operation of the products described and the devices connect-
ed to them:
