1. Industrial safety instructions 

To assure safe and easy machine operation, attention should be paid to the basic 

security measures.  
The present instruction manual contains the most important precautions. 
Everybody who operates the machine must pay attention to security measures above all. 
 

1.1. Responsibilities of the company using the machine 

The  company  is  obliged  to  assure  such  conditions  in  which  the  machine  is 

operated by the people who: 
- have been informed about security measures  
- have read and understood the manual and have confirmed that by their signatures 
The company must also monitor if the staff obey all the orders and instructions.  
 

1.2. Responsibilities of the staff 

People who have been trained to operate the machine are obliged to:  

- pay attention to security measures 
- pay special attention to the instructions connected with warnings which are mentioned 
in this manual.  
 

1.3. Dangers while operating the furnace 

The furnace was designed and  constructed according to the newest technological 

and security standards. 
The  machine  can  be  used  only  when  its  technical  condition is  perfect.  The  usage  of  the 
device which is at variance with its purpose leads to the considerable risk of threatening 
the lives of people operating the machine, and also of the damage to the machine as well 
as the manufactured products. 
Disruptions  which  have  negative  influence  on  the  safety  of  the  machine  operation  must 
be removed immediately. The machine cannot be used until all erros are removed. 

 

1.4. Organizational measures 

Protective equipment for the staff must be provided by the purchaser. All security 

devices must be checked before the machine is in use. 

The  furnace  must  operate  under  the  fully  operational  travelator  which  is 

connected  to  the  unobstructed  chimney  flue,  far  away  from  any  flammable 
materials. 

 

1.5. Industrial safety devices 

Before  each  start  of  the  machine  install  the  following  devices  and  check  their 

function:  
-  main  switch  that  can  be  closed,  which  ensures  that  unauthorized  people  will  not  turn 
the machine on; 
- safety lids.
