CHAPTER 7 - Maintenance
7.1 Safety warnings
CAUTiOn!
Before starting any maintenance work on the machine, disconnect and padlock all energy sources and
safely block all of its moving units. Put the “Machine under maintenance - do not switch on” sign on the
main switch.
CAUTiOn!
To stop the machine from being accidentally switched on while it is under maintenance, put signs on it
saying: “CAUTION! MACHINE UNDER MAINTENANCE”.
• Maintenance technicians must wear the necessary personal protective equipment (gloves, glasses, overalls) for the
job at hand.
• During maintenance operations, unauthorised staff must stay outside the operation area.
• If the operation requires the guards to be removed, the area of intervention must be fenced off and persons unrelated
to the maintenance work must be forbidden access.
The need to put the machine in working condition and/or with the protections disabled requires adequate skill and
knowledge, and extreme care by the maintenance technician who must be appropriately trained on possible and
subsisting risks.
The accident prevention precautions in this section must always be strictly adhered to during machine/system maintenance,
in order to avoid injury to staff and damage to the equipment.
Before starting any maintenance work, ensure that the energy sources are disconnected (electricity, compressed air,
hydraulic energy, etc.).
• Carry out the operations only with the machine/system stopped and disconnected.
• Put up specific warning signs such as:
EQUIPMENT UNDER MAINTENANCE - DO NOT SWITCH ON, WORK IN
PROGRESS - DO NOT OPERATE or DO NOT SWITCH ON on the main switch and in the machine access zones.
• Carry out the operations covered by the skillset (Mechanical, Electrical, Fluid) that you are authorised for.
• Be able to use the most suitable and appropriate instrumentation for troubleshooting and know the most suitable
equipment for maintenance.
