8 Operation instructions
8.1 Safety instructions
WARNING!: Failure to observe the following safety instructions may result in injuries, death or damage to the machine.
This machine must be operated exclusively by “ qualified staff ”, based on the correspondent indications included in this manual.
Please find below a series of checks that must mandatorily be performed before and after performing operations with the machine.
8.1.1 Necessary checks before starting the machine
•
Check that attire worn by the operator is suitable. The operator must not wear wide clothes, wristwatches, rings, necklaces
and similar objects. Long hair must be tied back;
•
Check that no individuals uninvolved in operations with the machine are present in the operational area of the machine;
•
Make sure that no foreign objects (tools, rags, etc.) are left inside the welding chamber, in particular specular surfaces such
as chrome-plated details, mirrors, aluminum films, etc.: these surfaces may cause hazardous reflections of the laser beam
within the welding chamber;
•
If operations require the use of personal protective equipment, check that this is compliant with currently effective
correspondent laws.
8.1.2 Required checks and behavior after starting the machine
•
Immediately stop the machine if, once started, it is making unusual noises. Restart the machine after removing the source of
the noise;
•
Immediately stop the machine if the operator panel displays error warnings. Restart the machine only once the cause for the
error has been identified and solved;
•
During operations, remain within the operator area;
•
Never leave the machine unguarded during operations.
•
Do not allow anyone near the machine during operations;
•
Monitor that the machine performs its work cycle correctly, and stop it immediately in the event of anomalous operations;
•
Do not deactivate protection and safety devices;
•
Always remove the safety key from the ignition switch if leaving the machine unattended.
8.1.3 Behavior in the event of fire/incipient fire
•
In the event of fire or incipient fire, the operator must immediately shut down all aspiration systems in the machine(if present);
Ventilation supplies oxygen-rich air and facilitates the propagation of fires;
•
Quickly use hand-held extinguishers (we recommend the use of C02 extinguishers). In the absence of aspiration, extinguishing
agents can potentially make the air unbreathable. Act promptly and with great care. Remain within the hazardous
environment as little as possible;
•
If the fire cannot be controlled, abandon the building and make sure to close the doors.
