2. Safety.
2.1 Qualified Personnel
Risk of injury due to insufficient training of personnel.
Only qualified and specialised personnel may install, carry out maintenance on or
uninstall the Block.
Responsibility for the use, maintenance and repair of the Block should be clearly
specified.
2.2. Labour requirements.
A specialist is the person who, due to his technical training, experience and practical knowledge is
capable of evaluating the work required, recognising potential risks and danger and making the
necessary decisions in response.
Whilst users are undergoing the instructional process they should only be allowed to work with the block
if a specialist is present.
It is advisable that all activities relating to this block be previously supervised by the company’s
managerial staff and, where appropriate, by a hydraulics or pneumatics manager.
The operator of the Block is subject to the legal obligations of work safety, accident prevention and
regulations regarding environmental protection applicable to this sector of the industry.
2.3 Intended use.
The block is considered by Directive 2006/42/CE to be a “partly completed machinery”. This consideration
is due to the fact that it is designed to be attached to a determined machine tool. The block inside the
machine should only serve as a clamping element for workpieces to be machined. The block is a static
clamp, it is not designed to be used with rotary machines such as lathes or similar.
The section “intended use” also includes the compliance of all of the specifications in this
manual. Anything other than “intended use” or any other use of the block is considered
to be improper use and could lead to dangerous situations.
Particularly when used in machines - tools with other details or technical conditions that
differ from the standard.
2.4 Personal Protective Equipment.
When working with these blocks the necessary protective equipment must be used in order to guarantee
and reduce health risks to the operator to a minimum.
