General safety precautions
The purpose of this information is to make persons interacting with the system aware of all possible
conditions of danger, and thereby to avoid injuries either to themselves or to others.
Design for safety
During the design and construction phase, the manufacturer dedicated particular attention to aspects
that may cause risks for the safety or health of persons using the system. In addition to complying with
applicable laws, the manufacturer followed all rules for “Good Manufacturing Practices”. Nevertheless,
some parts of the system could cause risks that are not immediately evident. It is therefore advisable
to take particular care during use of the system and during routine maintenance operations.
Safety during use
Before starting to use the system in any way whatsoever, the instructions given in this manual supplied
must be carefully and completely, together with the indications provided directly on the system
with safety warning symbols.
Do not tamper with, bypass or remove the safety devices installed on the system. Failure to observe
these instructions may cause risks for the safety or health of persons.
Safety during maintenance
Personnel carrying out any kind of routine maintenance on the system during its entire lifespan must
possess specific technical skills, special capacities and acquired experience recognized in the sector
in question.
The absence of these requisites may cause risks for the safety or health of persons.
During normal use or during any kind of operations on the system, the safety distances around it
must be maintained in order to avoid causing risks for the safety or health of persons. For some
operations the help of one or more assistants may be necessary.
