Safety Awareness & Residual Risks
Introduction
This section contains two sets of principles that must be followed to assure maximum safety when
operating your Haeger Hardware Insertion Machine. The 1
st
explains situations and actions to avoid and
behavior and conduct in an effort to avoid or prevent injury. The 2
nd
principle describes the residual risks
that are inherent in the operation of the Hardware Insertion Machine. These are situations or physical
aspects of the machine that may present a potential danger to the operator or machine maintenance
person, but would compromise the capabilities of the machine if changed. Therefore, they are pointed
out as a precaution the operator and trained maintenance person must be aware of when using the
machine.
Situations and Actions to Avoid
The Haeger safety system ensures up to a certain level the discrimination between human body and part
to be processed. Despite this safety system the safety of the operator still depends from operator
appropriate behavior and respect of the procedure. Human behavior is still important in non-conductive
mode. The safety system may be partly inefficient when machine is used in conductive mode (contact of
a simple metallic ring on the operator’s finger with upper tool may validate the down stroke). In short,
don’t get distracted while operating or maintaining the machine,
always be aware of what you are
doing!
Residual Safety Risks
Your Haeger Hardware Insertion Machine is engineered to minimize machine components and operating
procedures that may compromise operator safety. However, in order to maintain some machine
operations and functionality, certain compromises are required. The following table documents some of
these residual hazards. By making the operator aware of the potential risks, we hope to ensure
maximum safety in the operation of this machine.
Attention: The photos in the following table illustrate situations that
must be avoided when operating your machine.
