iii 

The machine safety, however, can only be implemented 

during the operation, if all of the required steps have 
been taken. The operator of the machine has the 
obligation to plan these actions and check their 
compliance. 
 

The operator must specifically verify that: 
 

z

 

The machine is only used according to 
specifications. 

z

 

The machine is only operated in perfect 
operational condition and that the safety 

equipment is routinely inspected as to their 
operational condition. 

z

 

The necessary personal safety equipment for 
operating, maintenance and repair personnel is 
available and being worn. 

z

 

The operating instructions are always in a legible 
condition and are completely available at the 
machine location. 

z

 

The machine is only operated, maintained and 
repaired by qualified and authorized personnel. 

z

 

The related personnel is instructed routinely in all 
pertaining questions of work safety and 
environmental protection, and knows the operating 
instructions, especially the safety instructions 
contained therein. 

z

 

All safety and warning labels attached to the 
machine are not removed and are legible. 

Concrete safety 
instructions and applied 
symbols 

 

Concrete safety instructions are provided in the following 
operating instructions which will point out any 

unavoidable remaining risks during the machine 
operation. These remaining risks contain hazards for: 
 
Persons 
Product and machine 

The environment 
 
Symbols used in the operating instructions should draw 
attention to the safety signs! 
 

This symbol points out that specifically 

personal injury risks may be anticipated (Mortal 
danger, risk of injuries). 

 

This symbol signifies that especially hazards 

for the machine, material and the environment may 
be encountered. 

 

The most important objective of the safety signs exists in 
the prevention of personal injuries. 
If the warning triangle with the wording “danger” is on a 
safety notice, hazards for the machine, material and the 

environment are not excluded. 
If the warning triangle with the wording “caution” is on a 
safety reference, personal injuries are not anticipated. 
 
The applied symbol cannot replace the text of the safety 

reference. The text must therefore always be completely 
read! 
 

Basic safety measures during normal 
operations: 

 

The machine may only be operated by trained and 

authorized personnel who know the operating 
instructions and are capable of working with them! 
Prior to switching the machine on, check and verify that: 
Only authorized personnel are located within the 
working range of the machine. 

No one can be injured when the machine is activated! 
Check the machine for visible damages prior to use and 
verify that it is only operated in perfect condition! Report 
any problems immediately to the supervisor! 
Prior to each operating start, check and verify that all 

safety equipment operates perfectly! 

 

Basic safety measures during service 
and maintenance: 

 

Adhere to the inspection and maintenance intervals 
specified in the operating instructions! 
 

Block access to the work area of the machine to 

unauthorized personnel prior to performing maintenance 
or repairs! Attach or set up a warning sign that points out 
maintenance or repair work! 
 

  Pull the power plug prior to any maintenance or 

repair work or switch off the main switch for the power 
supply and secure with a lock, if the power supply is 
installed. 

The key to this lock must be in the hands of the person 
that is completing the maintenance or repair work! Only 
use perfect load suspension and lifting equipment when 
replacing heavy machine parts! 

 

 Properly dispose of environmentally
