Safety First

The safety of all people carrying out any activities associated with the installation and use of the metal
detector is of primary importance. This chapter is therefore included to provide you with general safety
guidance. The following sections provide more information:



Safety Awareness

All personnel engaged in activities associated with the installation of the metal detector should
read and comply with the instructions and information contained herein, the statutory
requirements and regulations, including the provisions of the Health and Safety at Work Act
(UK), and in line with other international standards.



EC Declaration of Conformity

Provided it is installed, operated, serviced and maintained in accordance with the guidelines
contained in this User Guide, the metal detector complies with the appropriate EU Directives
which are listed in this section. A signed EC Declaration of Conformity is supplied with each
metal detector.



Safety Warnings

A number of general safety warnings appropriate for the use of Loma metal detectors is
provided in this section. It is essential that personnel who are, or will be, responsible for
installing, maintaining or operating the metal detector described in this manual should read
and understand these warnings.



Safety Labels

Safety labels are attached or etched in appropriate places to highlight areas of the metal
detector where caution should be taken to avoid potential hazards. The labels used are listed
and described in this section.



Safety Guards

For Loma metal detectors the use of guarding, including covers, panels, curtains and other
methods is extremely important in order to restrict operators from accessing areas of the
metal detector that are potentially hazardous which the machine is operating. This section
provides some guidance on checking the guards.



Responsibilities and Disclaimer

The metal detector warranty provided by Loma System is subject to it being used and
maintained in accordance with a set of guidelines which are included in this section.



Safety Measures

Before attempting to use the metal detector, a number of basic checks should be carried out
to ensure that it is in a safe condition and ready to be used. A list of recommended checks is
included in this section.



Intended Use of the Metal Detector

Loma metal detectors are designed to be used in an industrial environment for detecting
metal contaminants in products presented in packets, pouches or loose products. Any
improper use could invalidate the EC Declaration of Conformity issued with the metal detector
and also the metal detector warranty. This section provides further details.



Noise Levels

Loma metal detectors do not emit a level of noise that is hazardous. However, in line with
current legislation, the customer should verify that the overall noise levels within the operating
environment are within defined limits.
