c. Hooks, rings, etc. are not damaged.
9. MOVING THE MACHINE . The centre of gravity of some metal detectors is high. Lower the
height adjustment to its minimum before moving. Care must be taken when moving a metal
detector on a slope to ensure that it does not topple over. This could result in death or severe
injury to an individual and/or severe damage to the equipment.
10. CONTAMINANTS . Oils and greases must always be handled with care. Prolonged bare skin
exposure to certain oils and greases can cause skin problems. Always handle oils and greases
in accordance with the manufacturer‘s instructions.
11. TRAPPED FINGERS .
Do not place fingers on the underside of the conveyor when the metal
detector is operating. It is possible for fingers to be trapped and subsequently crushed between
a moving and fixed component.
12. WARNING LABELS . Loma metal detectors have a number of safety labels attached to
highlight potentially hazardous areas. Particular attention should be paid to the location of these
labels and their significance in operating the metal detector safely. If necessary, labelling is
provided in the local language to meet legislative requirements.
13. GUARDS . No metal detector is to be run without guards fitted unless for maintenance purposes
and only if adequate precautions have been taken. Under no circumstances is any interlock to
be defeated.
14. OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION WARNING . In the USA, the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Acts quite clearly place the burden of
compliance on the user of equipment, and the acts are generalised to the extent that
determination of adequacy of compliance is a judgement decision on the part of the local
inspector. Hence Loma cannot be held responsible for meeting full requirements of OSHA or
OHSA. with regards to any equipment supplied, nor can Loma be held liable for penalty which
may be assessed for failure to meet the requirements of the acts as interpreted by an
authorised inspector.
15. LIABILITY. This machinery contains high voltages of a hazardous and potentially fatal nature.
Loma Systems cannot accept any liability for death or bodily injury resulting from improper work
undertaken by unqualified operatives, or due to deviations from the maintenance instructions
within this manual. This Liability statement is in addition to the terms of sale.
