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 system is operating. It is possible
for fingers to be trapped and subsequently crushed between a moving and fixed component.
12. WARNING LABELS.
Loma Metal Detection Systems 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 system safely. If necessary, labelling is provided in the local
language to meet legislative requirements.
13. GUARDS.
No system 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.
16. DISCONNECTION OF POWER.
Before disconnecting the system from power, removing the power plug or loosening the power
terminals ensure that signal cables to other machines are disconnected first.
