1.8. General safety information
In the design and construction of this unit, priority has been given to criteria and adaptations suitable to meet
the essential safety requirements, as prescribed by the European Directives 73/23/EEC and 89/392/EEC,
subsequent modifications (91/368/EEC - 93/44/EEC - 93/68/EEC) and applicable regulations. Please note that,
in accordance with the provisions of the machine directive 89/392/EEC, the air filter is to be considered as an
integral
part of the machine tool
. Therefore, the air filter cannot be put into operation until the machine, of
which it is an integral part (and component), is declared in conformity with the provisions of the directive
89/392/EEC and subsequent modifications. Qualified staff, according to the instructions provided in the present
manual in any way by respecting the corresponding rules and laws, must carry out installation and electrical
connection operations.
LOSMA S.P.A.
recommend following carefully the instructions, procedures and suggestions contained in this
manual and in the current "accident prevention regulations".

and tear of time make them illegible, replace them with new ones.
See attached enclosure “Position of the warning labels”.
1.8.3. Noise level
Noise level data, for each model, is indicated in
enclosure "Technical Specifications".
Note
The noise level data indicated in the
Technical Specifications
has been recorded (as per ISO 3746) with free inlet. These
data may change according to the installation conditions of the air filter (assembly on enclosed machine tools or on open
cabin, etc.).
1.9. Personnel qualification
Qualified personnel must undertake installation, maintenance and use of the air filter unit. Exclusively qualified electricians
should carry out electrical connection of the unit.
