2 General safety instructions
1 Due diligence of the operating company
The Mayer TM 1610F potting machine was designed
and built with taking a danger analysis into
consideration and after careful selection of the
harmonised standards to be complied with as well as
other specifications. It therefore meets the state-of-
the art of techniques and guarantees a maximum
degree of safety.
However, this safety can only be achieved in actual
operational practice only if all necessary measures
are taken. Planning these measures and checking
their implementation is subject to the operating
organisation's duty to take due care.
The operating organisation must in particular
guarantee that:
•
… the machine is only used in accordance
with its intended use (cf. section Product
description).
•
… the machine is only operated when in
flawless working order and, especially, that
the working order of the safety equipment
is regularly checked.
•
… the Operating Instructions are always
available in legible condition and complete
at the location where the machine is used.
•
… only sufficiently qualified and authorised
personnel operate, service and repair the
machine.
•
… these personnel are regularly instructed
about all relevant matters concerning
industrial safety and environmental
protection and that they know the Operating
Instructions and especially the safety
instructions they contain.
•
… none of the safety and warning signs
attached to the machine are removed and
that all remain legible.
•
Users must obligate themselves only to
ever operate the machine when it is
flawless condition.
•
No unauthorised conversions or alterations
are allowed that influence the machine's
safety.
•
Only when the machine has stopped must
any work ever be carried out on it.
