1 General
These operating instructions must always
be available at the place of use of the hand
extruder.
The objective of these operating instructions is to
support operators in familiarizing themselves with the
hand extruder and in using its functions for the
intended service.
These operating instructions provide important
information for the safe, workmanlike and
economical operation of the hand extruder. Their
observance helps avoid danger, minimize repair
costs and downtimes, enhance reliability, and extend
the service life of the hand extruder.
These operating instructions must be observed by all
persons working with/on the hand extruder. Such
work includes, for instance:
•
operation,
•
maintenance, inspection and repair
•
transport.
The hand extruder may only be mounted, operated
and maintained by trained personnel.
In addition to the operating instructions and the
national and local accident prevention regulations
applicable at the place of use, the acknowledged
technical rules for safe and proper working practices
must be observed.
These operating instructions provide basic
information to be observed for operation and
maintenance. For this reason, it is imperative that
they be read by the specialist personnel/Operator
prior to placing the hand extruder in service and that
they always be available at the place of use.
Apart from the general safety instructions under
section “Safety“, also the special safety instructions
given under the respective sub-sections must be
adhered to.
Non-observance of the safety instructions
may cause hazards to persons and the environment
or damage to the hand extruder.
Moreover, failure to observe the safety instructions
may lead to the forfeiture of any damages.
Non-observance of the safety instructions may in
particular involve the following risks:
•
failure of important hand extruder functions,
•
hazards to persons due to electrical and
mechanical impacts including risk of burns,
•
hazards to the environment due to vapour-phase
hazardous substances,
•
risk of fire.
2 Safety
These operating instructions provide basic
information to be observed for operation and
maintenance. For this reason, it is imperative that
they be read by the specialist personnel/Operator
prior to placing the hand extruder in service and that
they always be available at the place of use.
Safe operation of the hand extruder presupposes
that the instructions under section 1 – General – of
these operating instructions are complied with. In no
case must the limit values indicated be violated.
Intact and unaltered hand extruders conform to the
applicable codes and standards and meet all
regulatory limit values regarding EMC
(electromagnetic discharges and interference
immunity). For the country-specific limit values to be
observed, the Operator should consult the local
electric utility. Nevertheless, the hand extruders emit
electromagnetic fields within the acceptable limits.
Electromagnetic fields may interfere with the
operation of vital electronic devices (e.g. cardiac
pacemakers). Persons wearing a cardiac pacemaker
should therefore consult their physician before using
the machine.
In addition to the operating instructions and the
national and local accident prevention regulations
applicable at the place of use, the acknowledged
technical rules for safe and proper working practices
must be observed.
Apart from the general safety instructions under
section “Safety“, also the special safety instructions
given under the respective sub-sections must be
adhered to.
Any working practices posing a safety risk are
prohibited.
