MC200H BENDING MACHINE INSTRUCTION BOOK 15
6. WARNINGS
The MC200H bending machine is designed and assembled to allow the operator to handle the machine
and bend the necessary parts in a completely safe manner. Any change to the machine's structure or char-
acteristics could modify the safety offered by the machine, breaching the EC certificate of conformity and
could endanger the operator.
6.1. Residual hazards
Hazardous conditions may occur during the bending of materials that must be analysed and prevented.
Attention should be paid to the movements of the piece to be bent and the roller while the material is being
introduced into the machine as well as during its shaping. Despite the fact that the forward speed of the
rollers is slow, there is a risk of entrapment in the extremities between the rollers and the part.
Users of the machine are recommended to handle the part to be bent firmly with one hand and to move the
hand according to the progress of the bending operation in order to maintain a safe distance from the roll-
ers.
It is also necessary to prepare the work area to prevent other operators from injuring themselves during
operation of the machine.
6.2. Counter-productive methods
Tools or rollers that are not supplied by the manufacturer of the machine, NARGESA S.L., and which have
not been specially designed for the MC200H bending machine should never be used
.
6.3. Other recommendations
- Use gloves for handling the machine and during the bending processes.
- Wear EC-approved goggles and protective boots
- Handle the material at the ends, and never around the area being bent
- Do not work without the protection devices that the machine is fitted with
- Ensure that there is a safe distance between the machine and the operator
