Safety
General This chapter contains an overview of all important safety aspects.
In addition, the individual sections contain specific safety instructions on how to avoid
danger, indicated with appropriate symbols. Furthermore, the pictograms, signs and
instructions on the appliance must be observed and kept in a readable condition.
Observation of the safety instructions permits optimal protection to the personnel
against hazards and ensures safe and reliable use of the equipment.
The appliance is designed to the current standard of technology and operational
safety. However, danger can arise from this appliance if it is not operated by properly
trained personnel, if it is used improperly or not for the purpose intended.
Every person, who is asked to work with or carry out work on the appliance, is re-
quired to read the operating instructions and have understood it before working with
the equipment. This also applies to people who have already worked with such an
appliance or a similar one or who were trained by the manufacturer.
Knowledge of the content of the operating instructions is a prerequisite for protecting
personnel against danger and avoiding mistakes and thus ensure safe and reliable
operation of the appliance. The employer is advised to obtain confirmation from the
operator that he/she had read and understood the operating instructions.
To avoid danger and ensure optimal performance, no modifications or changes may
be made to the equipment unless they have been expressly approved by the manu-
facturer.
All safety signs and operating instructions on the appliance must always be kept in a
clearly readable condition. Damaged or unreadable signs must be replaced immedi-
ately.
The settings and ranges of values shown in the operating instructions must be re-
spected.
Responsibility of the
owner/operator The operating instructions and the manufacturers' manuals relating to the compo-
nents integrated in it must be kept near the appliance and must be available to the
installation, service, maintenance and cleaning personnel at all times.
The appliance may only be used when it is in a safe condition and in perfect working
order. All protective covers must be fitted at all times and regularly checked to ensure
they are in good condition.
The statements about the work safety are based on the directives of the European
Union, valid at the time of manufacture of the appliance. During the entire working life
of the equipment, the owner/operator is obliged to compare the above mentioned
safety protection measures with the current regulations in force and heed any new
rules which may have been introduced. Outside the European Union, the work safety
laws and local regulations valid where the equipment is used must also be complied
with.
Beside the work safety guidelines contained in the operating instructions, it is also
necessary to comply with the generally valid safety and accident prevention regula-
tions which apply to the use of the appliance and with the current environmental
protection regulations.
The owner/operator and those authorized by him are responsible for ensuring reliable
operation of the equipment and for clearly specifying who is responsible for the set
up, operation, maintenance and cleaning of the appliance.
The instructions given in these operating instructions must be complied with in full
and without reservations!
The owner/operator has also to ensure that
•
as specified in the work safety regulations, a hazard assessment is carried out to
determine what risks exist which are specific to the area where the equipment is to
be used.
•
as specified in the law on the use of tools and appliances, an instruction sheet is
provided containing all additional instructions and safety regulations, resulting from
the hazard assessment of the workplace.
