The press must be operated, checked and maintained properly. The
competences for these operations must be defined clearly.
Use the press only if all the required protective devices have been installed
completely and are in a functional state. The protective devices must not be
bypassed or deactivated.
Depending on the working process, tool, size and work piece material, an
additional working area protection may be needed. The owner is responsible
for this.
According to the country-specific regulations, perform risk assessment and
take the appropriate safety measures if necessary.
1.3 Residual risks
Safe press operation requires proper interaction of press, control, pressing
tool, safety device(s) and action of the users in accordance with safety
procedures.
Certain places at the press cannot be protected without limiting the
functionality and usability of the press. Therefore, despite all constructive
safety measures, there is still a residual risk.
DANGER
Injuries or death caused by touching live parts
When carrying out assembly and maintenance work, you may come into
contact with parts that carry dangerous voltage during operation. Touching
live parts may cause death.
Any work on the electrical system or equipment must be carried out
only by trained electricians or by specially instructed persons under the
control and supervision of a trained electrician and in accordance with
the applicable electrical engineering rules and regulations.
WARNING
Risks for persons
When working with the press, the operator must not endanger
himself/herself or other persons.
Operate the press only if no other person is in the hazard zone.
WARNING
Risk of burns from heated parts
Press operations can heat up tools and workpieces. There is a risk of
coming into contact with the heated parts. This can result in burns to the
body. Heated parts can also cause fires.
Wear protective clothing.
Install an appropriate protective device.
