1.2 Organisational measures of the system
operator
Use as safety component
If the control has been delivered not ready for use (with a Declaration of
Conformity according to Annex II b of the Machinery Directive 98/37/EC) the
operator or the system manufacturer must ensure observance of the safety
regulations.
Of the safety regulations, observe in particular the Machinery Directive
98/37/EC and the standards DIN EN 349, DIN EN 292 and DIN EN 294.
The operator must make sure that
•
the instructions contained in the operating manual concerning
startup, operation and maintenance are observed.
•
the press system is properly operated, tested and maintained and
the responsibilities for these tasks are clearly set out.
•
those persons responsible for activities on the press system have
read this operating manual and, in particular, chapter “1 Safety”,
before starting work. This also applies to persons who work only
occasionally.
•
this operating manual is always kept within easy reach at the
workplace.
1.3 Risks
The press system is constructed so as not to put any persons at risk when
used in accordance with its designated use. However, certain parts of the
press system cannot be protected without limiting its functionality and
usability. Thus, despite constructional safety measures, a residual danger
remains.
Safe press operation requires the interaction of press, control unit, tools,
safety devices and conduct of the user in accordance with the safety
measures.
Injuries or death caused by touching live parts
During assembly and repair work you may come into contact with parts
which carry dangerous voltage in 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.
