4.2
Operating entity of the machine
DANGER
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
Persons and parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized in case of non-
observance.
b
Changes to the electrical integration of the single-beam photoelectric safety switch
in the machine control and changes to the mechanical mounting of the single-
beam photoelectric safety switch necessitate a new risk assessment. The results
of this risk assessment may require the entity operating the machine to meet the
obligations of a manufacturer.
