4. General safety standards
The safe and systematic use of the machine is subject to compliance with the below listed standards and
behaviours.
4.1. Safety standards.
•
Personnel must be in good physical and mental condition, adequately trained on using the "sprizza" by reading
this manual.
•
Only professional use of the machine is allowed in places where access to the public, to profane, to children
and to anyone not expressly authorised is forbidden.
•
It is forbidden to use the machine: for operations and / or with different product(s) to those specified; if the
connections to the service facilities from the site are not run as expected in this manual; in places with risk of
fire and / or explosion and major incidents, high humidity or wet, excess water vapour, oily vapour, dust,
presence of corrosive substances / gases, adverse weather conditions; in the vicinity of naked flame, zones
with projection of sparks and heat sources; in conditions of abnormal vibration or shock.
•
The safety officer, and / or the employer, and / or the owner of the company, in choosing the person who will be
authorised to use the machine (suitable person to work according to applicable laws), must check the same on
the basis of attitudes and skills encountered and provide training of the same, with the reading of this
publication, in order to provide comprehensive knowledge of the machine and of the rules of conduct applicable
to it.
•
The space around the machine must be well-lit, uncluttered and clean. Leave about 250mm of free space
around the machine, especially on the side where the master switch is located, leave 1000mm.
•
Personnel in charge of running, cleaning and servicing the machine must wear the prescribed P.P.E. (personal
protective equipment): gloves, shoes with reinforced tip, goggles, masks and helmet.
•
Do not wear loose clothing or with fluttering hems (ties, torn clothes, open jackets, etc.) to avoid the risk of
entanglement.
•
During maintenance and cleaning operations, the operator must release the master switch (OFF) and secure
the system (for example, by removing the plug and leaving it in a clearly visible position).
•
Never leave the machine unattended during operation, pay attention to unusual sounds or behaviour and keep
away from rotating parts. Never open the guard unless the tool has completely stopped.
•
In order to empty the machine completely, release the master switch (OFF), disconnect power by removing the
plug and leaving it clearly visible, secure it and clean with water.
4.2. Safety devices.
The machine is equipped with some devices to protect its operation and the operator's safety; they must never be
removed and modified and their operation must be periodically verified.
•
Master switch: disconnects power to the machine, for safe maintenance.
•
Circuit breaker: it interrupts power supply in case of overheating of the electric motor that moves the spiral.
•
Fixed guards: all casings and protections fixed with screws or mechanical blocks can only be removed for
maintenance, by qualified personnel and as prescribed. Once the work is completed, they must be immediately
reassembled.
•
Mobile guards: properly closed mobile guards allow the machine to be used.
A lack of these conditions prevents operation.
4.3. Educating and training of machine operators
As repeatedly stated in this manual, the employer must provide workers with adequate information and training,
also practical, on the correct and safe use of the machine (must be simple and understandable in relation to the
acumen that can reasonably be expected by those concerned).
The following table provides a minimum list of topics to be covered as information, training and educating of
personnel; for clarity we provide the following definitions:
information: transfer of information, knowledge, etc…, without verification of learning;
