AIN WARNINGS FOR MACHINE USE
It is mandatory to read this Use and Maintenance Instruction Manual before carrying out any work on
the machine: its initial operation by unqualified persons could cause serious injuries to people and
damage to property.
All maintenance, adjustment and replacement operations described in this Use and Maintenance
Instruction Manual must only be carried out after the machine has been stopped. Do not work on the
machine before stopping the moving parts that make it up.
The keys for opening the guards must be kept by the person in charge of the machine. Leaving the
key inserted in a lock may cause a danger that an unauthorised person will come into contact with
hazardous moving parts.
The operations that require direct contact with machine parts that heat up during processing, such as
adjustment, assembly and replacement, must only be carried out using protective gloves to avoid any
risk of accident.
The guards have been fitted by the Manufacturer in order to safeguard the operator's safety. During
operation the guards must not be removed for any reason.
It is forbidden to tamper with, alter or modify, even partially, the machine, the equipment of the
command and control system and the relative devices for interfacing with the operator, as well as the
protections provided for the safety of persons.
It is extremely important that no unauthorised person passes through the working area of the machine
or, worse still, intervenes on a component of the machine during its operation, in order to avoid
possible accidents.
Before starting the MACHINE make sure that all protective devices are in place and fully functional.
Smoking is strictly forbidden in the vicinity of the machine during refuelling and in all phases of work,
maintenance and cleaning of the machine.
Before carrying out any adjustment, maintenance and/or replacement operations, the operator is
required to wait a certain period from when the machine is stopped: this period, in fact, is necessary
to let the areas that heat up during normal operation cool down. It is always necessary to pay utmost
attention to all areas of the machine where there is a hazard of burns, due to contact with parts that
heat up during the operating cycle.
When carrying out adjustment, maintenance and/or replacement operations within the working area
of the machine, pay the utmost attention to all potentially hazardous elements.
Be extremely careful in areas of the machine where there is a risk of contact with moving parts, in
order to avoid crushing/dragging of the upper limbs.
During lifting and transport operations, special lifting devices and ropes or chains with a load capacity
greater than the sum of their own weight and that of the item to be lifted must be used.
