MAIN WARNINGS FOR MACHINE USE
It is mandatory to read this Use and Maintenance Instruction Manual before carry-
ing 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 unautho-
rised 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 opera-
tor'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 interfac-
ing 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 opera-
tion 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 hazard-
ous 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.
