Everybody involved with the installation, start-up, operation and servicing (inspection, maintenance,
repair work) of the machine at the owner’s company has to have carefully read and understood the
entire operating manual and especially the chapter entitled "Safety".
•
This machine is a state-of-the-art device at the time of delivery. The respective safety regulations for
machine operation have been observed.
•
All parts, whether self-manufactured or purchased from a component firm, comply with technical
standards and EU regulations in accordance with machinery directive 98/37/EC.
•
A continuous quality control of our own and third party parts is carried out prior to assembly at our
production plant.

All safety and protective equipment is included in this safety concept which is geared towards pro-
tecting all the people who are employed to work on or with this machine against dangers..
NOTICE
Technical intervention in the functioning and effectiveness of the safety devices, safety swit-
ches and covers or casing is expressly prohibited.
If any of the safety and protective devices are either entirely or partially put out of service,
claims for recourse against the manufacturer shall not be accepted.
The machine is then considered unsafe for operation as defined by law and should neither be
operated nor provided to third parties for operation.
NOTICE

NOTICE
If the operator manual expressly states that the power supply has to be disconnected for cer-
tain tasks at the machine, these tasks should only be carried out after it has been ensured that
accidental switching on of the power supply cannot occur directly or via a third party. This
means:
•
The power supply has to be disconnected either by disconnecting the machine from the
mains or by disconnecting the plug,
or:
•
The main switch has to be secured accordingly, i.e. using a padlock or placing a seal
through the provided holes in the switch.
