1. SAFETY
1.1 Organisational measures
The Operating Instructions are to be kept near the location where the machine is
Being operated, and must be within reach at all times
In addition to these Operating Instructions general and legal regulations regarding
accident prevention and environmental protection must be complied with as per local
regulations.
Such duties may, for example relate to the handling of hazardous substances, or to the
provision and wearing of personal protection equipment, as well as compliance with
traffic regulations.
The Operating Instructions must be supplemented by other instructions, including the
duty to supervise and report incidents relating to particular working practices, for
example work organization, work procedures and personnel safety.
Personnel entrusted with working with the machine must read the Operating
Instructions before starting work, in particular the Safety Instructions chapter. To read
these instructions after work as commenced is too late. This particularly applies to
incidental activities such as setting up the equipment, carrying out maintenance work
or training staff to work with the machine.
From time to time the working practices of the operators are to be checked by a
supervisor especially to the items regarding awareness of safety, and hazards.
Operators must tie back long hair, and not wear loose clothing or jewellery including
rings. There is a risk of injury through items getting caught, or being drawn into
moving machinery.
Use personnel protection equipment if necessary or required by local
regulations! Take notice of all safety and hazard notices on the machine!
All safety and hazard notices at or on the machine must be kept complete and legible!
If safety-critical changes occur to the machine or its working method, the machine
must be shut down immediately! The cause of the fault must be established, and
rectified.
This applies in particular to the fitting and adjustment of safety devices.
