for use in direct machine proximity. Maintenance and in-
spection intervals are to be adhered to.
The machine/plant must only be used in technically per-
fect condition in accordance with its designated use and the
instructions set out in the operating manual, and only by
safety–conscious persons who are fully aware of the risks
involved in operating the machine/plant. Any functional dis-
orders, especially those affecting the safety of the machine/
plant, should therefore be recti ed immediately.
The machine/plant may be operated only for its designated
use.
Organizational measures
In addition to the operating instructions, observe and in-
struct the user in all other generally applicable legal and
other mandatory regulations relevant to accident preven-

For reasons of security, long hair must be tied back or oth-
erwise secured, garments must be close– tting and no je-
wellery – such as rings – may be worn. Injury may result
from being caught up in the machinery or from rings cat-
ching on moving parts.
Use protective equipment wherever required by the circum-
stances or by law.
Observe all safety instructions and warnings attached to the
machine/plant.
See to it that safety instructions and warnings attached to
the machine are always complete and perfectly legible.
In the event of safety relevant modi cations or changes in
the behaviour of the machine/plant during operation stop
the machine/plant immediately and report the malfunction
to the competent authority/person.
Never make any modi cations, additions or conversions,
which might affect safety without the supplier’s approval.
This also applies to the installation and adjustment of safety
devices and valves as well as to welding work on load–bea-
ring elements.
Spare parts must comply with the technical requirements
speci ed by the manufacturer. Spare parts from original
equipment manufacturers can be relied to do so.
