General safety rules
2.1 SAFETY
WARNING
The user must train the personnel about the
risk of injuries, about the safety devices
installed in order to safeguard the operator
and about the general accident-prevention
rules established by the laws in force in the
country where the machine is installed.
Operator safety is of prime importance for
machine manufacturers. When creating a
new machine, manufacturers do all in their
power to foresee all the potentially dangerous
situations and naturally install all the
necessary protections. However, the number
of accidents caused by careless and inexpert
use of machines remains high. A distracted,
thoughtless and over-confident attitude often
leads to accidents, as can tiredness and
drowsiness.
It is therefore obligatory to read this manual
carefully, particularly the safety rules, and to
take great care when carrying out operations
that are particularly dangerous. This manual
must accompany the machine if it is moved to
another site or resold, until the time it is
completely dismantled.
The Manufacturer declines all liability for
failure to comply with the safety and
accident-prevention regulations.
WARNING
Pay attention to this symbol when it
appears in the manual. It highlights a
possible danger.
THERE ARE THREE HAZARD LEVELS:
- The
word
«DANGER»
signals
the
maximum danger level and warns that
unless the described operations are carried
out correctly,
they will cause serious
injuries
, death or long-term health risks.
- The word
«WARNING»
warns that unless
the described operations are carried out
correctly
, they could cause serious
injuries
, death or long-term health risks.
- The word
«CAUTION»
warns that unless
the described operations are carried out
correctly, they
could cause damage to
the machine
and/or the person.
2.1.1 TERMINOLOGY USED
• USER:
The user is the person, body or
company who/that has purchased or rented
the machine and who/that intends to use it for
the purposes for which it has been designed.
• DANGER ZONE:
Any zone inside and/or

exposed person could put the safety and
health of that person at risk.
• EXPOSED PERSON:
Any person who is
wholly or partly in a danger zone.
• OPERATOR:
The person or persons

• SPECIALIZED PERSONNEL:
These are
those persons who have been specially
trained
and
authorized
to
carry
out
maintenance work or repairs requiring
particular knowledge of the machine, the way
it works, the safety devices, the way of acting,
who are able to recognize the dangers
deriving from using the machine and are
therefore able to avoid them.
2.2
SAFETY DECALS
All possible measures were taken when the
machine was built in order to safeguard the
operators. Despite all this, there may still be
further residual risks that are indicated on the
machine my means of decals. This decals
(pictograms), illustrated in Fig. 4, are affixed
to the machine and point out the various
potentially unsafe and dangerous situations in
a schematic form.
