3.2 General safety norms and regulations
•
Before installing and operating the
“DGT” drive units
and/or
endcarriages
:
•
Carefully read and understand this operating manual;
•
Know what safety devices are available and know their location (e.g. endstrokes);
•
Some tasks which need to be carried out on components in operation (e.g. setting the limit switches) expose
operators to potentially dangerous situations; operators must therefore carefully observe the following:
•
Personnel must be authorized and specifically trained on operating procedures, dangerous situations which
may arise, and on correct procedures to prevent and avoid such dangers.
•
If operating personnel is required to remove the cover on the motor drive terminals, due to specific technical
maintenance, inspections or repairs, they must immediately replace the safety guards at the end of such
operations.
•
Personnel must ascertain that, at the end of any intervention on machine components, no tools, foreign
objects or mechanical parts are forgotten inside.
•
For their own personal safety and whenever possible before work operations, personnel conducting
maintenance, inspections and repairs must enact all required preventive safety measures, specifically
checking that the
“DGT” drive units
and/or
endcarriages
have been:
•
set in stop mode (no power or movement) and in a stationary position;
•
disabled (power cut off);
•
subjected to preventive measures (warning signs, blocking devices, etc.) so as to avoid accidental or
unforeseen start-ups.
•
Electrical maintenance personnel intervening on live electrical components must proceed with extreme
caution.
3.3 Safety symbols and warning labels
•
This operating manual uses signals and pictograms to highlight or call the reader’s attention to dangerous
situations resulting from residual risks or actions which must necessarily be conducted according to safety
procedures indicated in this manual.
