General safety rules
Protection devices installed on the machine
• The guards on the machine are:
fixed guards (e.g. casings, covers, side panels, etc.), fixed to the machine and/or frame
with screws or quick-release connectors that can only be removed or opened with tools.
Therefore the user must not remove or tamper with such devices. The Manufacturer
declines any liability for damage due to tampering or their non-use.
Instructions for use and maintenance
• Risks mainly of a mechanical, thermal and electrical nature exist in the machine. Where
possible the risks have been neutralised:
– directly, by means of adequate design solutions.
– indirectly by using guards, protection and safety devices.
• During maintenance, always carried out by personnel qualified, several risks remain, as
these could not be eliminated, and must be neutralised by adopting specific measures
and precautions.
• Do not carry out any checking, cleaning, repair or maintenance operations on moving
parts. Workers must be informed of this prohibition by means of clearly visible signs.
• To guarantee machine efficiency and correct operation, periodical maintenance must be
carried out according to the instructions given in this manual.
• Make sure to periodically check correct operation of all the safety devices and the
insulation of electrical cables, which must be replaced if damaged.
• Repair and extraordinary Maintenance have to be carried out by specialised authorised
personnel provided with all the appropriate personal protection equipment, tools,
utensils and ancillary means.
• Never operate the machine, removing, modifying or tampering with the guards,
protection or safety devices.
• Before carrying out any operation on the machine, always consult the manual which
gives the correct procedures and contains important information on safety.
Residual risks
• The machine has several risks that were not completely eliminated from a design
standpoint or with the installation of adequate protection devices. Nevertheless, through
this manual the Manufacturer has taken steps to inform operators of such risks, carefully
indicating the personal protection equipment to be used by them. In order to reduce the
risks, provide for sufficient spaces while installing the unit.
To preserve these conditions, the areas around the machine must always be:
– kept free of obstacles (e.g. ladders, tools, containers, boxes, etc.);
– clean and dry;
– well lit.
