Safety rules for repair and maintenance work
Work that has to be carried out in the switch cabinet and at the electrical
control system must be carried out by skilled personnel only.
Changes and reconstructions of the machine should be carried out with the
approval of FORTUNA only.
It is not allowed to inactivate safety devices or safety guards or to impair
their effectiveness.
Take utmost care when certain installation work of the machine requires to
switch off safety devices.
You endanger your life if you open the door of the switch cabinet when the
main switch is on.
The power supply to the machine must be interrupted (main switch off)
during the maintenance and cleaning work.
The danger reference marks in the switch cabinet must be strictly observed
(e. g. ‘Attention: machine is voltage-carrying even when the main switch is
off’).
It is obligatory to blunt the knife prior to opening the covering or changing
the knife. Even when the knife is dull there is a risk of injury. Therefore, the
use of steel mesh safety gloves is mandatory.
The machine must be secured (e. g. by locally closing it with a warning
tape) against unauthorized start-up by switching off the main switch when
the machine is left unattended during maintenance work.
Spare parts and replacement parts subject to wear must be examined prior
to their installation and must comply with the manufacturer’s specifications
(this applies specially to knives and grinding wheels).
Appropriate measures must be taken when cleaning and degreasing the
machine with aggressive and inflammable agents.
We recommend that you use only original FORTUNA spare parts.
