Chapter 1 – Safety

Foreword
The official regulations applied in the user country take priority over the safety regulations and
usages described in this chapter. It is up to the person in charge of the equipment to make sure
that these instructions are in line with legislation.
The "customer" safety manager will complete these instructions with any safety regulations
he judges to be useful in application.
Respecting these regulations will ensure the safety of personnel and property during
operations using the equipment. Three types of pictogram are provided to draw your particular
attention to specific points:
This symbol identifies a potentially hazardous situation which could have serious
or even fatal consequences if the precautions given are not respected.
This pictogram identifies a situation which can lead to personal accident if the
precautions given are not taken.
This pictogram is a reminder of safety practices or warns of the consequences
that carelessness during an intervention can generate.
Everyone concerned with using, maintaining, storing or keeping this working equipment must
be familiar with these rules.
Any user who is the cause of an accident due to failure to respect these rules, will be held fully
responsible.
This manual is designed for users and maintenance personnel. It may include details of the
various options available. The notes and illustrations provided in this manual may show details
and accessories which differ from your equipment.
Indeed, the basic characteristics may be identical, but
GEISMAR
reserves the right to make
improvements.
Please contact
GEISMAR
for further information about your equipment working or this
manual. For orders of spare parts, requests for information or intervention, please provide the
type reference, code and serial number of your equipment.
This information is on the manufacturer's plate. It must be kept legible.
