INFORMATION ABOUT POSSIBLE HAZARDS
Special attention should be paid to the serviceability of the power connecting
cable as well as of other perishable parts installed on the machine. Check for no
leakage of oil, fuel or other dangerous substances .
Should this be the case, an operator must absolutely avoid to start the machine
until the problem is resolved.
Furthermore, any loose object that is not integral to the machine (as tools left on
the ground after servicing, personal objects, gasoline can used to fill up the petrol
tank, etc...) must be removed from the machine or its surrounding area.
An operator, his assistant and a maintenance man shall wear the following:
a) Safety goggles and faceplates to protect from splinters; when working in
the presence of a dense dust, wearing suitable masks is recommended.
b) Safety gloves.
c) Ear protectors (sound-proofing ear-plugs).
Besides, they must wear suitable working cloths, free from flying parts, and avoid
to wear jewels (chains or bracelets) or other things which could be pinched in the
machine moving elements; long haired people must wear suitable hair-nets to
prevent entanglement.
Before starting work, check that your machine is standing stable, loading
hoppers are free from material and the ejecting mouth has been adjusted and so
that no person possibly passing near the machine could be hit on.
No safety device or guard must be removed from the machine unless it is
absolutely required for repairing and/or servicing purposes.
Safeties must be immediately replaced as soon as there is a reasons for their
replacement, however, always before starting your machine up.
Every 10 hours of work, check that the locking bolts, loading hoppers, enclosures
and guarding plates are tightened; tighten them promptly, if required.
Never leave your machine running without watching it over; any displacement
must be carried out only when machine is still and after awaiting that all of the
machine rotating parts are quite still.
