Operator Training
5.
Each person who is to use the machine should be fully trained in the safe use of motorised testing machines. The machine has the ability to
generate forces large enough to cause permanent damage to human limbs if placed between the crosshead and the base.
Always disconnect the machine from the mains power supply when not in use to avoid inadvertent actuation of the machine by untrained
personnel.
Protective Clothing
6.
Eye protection should always be used in the form of an approved pair of safety spectacles. They should be replaced if they are scratched or
damaged in any way. They should be kept clean and clear to give maximum visibility to the user.
Extra bodily protection may be necessary if destructive testing of volatile failure of a test piece is likely. A risk assessment should be carried out
prior to using the test frame to ensure that all necessary safety measures have been considered and carried out.
Machine Guarding
7.
If, after the assessment, it is considered that machine guarding is needed, then contact your local Mecmesin supplier who, though the
Mecmesin Application Engineering Department, can arrange the supply of a suitable guard to offer the required level of protection.
Continued Safe Use
8.
Once the machine is installed it should provide a reliable long term resource for universal testing.
If however the machine fails, or appears to behave in an unusual manner, contact your local Mecmesin supplier for support. Do not continue
to use the machine until it has been checked, and if necessary repaired and returned to a safe working condition.
9.
If the machine is damaged in use, advise your local Mecmesin supplier and have the machine repaired to a safe working condition. Do not
use the machine until it is repaired.
Lifting Instructions
10.
