Have the machine and/or the electric equipment checked regularly. Immediately eliminate all
defects such as loose connections, defective wires, etc.

the event of an emergency. Disconnect the machine immediately if there is a malfunction in the
power supply!
Comply with the required inspection intervals in accordance with the factory safety directive,
operating equipment inspection DGUV, formerly BVG.
The operating company responsible for the machine must ensure that the electrical systems
and operating equipment are inspected with regards to their proper condition, namely,
by a qualified electrician or under the supervision and direction of a qualified electrician,
prior to initial commissioning and after modifications or repairs, prior to recommissioning
and at set intervals.
The intervals must be set so that foreseeable defects can be detected in a timely manner, when
they occur.
The relevant electro-technical rules must be followed during the inspection.
The inspection prior to initial commissioning is not required if the operator receives confirma-
tion from the manufacturer or installer that the electrical systems and operating equipment com-
ply with the accident prevention regulations, see conformity declaration.
Permanently installed electrical systems and operating equipment are considered constantly
monitored if they are continually serviced by qualified electricians and inspected by means of
measurements in the scope of operation (e.g. monitoring the insulation resistance).
