| Operating instructions
Information and safety instructions for the responsible body
• Always ensure that the machine is in good working order. Observe the maintenance information.
• Report any unusual machine behavior to the person responsible immediately.
• Only use the dimensions and materials specified in these instructions. Other materials should be used only after
consulting with Orbitalum Tools customer service.
• Use only original tools, spare parts, materials and accessories from Orbitalum Tools.
• Repair and maintenance work on the electrical equipment may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
• At the end of each working cycle, before transportation, changing tools, cleaning and performing any maintenance,
adjustment or repair work, switch off the machine, allow it to run to a stop and pull the mains plug.
• Do not carry the machine by the cable assembly and protect them from heat, oil and sharp edges.
• During operation, keep hands away from the tools.
• Check that the tube is correctly clamped.
• Switch on the machine only when the tube has been clamped.
• In extreme conditions of use, conductive dust can settle inside the machine. For this reason and for better safety,
an on-site SPE-PRCD or ground-fault circuit (30 mA) is required between the mains network and the machine, to be
installed and tested if necessary by a professional electrician.
• When working with the machine wear safety shoes (as per EN ISO 20345 at least S1).
NOTE
The recommendations concerning "Personal protective equipment" only apply
to the product being described. Other requirements resulting from the ambient
conditions on-site or of other products, or from combining with other products, are
not taken into account. These recommendations do not in any way release the re-
sponsible body (employer) from its statutory health and safety at work obligations
towards its employees.
