Those responsible for system security must ensure that:
all improper use and operations are avoided;
the safety devices are not removed or tampered with;
maintenance operations are regularly performed;
all precautions, individual protection, etc. required by safety regulations and legislation valid in the
user’s country are duly adopted (see EEC directives 89/686/CEE and 89/656/CEE)
only original spares are used, especially for components that perform a safety function.
For this purpose, it is essential that:
this documentation is filed, by a duly assigned person, in a suitable location so that to be always
accessible for consultation, and always in good condition.
only adequately trained personnel are assigned to the machinery.
The “Machine Directive” (89/392/CEE and subsequent changes) defines “OPERATOR” the person(s) assigned
to install, operate, ad just, maintain, clean, repair and handle a machinery.
To better define the degree of preparation, field of operation and level of responsibility of the “OPERATORS”
in this manual we define the following terms:
OPERATOR
Person who does not necessarily have a strong technical background, trained to run
the machine in ordinary production regarding: start-up, stop at the end of the shift,
simple maintenance operations (cleaning, etc.).
MAINTENACE TECHNICIAN (mechanical or electrical)
Qualified Technician assigned to the more complex operations of installations,
maintenance, repairs, etc. within his/her specific field of competence (mechanical or
electrical.)
It is essential to make sure that the assigned operators have read and well understood the manual sections
of their own competence. In particular:
the OPERATOR must consult the sections relevant to “General Information” and
“Use”.
The MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN assigned to installation, maintenance, repair, etc.
must consult all sections of this manual.
