SAFETY INFORMATION
3
3.1.
GENERAL NORMS
During design and construction, the manufacturer has
carefully considered the possible hazards and person-
al risks that may result from interaction with the ma-
chine. In addition to observing the specific laws in
force, the manufacturer has adopted all "exemplary
construction technique principles". The purpose of this
information is to advise the users to use extreme cau-
tion to avoid risks. However, discretion is invaluable.
Safety is also in the hands of all the operators who in-
teract with the machine.
Carefully read the instructions published in the sup-
plied manual and found directly on the machine while
strictly observing those concerning safety. Time dedi-
cated to reading will prevent unfortunate accidents; re-
membering what one was supposed to do when the
damage is already done is always too late.
Pay attention to the meanings of the symbols on the
applied stickers; their shape and colour are significant
to safety ends. Keep them legible and observe the in-
dicated information. Never tamper, dodge, eliminate or
by-pass the safety devices installed on the machine.
Neglect to respect this requirement may cause serious
risk to personal safety and health.
Personnel who are to perform any type of work on the
machine during its lifetime must possess specific tech-
nical skills, abilities and have acquired certified experi-
ence in the specific field. Neglect to observe these
requirements may prove hazardous to personal safety
and health.
3.2.
HANDLING AND INSTALLATION NORMS
Accomplish lifting and handling respecting the informa-
tion supplied by the manufacturer directly indicated on
the packing, on the machine and in the operating in-
structions.
Personnel who load, unload and transport the machine
must possess skills and acquired certified experience
in the specific field and have command of the lifting ve-
hicles utilised.
The machine must be lifted and moved using transpor-
tation vehicles with suitable load capacities, securing
the machine in the points foreseen by the manufactur-
er. Personnel who are authorised to perform these op-
erations must possess specific skills and experience,
to safeguard themselves and others involved.
Before loading the machine on transportation vehicles,
make sure the machine and its components are well
centred and that the proportions do not exceed the
foreseen maximum dimensions. If necessary, arrange
appropriate signals.
3.3.
OPERATION AND USE NORMS
In addition to being competent on machine use the op-
erator must possess the skills and acquired proficiency
suited to the type of work to be accomplished.
Even after having been adequately trained on machine
use, perform trial manoeuvres to familiarise the opera-
tor with machine controls and functions, start up and
arrest in particular, on first use if necessary.
Only use the machine for the purposes specified by the
manufacturer. Use of the machine for other purposes
may be hazardous to personal safety and health and
provoke economic loss.
The machine is designed and constructed to satisfy all
the operating conditions indicated by the manufactur-
er. Tampering with any device to achieve services oth-
er than those may be hazardous to personal safety
and health and provoke economic loss.
Do not use the machine if the safety devices are not
correctly installed and efficient. Neglect to observe this
requirement may be hazardous to personal safety and
health. Do not use the machine on uneven or slanted
floors.
