OPERATOR
The operator is to be a person that is suited to the work and physically and psychologically
able to withstand the demands connected with operating the equipment for its intended use.
The operator must not allow anyone to approach the machine while it is working, and must not
allow the use of external personnel. He is to follow the instructions given to obtain maximum
performance, minimum consumption, and maximum safety for himself and for others.
Especially in terms of safety, the operator is to scrupulously observe all the instructions given
in this manual.
OPERATOR’S POSITION
When the machine is running, the operator must pay particular attention to his own position to
prevent this being a source of danger to himself or those nearby. The area surrounding the
equipment is divided into two zones:
OPERATOR’S ZONES
These are the zones the operator has to work in, while the equipment is working normally.
The “operator’s zones” are to be considered as potentially dangerous areas. In these areas,
which are indicated in the drawing below, it is best for the safety of the operator and those
nearby, to be very careful when the machine is working.
It is extremely important that all
the accident prevention standards indicated are strictly applied.
DANGEROUS ZONES
These are the areas that anyone not involved in the work is not to approach under any
circumstances, while the machine is working.
