2 _1 Safety instructions
2 _1.1 Significance of the operating instructions
These operating instructions are a component of the
unit, and must:
•
always, i.e. until the unit is disposed of, be kept
close at hand.
•
be passed on if the unit is sold, disposed of or hired
out.
The manufacturer must be contacted if any part of the
operating instructions is not completely clear.
The single disc machine has been constructed accord-
ing to the state-of-the-art and in accordance with the
valid regulations; the unit may nevertheless be the
source of unavoidable residual dangers to persons and
material assets. For this reason, all persons who are
involved in the operation of this unit, in the transporta-
tion, assembly, operation, maintenance and repair of
this unit, must be instructed and be aware of the possi-
ble dangers. To this end, the operating instructions
and, in particular, the safety instructions, must be
carefully read, comprehended and complied with.
A lack of, or insufficient, knowledge of the operating
instructions leads to the loss of any right to make li-
ability claims against the manufacturer. It is therefore
recommended that the operator have the instruction of
personnel confirmed in writing.
2 _1.2 Obligations on the part of the operator
In accordance with EU operating materials usage
guideline 89/655/EEC Art. 6(1) and 7 and EU basic
guideline 89/391/EEC Art. 1(1) and Art. 6(1), the op-
erator is obliged to provide instruction, and particularly
safety instruction, for those persons who are to be
commissioned to assemble, operate, maintain, repair
or disassemble this machine.
In addition, the operator is obliged, in accordance with
EU operating materials usage guideline 89/655/EEC
Art. 4a to examine the machine prior to initial opera-
tion, following repairs and following malfunctions.
2 _1.3 Usage in accordance with the regulations
The 2310/2330 is a high-speed polishing machine, and
is exclusively intended for use in polishing hard floors
within buildings. All other usage which exceeds this is
not regarded as being in accordance with the regula-
tions. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage
which occurs as a result of this; the risk of this is borne
exclusively by the user. Usage in accordance with the
regulations also involves compliance with the operat-
ing, maintenance and upkeep conditions which are
specified by the manufacturer.
•
The machine is not suitable for working with dusts
which represent a threat to health.
•
The machine is not protected against explosion.
•
The machine has not been approved for cleaning
public roads or carriageways.
•
The machine must only be used for dry cleaning,
and must not be used in the open air.
2 _1.4 Who is permitted to operate the machine?
The machine may only be operated by persons trained
in its handling and explicitly authorised for this job.
These persons should be 18 years of age minimum.
The machine may only be used for the kind of opera-
tion that it has been designed for.
The relevant accident prevention regulations and the
other generally recognised safety-technical, industrial
medicine and, insofar as these are applicable, legal
road traffic, regulations must be complied with.
The operator must not carry out any repairs on the
machine unless trained specifically. Assembly, retrofit-
ting, maintenance and upkeep require special knowl-
edge, and may only be carried out by trained specialist
personnel.
2 _1.5 Safety instructions in the operating manual
The warning instructions which are contained in the
operating instructions serve to eradicate possible
sources of danger from the single disc machine.

2 _1.6 In order to ensure the safety of the
operator
•
The power supply plug must never be touched with
moist hands.
•
When disconnecting the machine from the mains,
pull only on the mains plug and not on the power
cable.
•
Repairs and other operations may only be carried
out by electrical specialists.
If an operation can only be executed
whilst the machine is live, this may only
be carried out by an electrical specialist
who is familiar with the risks which are
involved and with the relevant regulations
(VDE0100). If operations are carried out
whilst the machine is live, only tools which
have been expressly authorised for this
purpose may be used.
