3. SAFETY

3.1  GENERAL WARNINGS

•  The manufacturer, during the design and manufacturing stages, has paid special attention to the aspects that might 

jeopardize the safety and health of the personnel that operates the machinery. As well as the compliance with current 

regulation on the matter, the manufacturer has adopted all the “rules of good craftsmanship”. The purpose of this 

information is to make the user aware to pay special attention in order to foresee any risk. There is no substitute for 

carefulness. Safety also lies in the hands of all operators that work on the machinery.

•  Carefully read the instructions of the manual supplied with the machinery and the ones directly fitted on the machinery, 

especially the ones concerning safety. A little time dedicated to the study of this manual will prevent unpleasant accidents.

•  Pay attention to the meaning of the symbols of the plates fitted on the machinery; their shape and colour are important 

for safety purposes. Keep them readable and comply with their information.

•  Do not tamper with, do not dodge, eliminate or bypass the safety devices installed on the machinery. The non compliance 

with this requirement may cause serious risks for personnel’s safety and health.

•  The personnel that carries out any type of operation during the entire useful life of the machinery must have specific 

technical competence, special skills and experience acquired and acknowledged in the specific sector. The lack of these 

requisites may jeopardize the safety and health of personnel.

•  During operation only use the personal protection clothes and/or devices listed in the instructions supplied by the 

manufacturer and the ones provided for by current regulations on safety at work.

•  During the normal use or for any intervention, keep the surrounding area in adequate condition, especially the one 

accessing the controls, in order to avoid jeopardizing the safety and health of personnel.

•  The operator, as well as being adequately informed on the use of machinery, must possess skills and competence adequate 

to the type of working activity to perform.

•  The machine must only be used for the applications intended by the manufacturer. Only use the machinery for the 

purposes intended by the manufacturer. The employment of the machinery for improper uses may cause risks to the 

safety and the health of personnel and economic loss.

•  Provide appropriate containers to stock the pieces you will be working with.

•  Keep your foot off of the pedal and disconnect the main air supply while performing any machine maintenance .

3.2  SCHEDULED USE

The Machine is designed and built to execute junctions of frames.

The machine is projected for manual use only (under operator control).

3.3  INADVISABLE USE

The machine can not to be used:

• For uses different from those listed in 3.2 paragraph

• Outside in all weather severity

• In an explosive or aggressive atmosphere where there is a high 

density of dust or oily substances suspended in the air

• For molding to be assembled not suitable with the 

machine’s characteristics.

• In a flammable atmosphere

3.4  DANGEROUS AREAS

The area of frames assembly is defined as the  “working 

area”

The dangerous areas of machine, include the movable 

parts and surrounding zones.
