Basic safety information 

These  operating  instructions  provide  the  information  operators  require  to  use  the  BF 
bowl feeder safely. These operating instructions, and in particular the safety information, 
must  be  observed  by  anyone  working  on  and  with  the  BF.  The  applicable  on-site  acci-
dent prevention rules and regulations must also be observed. 

These operating instructions must always be kept ready to hand where the BF is operat-
ed. 

 

1.3

 

Appropriate use 

Afag BF bowl feeders are designed only for storing, transporting, separating and sorting 
workpieces  of  varying  dimensions,  shapes  and  material  variants.  Appropriate  use  also 
includes observation of all Notes in these operating instructions. 

 

WARNING

 

 

The BF may not be used: 

a)

 

in damply and wet area 

b)

 

in temperature lower than 10°C or higher than 45°C 

c)

 

in areas where readily flammable media are present 

d)

 

in areas where readily explosive media are present 

e)

 

in heavy polluted or dust- laden area 

f)

 

in aggressive area (e.g. saliferous atmosphere) 

 

None modification or reconstruction are allowed. The operations described in chapter 3.3 
Fixing  the  bowl  
and  in  chapter  4.1  Standard  operation  are  excluded  from  this  arrange-
ment. 

 

NOTE 

 

Any  other use is inappropriate and will  result in the warranty be-
