1.6.
EMISSION OF AIRBORNE NOISE
NOTE – The manufacturer declares, under his own responsibility, that the machine produces a continuous equivalent A-weighted
sound pressure level of 72 dB.
DANGER – WARNING:
TO AVOID THE DANGER OF HEARING DAMAGE CAUSED BY SHRILL OR INSISTENT NOISE, THE MACHINE OPERATOR
AND MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN MUST ALWAYS USE APPROPRIATE HEARING PROTECTION, SUCH AS HEARING
DEFENDERS OR EARPLUGS.
1.7.
RESIDUAL RISKS - GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual contains a list and description of the residual risks that could not be eliminated in the design stage and that therefore remain
present on the machine.
For each risk, suitable instructions or prescriptions are given which the user must observe in order to avoid hazards affecting the machine
operator, maintenance technicians, any exposed persons and the machine itself.
1.8. RESIDUAL
RISKS
Residual risk due to noise
As demonstrated by experimental tests, the machine produces a continuous equivalent A-weighted sound pressure level of 72 dB.
To avoid the risk of hearing damage caused by shrill or insistent noise during machine use, in addition to being adequately informed and
trained, the operator and maintenance technician must always use appropriate hearing protection, such as hearing defenders, earplugs
or similar personal protection equipment to safeguard hearing.
PPE to be used:
Hearing protection
Residual risk due to the combustibility of the substances used in the machine and the products handled by the same
To avoid the hazards resulting from:

There is a residual risk for the maintenance technician, when the safety guards are open and valve piloting is activated using the special
tool, in order to check (during troubleshooting procedures) the operation of the pneumatically operated mobile elements, when energy
remains accumulated inside the actuator cylinders.
Consequently, when the aforementioned activities are performed, the maintenance technician must make sure that no exposed persons
are found near the pneumatically controlled mobile elements and in any case said mobile elements must only be activated if strictly
necessary for pinpointing operating faults.

and/or tanks which remain pressurized.

Consequently, before carrying out any work on the aforementioned cylinders, in accordance with the instructions given in the actuator
manuals supplied with the machine, the maintenance technician must neutralise the accumulated energy working in compliance with
the safety regulations applicable to maintenance personnel, such as, for example, manual activation of the special tool for the piloting
valves used to discharge stored energy.
Under no circumstances must the piping be disconnected if they still hold residual pressure.
