Organizational
Measures
The operator's manual must always be available near the machine.
In addition to reading the operator's manual, observe and instruct the user in all other
generally applicable legal and other mandatory regulations relevant to accident
prevention and environmental protection.
The operator's manual must be supplemented by instructions covering the duties
involved in supervising and notifying special organizational features, such as job
organization, working sequences or the personnel entrusted with the work.
Personnel entrusted with work on the machine must have read the operator's manual
and in particular the chapter on safety before beginning the work.
Reading the instructions after work has begun is too late.
This applies especially to persons working occasionally on the machine, e.g.
during setting up or maintenance.
Check, at least from time to time, whether the personnel is carrying out the work in
compliance with the operator's manual and paying attention to risks and safety factors.
For reasons of safety, long hair must be tied back or otherwise secured, garments must
be close-fitting and no jewelry - such as rings - may be worn.
Injury may result from being caught on moving parts.
Observe all safety instructions and warnings attached to the machine.
See to it that safety instructions and warnings attached to the machine are always
complete and perfectly legible.
In the event of safety-relevant modifications or changes in the performance of the
machine during operation, stop the machine immediately and report the malfunction
to the competent person.
Never make any modifications, additions or conversions which might affect safety
without the manufacturer's approval. Adhere to prescribed intervals or those specified
in the operator's manual for routine checks and inspections.

precautions to ensure that the machine is used only in a safe and reliable state.
Operate the machine only if all protective and safety-oriented devices, such as re-
movable safety devices, emergency stops, sound proofing elements, are in place and
fully functional. In the event of malfunctions stop the machine immediately and pre-
vent further use. Have any defects rectified immediately.
Before starting up or setting the machine in motion, make sure that nobody is in dan-
ger.
