Safety
Tips and recommendations
Observe the safety information in these operating in-
structions to minimise the risk of personal injury as well
as material damage and prevent hazardous situations.
2.2 Obligations of the operating com-
pany
Of the operator
The operating company is the person who operates the
lathe for business or commercial reasons by herself, or
leaves it to a third party for use or application, and who
bears the legal product responsibility for the protection of
the user, the staff or for third parties.
Obligations of the operating company
If the lathe is used for commercial purposes, the opera-
ting company of the lathe must comply with the legal
working safety regulations. Therefore, the safety notes in
this operating manual, as well as the safety, accident
prevention and environment protection regulations ap-
plying for the area of application of the lathe must be
met. The following applies in particular:
- The operator must inform himself about the appli-
cable occupational health and safety regulations
and determine additional hazards in a hazard as-
sessment which are caused by the special working
conditions at the place of use of the machine.
These must be implemented in the form of opera-
ting instructions for the operation of the machine.
- During the entire period of use of the machine, the
operator must check whether the operating instruc-
tions issued by him correspond to the current state
of the rules and regulations and, if necessary, ad-
apt them.
- The operator must clearly regulate and define the
responsibilities for installation, operation, trouble-
shooting, maintenance and cleaning.
- The operator must ensure that all persons handling
the machine have read and understood these in-
structions. In addition, he must train the personnel
at regular intervals and inform them about the dan-
gers.
- The operator must provide the personnel with the
necessary protective equipment and instruct them
to wear the required protective equipment in a bin-
ding manner.
Furthermore, the operator is responsible for ensuring
that the machine is always in perfect technical condition.
The following therefore applies:
- The operator must ensure that the maintenance inter-
vals described in these instructions are observed.
- The operator must have all safety devices regularly
checked for operability and completeness.
