1. Follow all safety instructions on the machine. Ensure that all instructions are legible!
2. Inspect the machine for visible damage and defects at least once every shift! If you notice
any safety-threatening alterations to the machine or its operating behavior, stop the ma-
chine immediately and notify your supervisor!
3. Do not attempt to modify the machine in any way which may impair its safety without first
consulting your machine dealer! This also applies to the installation of unchecked "safety
devices"!
4. All spare parts must comply with the technical requirements of the manufacturer. This is
guarantied for all original PFT parts!
5. Only trained or authorized personnel should operate the machine. Clearly define all lines
of responsibility for operation, equipping, service and maintenance!
6. Personnel undergoing training should only be allowed to operate the machine under su-
pervision of experienced personnel!
7. All electrical work should be carried out by a qualified electrician or by trained personnel
under the supervision of a qualified electrician and should comply with electro-technical
regulations.
8. Observe all instructions for turning the machine on and off. Watch control lamps for sig-
nals.
9. When the machine is completely switched off for maintenance and repair work, ensure
that it cannot be switched back on accidentally (for example, lock the main switch and
remove the key, or attach a warning sign to the main switch).
10. Before cleaning the machine with a water jet, seal all openings through which water could
enter, thereby impairing the safety and proper functioning of the machine (electric motors
and control boxes). After cleaning, remove all covers.
11. Only use original fuses with prescribed amps!
12. If work must be carried out on voltage-carrying parts, a second technician should stand
by to switch off the mains in case of emergency.
13. Disconnect the machine from any external energy source before you relocate it, even if
you are only moving it a short distance. Reconnect the machine to the mains properly be-
fore starting it up again.
14. Set up the machine on stable ground and secure it against unintentional movements.
15. Lay out the conveying lines safely. Do not rest them on sharp edges!
16. Depressurize all conveying systems before opening conveying lines!
17. When unclogging hoses, stand away from the machine to avoid injury through high-
pressure discharges of mortar. Always wear safety goggles. No other persons should be
near the machine during this procedure!
18. If the permanent noise level exceeds 85 dB(A), appropriate noise protection devices
must be provided.
19. If necessary, wear the following protective clothing while spraying: Safety goggles, safety
shoes, safety clothing, gloves, protective skin cream and respirator mask.
20. If required, have the machine inspected by a qualified person. This should however
happen at least once a year.
