2.3 Operating staff qualification
The different tasks described in these operating instruc-
tions require different levels of skills in terms of the quali-
fications of operating staff working with the machine.
Exclusively persons of whom it can be expected that
they reliably complete assigned tasks shall be author-
ised to carry out any tasks. Persons whose reactions
have been impaired shall not be authorized, e.g. drug us-
ers, users under the influence of alcohol or medication.
These operating instructions specify the following per-
sonal qualifications for the different tasks:
Operating staff:
Operating staff has undergone an induction by the oper-
ator about the entrusted tasks and potential hazards re-
sulting from improper behaviour. Operating staff shall ex-
clusively be permitted to carry out any tasks beyond
operation in normal mode if this has been specified in the
operating instructions and operators have explicitly en-
trusted operating staff with the task.
Specialist staff:
As a result of specialist training, expertise, experience
and skills in terms of the relevant standards and regula-
tions, specialist staff is able to complete the tasks they
are entrusted with and independently identify hazards
and avert risks.
Manufacturer:
Certain work must be carried out by manufacturer spe-
cialist staff only. Other staff is not permitted to carry out
this work. Contact our customer service to have the work
carried out.
2.4 Personal protective equipment
Personal protective equipment is intended to protect the
health and safety of persons at work. Staff must wear the
personal protective equipment indicated in individual
sections of these operating instructions when carrying
out the different tasks on the machine.
The personal protective equipment is described in the
following section:
2.5 Safety identifications on the workshop
press

protection, wear protective clothing and safety shoes
Safety identifications attached to the machine must not
be removed. Damaged or missing safety identifications
may cause errors, personal injury and material damage.
They must be replaced immediately.
If the safety identifications are not visible and compre-
hensible at first glance, the machine must be stopped
until new safety identifications have been attached.
WARNING!
Risk from inadequately qualified
persons!
Inadequately qualified persons are unable to assess
the risks when handling the workshop press, thus
putting themselves and others at risk of severe or
fatal injuries.
- All work must be carried out by qualified persons
only.
- Keep inadequately qualified persons away from the
work area.
Protective goggles
Protective goggles are intended to protect the eyes
from flying parts.
Protective gloves
Protective gloves are intended to protect the hands
from components with sharp objects as well as fric-
tion, abrasion, and deep-cut injuries.
Safety shoes
Safety shoes protect feet from pinching, falling parts
and slipping on slippery surfaces.
Protective clothing
Protective clothing is tight-fitting work clothing without
protruding parts, usually with a low tear resistance.
