Safety
Attention:
Serious accidents may occur if the machine is handled incorrectly.
Safety information provided in the Operating manual
All rules and regulations regarding the prevention of accidents, which are applicable at the place of use, have to be
observed.
Obligations of the owner
The owner undertakes to only let such persons work on the machine who are familiar with the basic regulations on
work safety and accident prevention, have been instructed in the operation of the hose press, and have read and
understood the operating manual. The owner shall check at regular intervals whether the personnel is operating the
machine according to the safety regulations.
Obligations of the personnel
All persons authorized to work with this Uniflex machine are obliged to observe the basic regulations on work
safety and accident prevention and read the operating manual.
Hazards when operating the machine
This machine has been constructed according to state-of-the-art engineering and acknowledged safety regulations.
Nonetheless, dangers can arise for the operator and third persons. Additionally the machine and/or other property
can be damaged during incorrect operation. The machine may therefore only be used:
for its proper purpose and intended use,
when it is in perfect and safe working order.
Any faults have to be remedied immediately.
Compliance with all existing safety guidelines is mandatory for the safe operating of the hydraulic press.
Necessary slits for inserting the workpiece must be minimized by limiting the opening stroke.
Due to the diversity of changing, customized workpieces it is not possible for Uniflex Hydraulik to include
additional safety devices in the machine’s delivery that could avert any remaining dangers resulting from
the machine.
The operator must check the necessity for additional safety devices, tailored to the workpiece, before
putting the machine into operation. This may for example, become necessary for angled workpiece
geometries that require a large opening of the press for insertion.
If additional safety devices become necessary, they must be installed prior to commissioning to ensure the
continuous safety of the operator.
We particularly point out that the machine may only be used for its intended purpose. Especially non-metal
workpieces can, by the pressing procedure, be stressed in such a manner that this may lead to a sudden
failure of the material. Chips or strongly accelerated workpiece parts also present a high potential risk of
danger for the operator and persons and objects even beyond the work area.
On request Uniflex Hydraulik can provide individual solutions for safety devices. For a consultation please
contact your personal contact partner.
