GENERAL SAFETY RULES
H1
Introduction
The machines are provided with electric and/or mechan-
ical safety devices for protecting workers and the
machine itself. Therefore the user must not remove or
tamper with such devices.
The Manufacturer declines any liability for damage due
to tampering or their non-use.
H1.1
Protection devices installed on the machine
H1.1.1
Guards
The guards on the machine are:
-
fixed guards (e.g. casings, covers, side panelling,
etc.), fixed to the machine and/or frame with screws
or quick-release couplings that can only be removed
or opened with tools;
-
interlocked movable guards (front panels) for access
to inside the machine;
-
access doors to the machine’s electrical equipment,
made from hinged panels openable with tools. The
door must not be opened during machine movement,
if inside the door there is equipment that is hazardous
when live or under pressure.
H1.2
Safety signs to be displayed on the machine
or near the work area
H2
Decommissioning
When the machine is no longer to be used, make it
unusable by removing the feed wiring from the power
supply and the water connections.
H3
Instructions for use and maintenance
Risks mainly of a mechanical, thermal and electrical
nature are present in the machine.
Where possible the risks have been neutralized:
•
directly, by means of adequate design solutions,
•
or indirectly by using guards, protection and safety
devices.
Any anomalous situations are signalled on the control
panel display.
During maintenance several risks remain, as these could
not be eliminated and which must be neutralized through
specific behaviour and precautions.
Do not carry out any control, cleaning, repair or mainte-
nance operations on moving parts.
Workers must be informed of the prohibition by means of
clearly visible signs.
To guarantee machine efficiency and correct operation,
periodical maintenance must be carried out according to
the instructions given in this manual.
In particular, make sure to periodically check correct
operation of all the safety devices and the insulation of
electrical cables, which must be replaced if damaged.
IMPORTANT!
Several illustrations in the manual repre-
sent the machine, or parts of it, without
guards or with guards removed. This is
purely for explanatory requirements.
Never operate the machine without the
guards or with the safety devices deacti-
vated.
