Operators
- Use only skilled and competent personnel. Establish clearly personnel duties for handling, setting up, use,
maintenance and repair of the machine.
- Electrical installation and connections must only be made by a qualified technician.
NOTE: A qualified technician is defined as anyone who has completed a specialised training course
and has experience in the field of installation, putting into service and maintenance of systems.
- The qualified technician must also be familiar with first-aid techniques in the event of accident.
- Staff involved in operating, maintenance, cleaning, inspection etc. will in any case have to carefully observe
the safety rules in force in the country where the machine is to be used.
- All operators should dress in a suitable manner for the work place and for the job to be carried out.
For example: wear clothes that are not too loose (which could be caught in the moving machine parts), wear
safety shoes, gloves and, where necessary, other safety wear such as sound insulating ear plugs, goggles
and a mask.
The machine operator or maintenance technician must not wear neck chains, bracelets or rings, and long
hair should be tied back.
- If long pieces that protrude significantly beyond the machine are machined, the areas must be made off
limits and marked as such (e.g. floor markings) and if necessary access limited by mobile barriers.
- When using any cooling-lubricating liquids (which may contain active chemical additives harmful to health)
the regulations that govern the treatment and disposal must be observed (see the technical safety sheet
enclosed with this manual).
- Routine and extraordinary maintenance operations must take place with the machine stopped and
disconnected from the mains and pneumatic power supply . To cut off the power supplies to the machine
a padlock must be put on the main switch and the pneumatic supply quick connector has to be detached,
or, if present, fit a padlock to the pneumatic master switch. If the machine is out of service for any reason
make this known by putting up a sign.
- Any work on the pneumatic systems must only be performed after having discharged the pressure inside
the circuit.
- Removal of the safety guards and tampering with the safety devices is absolutely forbidden. Furthermore,
if it is noticed that one or more of the safety devices are not working, the machine must be stopped
immediately.
- It is absolutely forbidden to climb onto the machine to carry out any type of operation when it is being supplied
with electrical and pneumatic power.
- Electrical connections should be made according to the general installation rules for the preparation and
operation of electrical systems.
