3. Safety
Energy sources:
· Pneumatic energy
Pneumatic energy through the supply connection on the
machine frame. Make sure that all machine components are
depressurised and any stored energy is dissipated. As part of
the installation process, the owner will provide a mechanical
main cock at which the machine can be disconnected from
the compressed air supply.
Caution
Risk of injury from releasing jammed compo-
nents
On releasing a jam, pneumatic cylinders cont-
rolled by valves can produce unexpected residual
movements and injure persons present in the
hazard zone!
When releasing jams, pay attention to the di-
rection of movements and the area in which the
jammed unit may be working in!
Do not reach into or stand in the direction of
movement and possible working area.

3.3 Safety precautions for the user company
All persons entrusted with operating the machine (including
line managers) must familiarise themselves with the section
on "Safety".
The safety precautions must be followed.
The machine must only be operated if it is in proper working
order. The user company will issue clear responsibilities, e.g.
for servicing, cleaning or repair, and ensure that the persons
carrying out this type of work have received the training
necessary for it.
The safety regulations applicable in the owner's country must
also be observed. Refrain from any work that adversely affects
operating safety.
The operating personnel will check the machine for changes
or malfunctions, report such to the safety officer responsible
and, if necessary, take the machine out of operation.
Only appropriate tools must be used for the work that needs
to be done; remove tools after completing work. The place at
which staff work must be selected in such a way as to ensure
that work operations can be viewed at all times, the machine
can always be stopped immediately and safety is never at risk.
Warning
Never
reach into the machine when it is operating.
· remove covers and take safety guards out of
operation.
· hinder unobstructed access to the controls.
· continue operating the machine if changes
occur that adversely affect safety.
· manipulate or circumvent safety guards.

3.4 Noise
This machines A weighted equivalent continuous sound level
is under 80 dB (A).
Warning
Hearing damage warning!
Local conditions may produce elevated sound
pressure and cause noise induced hearing loss!
In this case, operating personnel must be provi-
ded with appropriate protective equipment or be
protected by other measures!
Some areas of the facility can reach noise levels
of over 80 dB (A).
Wear ear protectors when working in noisy
areas!
3.5 Oils, greases and other chemical substances
When handling oils, greases and other chemical substances,
you must observe and follow the applicable regulations and
safety data sheets of the manufacturers of these substances
with regard to storing, handling, using and disposing of them.
When working with caustic substances, you must wear pro-
tective equipment of suitable material (safety goggles, rubber
gloves, rubber boots, protective clothing).
In the event of contact with the eyes or skin, immediately
rinse the area affected with copious quantities of water. Ap-
propriate facilities (eye wash bottle, wash basin, shower) must
be provided near the work area.
3.6 Residual risk
Caution
Residual hazards!
Handling the machine involves residual hazards
that could not be eliminated by design measures.
Pay attention to the residual risks in the Techni-
cal Documentation!
The machine reflects the state of the art and is built in ac-
cordance with recognised safety regulations. All the same, the
user or third parties may still be exposed to hazards.
The machine must be used
· for the intended purpose
· in an absolutely safe state.
Warning
Risk of injury!
Never remove safety devices or render them inef-
fective by making changes to the machine!
Malfunctions presenting a safety risk must be
rectified without delay!
