• When performing set-up work or changing a tool,
thoroughly clean the immediate area of the machine you
are working on. The proper way to do this is by suction,
never by blowing it clean with compressed air. Dust deposits
can cause malfunctions and / or damage to property during
later operation.
• Always make sure tools are securely fastened.
• Completely remove any assembly or servicing aids, tools,
cleaning cloths, assembly waste etc. from the machine.
• Make sure all components can move freely.
• After completing all connecting, set-up, servicing and / or
repair work, check the machine to make sure it is safe and
ready to operate.
• Check all guards for proper attachment.
• Moving / rotating machine elements that cannot be covered
for operating reasons always present a source of danger
with a major risk of injury from pinching, cutting, shearing,
snatching, catching, winding or attack points.
• Carry out function checks and trial run as instructed and,
in particular, make sure the safety guards are in proper
working order.
• Familiarise yourself with possible switching errors and how
to avoid them as well as with the measures necessary in the
event of faulty operating results.
• After completing function checks / trial run, return the
machine to a state of operational readiness for the operator
and, if necessary, draw the operator's attention to any
changes to machine handling.
