21. Repairs

Any repairs to the mechanical components demand a high
level of specialised knowledge and experience.
Wherever possible only have any necessary repair work carried
out by Hettich FurnTech GmbH & Co. KG.
Note!
It is not permissible to make alterations or
attachments / modifications to the machine if they
affect the way in which the machine works or its
active / passive safety.
Only carry out repairs to the machine if you possess the
relevant specialised knowledge and follow the instructions in
this operating manual.
To satisfy safety requirements, always restore the original,
safe state at the place of use.
When performing any work only use sound tools in a way that
satisfies safety requirements and reflects the usual code of
practice.

22. Replacement parts

Replacement parts, items of equipment or replacement
substances not tested and approved by Hettich FurnTech
GmbH & Co. KG may jeopardise the machine's active and
passive safety. Replacement parts must only be fitted by
qualified persons from Hettich FurnTech GmbH & Co. KG.
Danger!
Worn or damaged components affect safety and must
be replaced immediately.
Only use genuine replacement parts. Non-genuine parts
may not withstand the prevailing levels of stress and strain
and may not provide the required level of safety. The risk
of accidents may be increased as a result of inappropriate
specifications, poor quality, incompatibility etc. Any risk from
non-genuine parts or items of equipment shall be borne solely
by the owner.

23. Guards / safety components

Only put the machine into operation with properly
functioning guards and safety components.
Warning!
It is explicitly prohibited to remove, deactivate, bypass
and alter safety guards. The owner is solely liable for
the consequences.

Mechanical guards

• All guards must be protected from coming into contact with
moving or rotating machine elements.
• While the machine is running, the machine and danger zone
must be closed off by an isolating safety fence to guard
against unauthorised access.

24. Main power supply

The plug for the main power supply has the purpose of
disconnecting the machine from the electrical power supply.
Before disconnecting the machine from the power supply, e.g.
to shut it down:
• clear (empty) the machine, i.e. all components must have
left the machine,
• switch the machine off,
• wait for the machine to stop and switch off the master
switch.

25. Pneumatic safety guards

The servicing unit has a coupling. Before carrying out any
work on the machine, this must be detached from the
machine to depressurise it.

26. Supplementary guards

The owner is responsible for installing any further safety
guards necessary on the grounds of local circumstances,
under internal regulations or under the requirements of local
supervisory authorities.
Unless otherwise stated in the order confirmation and
otherwise shown in the installation plan, the safety guards
listed below are not provided by
Hettich FurnTech GmbH & Co. KG.
• Guards to prevent any emissions escaping from the
machine, for directly adjacent work place or traffic ways.
• Collision guard for the machine or operator position as
protection against damage from industrial trucks.
• Colour markings required under accident prevention
regulations (UVV), e.g. on the floor, as safety markings to
indicate work areas, traffic ways etc.

27. Disposal and protecting the environment

Any disposal must be in accordance with regulations and in
observance of the law!
Maintenance (servicing) and repair work may produce
the following waste materials requiring disposal – at the
responsibility of the machine owner:
• lubricants, cleaning agents and expendables,
• waste of all types, including worn machine components and
tools
• liquid wastes must be collected as groundwater-polluting
substances in closed, approved containers and disposed of
in the proper manner.
• Immediately bind spilled liquids.
• Never allow auxiliary substances (e.g. waste oils) to seep
into the soil or sewer.
Observe internal, local or regional provisions when disposing
of any item.
When disposing of the machine (dismantling or scrapping) all
components must preferably be recycled by material group.
After completely emptying and cleaning lubricant systems
(drilling units etc.), dismantling them may necessitate disposal
of the following material groups:
metals: steel, aluminium (mechanical engineering materials),
plastics: PVC (hoses),
elastomers: cable coverings, seals, electrical devices /
operating equipment.
Dismantled components must be collected separately by
material group, non-recyclable residuals must be disposed of.
Observe the Regulation on Electronic Scrap when disposing of
drives and items of equipment
