Take the necessary precautions to ensure that the machine is used only when in a safe and reliable state!
Operate the machine only if all protective and safety-oriented devices, such as removable safety devices,
emergency shut-off equipment, soundproofing elements and exhausters, are in place and fully functional!
Check the machine at least once per working shift for obvious damage and defects. Report any changes (incl.
changes in the machine's working behaviour) to the competent organization/person immediately. If necessary,
stop the machine immediately!
In the event of malfunctions, stop the machine immediately. Have any defects rectified immediately!
Before starting up or setting the machine in motion, make sure that nobody is at risk!

Before leaving the machine secure it against inadvertent movement and unauthorized use!
Special work in conjunction with utilization of the machine and maintenance and repairs
during operation; disposal of parts and consumables
Observe the adjusting, maintenance and inspection activities and intervals set out in the operating instructions,
including information on the replacement of parts and equipment. These activities may be executed by skilled
personnel only!
Brief operating personnel before beginning special operations and maintenance work, and appoint a person
