3.2 General
The machine described in these operating instructions is built to
the state of the art and is safe to operate.
It complies with DIN EN 12100.
Hazard zones are made safe in compliance with the regulations.
However, the machine may present hazards if it is used by untrai-
ned personnel improperly or not for the intended purpose.
This may then result in risks to life and limb, jeopardise the ma-
chine and prevent it from working efficiently.
Any person given the task of installing, starting, operating, ser-
vicing or repairing the machine at the user's premises must have
read and understood these instructions, in particular the section
on "Safety advice".
In his or her own interest, the safety officer at the user company
should obtain written conformation from operating personnel
that they have received instruction and training and are familiar
with all safety advice before they use the machine for the first
time.
The safety guards must never be removed or taken out of opera-
tion.
If safety guards need removing for maintenance and repair work,
they must be refitted as soon as such work has been completed.
The machine must only be used if it is in proper working order
and operated by trained, authorised personnel.
Work requiring specialised knowledge (e.g. pneumatic system)
must only be carried out by persons specifically trained and suita-
ble to do so.
Switch off energy sources before carrying out repair, servicing,
installation or cleaning work.
