General safety rules
7. Symbols used in the wording of this operating manual
The hazard statements and warnings do not claim to be a
full list of all precautionary measures required for operating
the machine safely or for carrying out maintenance work on
it. A specific machine combination, particular installation
requirements or local conditions, specific connecting modes,
operating conditions, material or component properties etc.
may call for additional safety measures.
In other words, this operating manual does not release
the owner from the duty to devise his or her own health
and safety rules as well as safe work procedures tailored to
his or her production needs, and to apply these and monitor
their observance.
This operating manual draws attention to and directly
warns of hazards. Particular attention must be paid to these
passages which are marked as follows:

9. Tasks and duties of operating personnel
• Observe the provisions on occupational health and safety.
Adhere to proper and safe work practices for all measures.
Always use prescribed personal protective equipment (safety
goggles, protective clothing, ear protection, safety shoes etc.).
Makes sure your protective equipment is in proper order.
Warning!
Any person given the task of carrying out a measure
described in this operating manual at the place of
machine installation must have read and understood
the operating manual, especially this section of safety,
before commencing. It is too late for this once the
machine is operating.
Before commencing work, familiarise yourself with:
• hazards or residual hazards, i.e. hazards that cannot be
avoided without impeding proper working order, at the
machine or site of installation.
• additional hazards that exist while the machine is
operating, e.g. from noise emission,
• the cleaning agents to use, e.g. for cleaning and servicing
work,
• protective equipment and safety guards on the machine,
• any hazards from machine equipment.
Note!
Keep escape routes clear.
• Familiarise yourself with the fire-fighting equipment and
follow the instructions provided on fire extinguishers.
• Only allow authorised persons to work on the machine, start
it up, put it into operation or shut it down.
• Before switching the machine on, make sure it is safe to use
and ready for operation.
• Make sure no person is at risk from the starting machine,
component conveyor, machine emissions etc.
Danger!
Never switch the machine on if any person is present
in the machine's danger zone.
Only ever switch the machine on after making sure that:
• any malfunctions have been fully rectified,
• set-up and servicing work have been properly completed,
• worn and / or damaged components have been replaced,
• all protective equipment and safety guards are in proper
working order.
Refrain from any switching operation and work practice that
affects the safety of persons or machine safety in any way
whatsoever.
When operating the machine, only wear suitable, closely
fitting clothing and protect long hair. You could be pulled into
the machine as a result of clothing getting caught or wound
around moving or rotating machine parts.
Check the machine at least once a day for externally visible
damage or defects.
Immediately inform the department to be appointed by
the owner or supervisor of any changes to the machine, to
the way it works, to operating conditions or component
properties.
Danger!
Immediately shut the machine down if malfunctions
occur, particularly if such affects your personal safety,
the safety of your surroundings or the operating safety
of the machine or overall system.
Only carry out cleaning and care work after shutting down
the machine and making it safe.
Unplug the machine at the mains plug, lock the machine in its
current state.
Before attempting any maintenance work, instruct a qualified
electrician to isolate the machine from the power supply and
earth it to reliably prevent the machine from being switched
on unintentionally or by mistake.
Never make unauthorised modifications or alterations to the
machine, especially not to protective equipment or safety
guards.
Observe the requirements of environmental protection
legislation to make sure waste of any type is disposed of in
the proper manner.
Always make sure the site of machine installation is clean and
tidy.
Avoid slippery floors and stumbling hazards.
