Accident Prevention Rules m
Do not carry out maintenance or adjustment
measures before carefully reading this operating
manual.
The plan given here for regular maintenance
must be observed both for safety reasons and
for efficient operation of the machine.
The safety labels should always be clean and
legible and be followed precisely to avoid ac-
cidents, but if the signs are damaged or lost or
belong to parts that were exchanged, they must
be replaced by new original signs to be reques-
ted from the manufacturer and attached at the

In the case of fires, dry chemical extinguishing
agents must be used. Fires at the machine may
not be extinguished with a water jet due to risk
of short-circuit.
If the fire cannot be immediately extinguished,
one has to pay attention to the spilled fluids.
In case of persistent fire, the oil tank or pres-
surised systems may explode: therefore, make
sure that you do not come in contact with the
leaking liquids.
