Basic Operation

The machine has been built in accordance with state-of-the art standards and the recognized safety rules.
Nevertheless, operators and third parties may get injured when working with the machine, or damage to the
machine and to other material property may result.
The machine must only be used in technically perfect condition in accordance with its designated use and
the instructions set out in the operator's manual, and only by safety-conscious persons who are fully aware
of the risks involved in operating the machine.
Any functional disorders, especially those affecting the safety of the machine, should therefore be rectified
immediately.
Organizational Measures
The operator's manual must always be available near the machine.
In addition to reading the operator's manual, observe and instruct the user in all other generally applicable
legal and other mandatory regulations relevant to accident prevention and environmental protection.
The operator's manual must be supplemented by instructions covering the duties involved in supervising
and notifying special organizational features, such as job organization, working sequences or the personnel
entrusted with the work.
Personnel entrusted with work on the machine must have read the operator's manual and in particular the
chapter on safety before beginning work.
Reading the instructions after work has begun is too late.
This applies especially to persons working only occasionally on the machine, e.g. during setting up or
maintenance.
Check, at least from time to time - whether the personnel is carrying out the work in compliance with the
operator's manual and paying attention to risks and safety factors.
For reasons of security, long hair must be tied back or otherwise secured, garments must be close-fitting and
no jewelry - such as rings - may be worn. Injury may result from being caught on moving parts.
Observe all safety instructions and warnings attached to the machine.
See to it that safety instructions and warnings attached to the machine are always complete and perfectly
legible.
In the event of safety-relevant modifications or changes in the behavior of the machine during operation,
stop the machine immediately and report the malfunction to the competent person.
Never make any modifications, additions or conversions which might affect safety without the manufacturer's
approval.
Adhere to prescribed intervals or those specified in the operator's manual for routine checks and
inspections.
Selection and Qualification of Personnel - Basic Responsibilities
Employ only trained or instructed staff and set out clearly the individual responsibilities of the personnel for
operation, set-up, maintenance and repair.
Work on the electrical system and equipment of the machine must be carried out only by a skilled electrician
or by instructed persons under the supervision and guidance of a skilled electrician and in accordance with
electrical engineering rules and regulations.
