Basic safety instructions

The pipe cutting and beveling machine (hereinafter referred to as the GF 4, GF 6, RA 8 or RA 12 (AVM/MVM)) is a state-of-the-art
machine designed for safe use. The risks involved in using the machine are described in the operating instructions below. Using
this machine in a way other than that described in these instructions can lead to serious physical injury and material damage:
• Observe warning messages at all times.
• Keep complete documentation close by the machine.
• Generally valid regulations for the prevention of accidents must be observed.
• Observe country-specific regulations, standards and guidelines.
• Always ensure that the machine is in good working order. Observe the maintenance information (see chap. 10.1, p. 98).
• Only operate the machine if all the safety equipment such as the restart inhibitor, overload protection and chips guard are
in good working order. The machine must have a solid footing. Check whether the substrate is able to take sufficient loads. A
radial space requirement/freedom of movement of approx. 2 m around the machine is required for people.
• Report any unusual machine behavior to the person responsible immediately.
• Only use the dimensions and materials specified in these instructions. Other materials should be used only after consulting
with Orbitalum Tools customer service.
• Use only original tools, spare parts, materials and accessories from Orbitalum Tools.
• Repair and maintenance work on the electrical equipment may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
• At the end of each working cycle, before transportation, changing tools, cleaning and performing any maintenance, adjust-
ment or repair work, switch off the machine, wait until the machine/tool stops running and pull the mains plug.
• Do not carry the machine by the cable and do not use the machine to pull out the plug except in an emergency.
• Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges (chips).
• During operation, keep hands away from the tools.
• Check that the work piece is correctly clamped.
• Switch on the machine only when the pipe has been clamped.
• When working with the AVM: in case of danger, immediately press the EMERGENCY OFF button.
• When working with the AVM, the AVM stops automatically after each cut. If you are working manually, switch off the machine
after each working cycle (ON/OFF switch of the pipe cutter), wait until the machine/tool stops running and pull the mains plug.
• When working with the AVM, do not stand in the swiveling range while the automatic rotary housing is rotating).
• When working with the AVM: the machine may only be operated with the AVM protective bar assembled (for information on
the protective bar, see chap. 3.3, p. 64).
• Do not use the machine in wet surroundings. Only work in canopied surroundings.
• In extreme conditions of use, conductive dust can settle inside the machine. For this reason and for better safety, an on-site
SPE-PRCD or ground-fault circuit is required between the mains network and the machine, to be installed and tested if
necessary by a professional electrician.
• When working with the machine wear safety shoes (as per EN ISO 20345 at least S1), safety goggles (as per DIN EN 166 Class
2, basic strength S), snug-fitting safety gloves (as per DIN EN 388, Class 2 resistance to abrasion, cut resistance Class 3, tear
resistance Class 2, perforation resistance Class 3 and as per EN 407 at least Performance level 1 against contact heat) and
hearing protection (as per DIN EN 352-4 or comparable).
• Operator age: The respectively valid country-specific laws/standards/guidelines/directives have to be followed.
