2.1 General Safety Information

All personnel involved in installation, set-up, operation maintenance and repair of the

machine, must have read and understood the Operation Manual and in particular the

"Safety" section. The user is recommended to generate company-internal instructions

considering the professional qualifications of the personnel employed in each case, and the

receipt of the instruction/Operation Manual or the participation at introduction/training should

be acknowledged in writing in each case.

Safety-conscious Working

The machine must only be operated by trained and authorized personnel.

The scopes of competence for the different activities in the scope of operating the machine

must be clearly defined and observed, so that under the aspect of safety no unclear

questions of competence occur. This applies in particular to activities on the electric

equipment, which must only be performed by special experts.

For all activities concerning installation, set-up, start-up, operation, modifications of

conditions and methods of operation, maintenance, inspection and repair, the switch-off

procedures that may be provided in the Operation Manual must be observed.

Safety Information for the User and/or Operating Personnel

 No working methods are permitted that affect the safety of the machine.

 The operator must also ensure that no unauthorized persons work with the machine

(e.g. by activating equipment without authorization).

 It is the duty of the operator, to check the machine before start of work for externally

visible damage and defects, and to immediately report changes that appear (including

behavior during operation) that affect the safety.

removal of safety components is required during repair and service, the replacement

of the safety components must be performed immediately after completion of the

service and repair activities.

 Preparation, retooling, change of work piece, maintenance and repair activities must

only performed with equipment switched off, by trained personnel.
