H1 Introduction
The machines are provided with electric and/or
mechanical safety devices for protecting workers and
the machine itself. Therefore the user must not remove
or tamper with such devices.
The Manufacturer declines any liability for damage due
to tampering or their non-use.
H1.1 Protection devices installed on the machine
H1.1.1 Guards
The guards on the machine are:
- fixed guards (e.g. casings, covers, side panelling,
etc.), fixed to the machine and/or frame with screws
or quick-release couplings that can only be
removed or opened with tools;
- interlocked movable guards (front panels) for
access to inside the machine;
- access doors to the machine's electrical equip-
ment, made from hinged panels openable with
tools. The door must not be opened during machine
movement, if inside the door there is equipment
that is hazardous when live or under pressure.
IMPORTANT!
Several illustrations in the manual rep-
resent the machine, or parts of it, with-
out guards or with guards removed.
This is purely for explanatory require-
ments. Never operate the machine
without the guards or with the safety
devices deactivated.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING!
Do not remove, tamper with or make
the labels on the machine illegible.
H2 Decommissioning
When the machine is no longer to be used, make it
unusable by removing the feed wiring from the power
supply and the water connections.
H3 Instructions for use and maintenance
Risks mainly of a mechanical, thermal and electrical
nature are present in the machine.
Where possible the risks have been neutralized:
• directly, by means of adequate design solutions,
• or indirectly by using guards, protection and safety
devices.
Any anomalous situations are signalled on the control
panel display.
During maintenance several risks remain, as these
could not be eliminated and which must be neutralized
through specific behaviour and precautions.
Do not carry out any control, cleaning, repair or main-
tenance operations on moving parts.
Workers must be informed of the prohibition by means
of clearly visible signs.
To guarantee machine efficiency and correct opera-
tion, periodical maintenance must be carried out
according to the instructions given in this manual.
In particular, make sure to periodically check correct
operation of all the safety devices and the insulation of
electrical cables, which must be replaced if damaged.
IMPORTANT!
Machine maintenance operations must
only be carried out by specialized
Technicians provided with all neces-
sary personal protection equipment
(safety shoes, gloves, glasses, over-
alls, etc.), tools, utensils and suitable
ancillary means.
WARNING!
Never operate the machine by remov-
ing, modifying or tampering with the
guards and
devices.
IMPORTANT!
Before carrying out any operation on
the machine, always consult the man-
ual which gives the correct procedures
and contains important information on
safety.
