Chapter 1 - Safety; Foreword - GEISMAR STUMEC MC3 Manual

1.1 Foreword

The following set of rules has been drawn up to ensure the application of precautionary principles that help to preserve the safety of persons and property
when the machine is in use. Any failure to comply with these rules can have serious repercussions (bodily injury, etc.), and can even be fatal, so we must draw
your attention to the fact that all persons involved in the use, maintenance, storage or custody of the machine covered by the present manual must be familiar
with these rules.
Any users who cause an accident through failure to comply with these rules will be held personally responsible for the results of their actions.
1.2 Instructions for safety and general use
All persons using, servicing or repairing this equipment must have undergone the training, possess the skills, and have at their disposal the tools necessary to
carry out any such operations.
Before using the equipment, even in a maintenance context, it is necessary to read the corresponding instruction manual, together with its appendices, and the
safety rules in force in the workplace.
Comply carefully with the general safety instructions drawn up for the site by the person in charge of the site, especially if the work is carried out without
stopping or diverting traffic.
The equipment can only be used, serviced or repaired by competent personnel who have undergone thorough specialized training beforehand. The technical
documentation and the instructions are useful in completing the knowledge acquired during the training courses, but they can in no way replace theoretical and
practical qualifying training, provided in accordance with good professional practice.
If the operating company is not in a position to carry out the necessary training for its staff, at a satisfactory level, the GEISMAR/STUMEC Company is able
to provide advice concerning the training programme to be implemented.
The training must include an explanation of the various equipment functions, the instructions for use and maintenance, and the safety rules applicable, together
with practical exercises.
IMPORTANT! All persons using the machine must comply with the labour regulations in force
The GEISMAR/STUMEC Company cannot be held responsible for any modifications made without its
written approval, or for any assembly work not in conformity with its recommendations, especially in the
case of use of parts other than original manufacturer's parts.
